Relaxing on the Cape Peninsula

Body, mind & spirit  tourism is alive and well on the Cape Point Route. The term encompasses everything from physical rejuvenation to getting away from it all and reconnecting with oneself.  It could involve visiting ancient sacred sites or kramats or walking a labyrinth. For most people relaxing is about being pampered at one of Cape Town's rejuvenating spas.

Whether your definition is a relaxing walk on a beach or a deep tissue massage; whether it is a sense of tranquility from wide open vistas & natural scenery or an adrenalin pumping adventure that is out of your normal daily life - the Cape Point Route offers a multitude of choices to rejuvenate the physical and mental aspects of our souls.

Let your Cape Point Route experience rejuvenate your very being and reconnect with what is important to you on a personal level, allowing yourself to return to daily routines refreshed and inspired.
