Anantara has opened its first spa in the African bush offering an authentic connection with the local culture, people and history of this exquisite land and paying homage to the days when Out of Africa author Karen Blixen came to this timeless paradise.
The Anantara Spa at Bilila Lodge Kempinski is the third in Tanzania and follows on from the successful ventures on the spice island of Zanzibar and in the bustling capital Dar Es Salaam. Located in the heart of the legendary Serengeti National Park, the latest Anantara Spa is a lyrical meditation on the strength and grace of Blixen and the stunning natural beauty of the landscape, which so captivated her after arriving as a young colonial bride in 1924.
Guests can explore a range of spa journeys and healing treatments inspired by the ruggedness of the savannah, the majesty of the mountains of this great continent, the cool flowing waters of Lake Manyara as well as the exquisite allure of the local flora and fauna.
The spa is designed in keeping with the landscape in which it is set with free use of wood, tiles and thatched elements. Guests enter the laid-back elegance of the spa along a wooden walkway through the authentic village style of the Bilila Lodge.
The Anantara Spa has 4 double Treatment Suites, 1 double Ayurvedic Room, 1 double Thai Massage Room as well as separate male and female changing areas, a steam room, sauna and a serene relaxation lounge with reclining beds set amid gently playing water features and beautiful gardens. The Serengeti is one of the world’s last great wildlife refuges. It is a vast area of land supporting the greatest remaining concentration of plains game in Africa, on a scale unparalleled anywhere else in the world.
Natural elements from Africa have been chosen for their purity and cultural authenticity. The physical and spiritual purity of Africa’s vast savannahs is the inspiration for a range of body wraps that include oils from indigenous Boabab, Marula and Argan and body scrubs that are prepared using local coffee beans. In addition to these incredible spa services, guests can choose to explore centuries-old therapies from Thailand, India and the Middle East that have been reinvented for the modern age - all of them tailored exactly to each guest’s personal choices and desires.
