If you’re spending December in the city (and secretly loving the slower pace), here’s a spoil that feels like a proper getaway without actually going anywhere. Vivari Hotel and Spa has created a limited-time staycation designed to whisk you off to a tranquil, Balinese-inspired escape just minutes from home.
Over two nights, you’re treated to the kind of indulgence that makes the year’s chaos fade fast. Think stylish rooms with beautiful views (and upgrade options if you’re in the mood for extra luxe), slow breakfasts that ease you into the day, and a blissful spa massage to reset both body and mind. Evenings end with dinner, and somewhere in between, you get to drift through their exclusive hydrotherapy suite — a mineral pool, serene lounge, and the kind of stillness you only find on holiday.
And if you want to dial the experience up a notch, there are optional extras to add to your stay:
• a personalised shopping spree at Sandton City’s Diamond Walk,
• a romantic sunrise hot air balloon ride,
• a guided safari at the Rhino and Lion Nature Reserve,
• or a private tour of Maropeng, the UNESCO World Heritage site.
It’s a beautifully curated escape for anyone craving rest, adventure, or just a change of scenery … all without leaving Joburg.
Think two nights of bliss wrapped up in a limited-time December package for R6500 per person sharing and if you’re going solo, the single supplement is R3000.
