The Spa at One&Only Cape Town

"Lording it over a manmade channel, it's built on a massive scale: The lagoon-style pool meandering between the island villas in front of the main hotel block (Marina Rise) is the city's largest hotel pool; the spa and the humungous Island suites also win the size prize, though it feels like the middle of a concrete real estate development resort down there"

"Outsize luxury is trumpeted everywhere here, from the tri-level "wine loft" in front of Reuben's to an outpost of sushi master Nobuyuki Matsuhisa's Nobu and the spa’s two manicure clinics by Bastien Gonzalez"

"Quieter and more spacious but without views, these suites surround a vast free-form infinity pool with its casual, alfresco Isola restaurant (hotel guests only in high season) that serves wood-fired pizza, tapas, and salads"

"With both a Gordon Ramsay and a Nobu restaurant as well as a world-class spa, members of the jet set are sure to feel right at home here"

"The One&Only brand is known for its spas, and this holistic sanctuary (on its own island) offers vitality pools, an aroma steam room and a sauna in a setting that blends African and modern style influences"
