Tucked away at the foot of the richly coloured Cederberg Mountains, sustainability infuses everything at this award-adorned retreat on the Western Cape. No detail is missed – from biodegradable detergents to strict water-saving policies. This ethos transfers to Kloof’s impressive spa, where guests can meditate amid organic fynbos or take time to enjoy restorative “journeys” tailored to their needs across a treatment room, a crystal steam room and the Riverside Gazebo. Aside from that, a plethora of activities – brush up on your culinary skills or try your hand at fly-fishing – really will provide unbridled escapism.
