The President Hotel is collaborating with Healing Earth to host a one-day wellness event called Wellness Escape, scheduled for Saturday, October 17, 2026. The event aims to help guests disconnect from daily hustle, restore energy, and slow down.
This event takes place between the Atlantic Ocean and Lion's Head, combining elements of mindful movement, nourishing food, and natural beauty. The day will begin with a refreshing dip in Saunders’ Rock, a local tidal pool located directly beneath the hotel, allowing guests to start the day in the Atlantic. Afterward, guests can warm up in a restorative sauna.
The morning will continue with a mindful yoga session led by Lee from House of Yoga, providing time for movement, breathing, and setting intentions for the day. Participants will then enjoy a nutritious wellness brunch from Wildsprout, followed by a practical workshop at Beauty Kitchen by Healing Earth.
Beauty Kitchen, utilizing Healing Earth's knowledge of natural African botanical products, invites guests to create their own body scrub to take home, while also learning more about the ingredients and rituals behind these products.
Wellness Escape is designed to give guests a chance to pause, interacting with the surrounding nature and the sense of place that defines The President Hotel. From an early swim in the Atlantic to time dedicated to movement, food, and creativity, every part of the program offers a different way to slow down the pace of life.
For those wishing to extend the experience, The President Hotel also offers a Wellness Staycation option for one night, either Friday, October 16, 2026, or Saturday, October 17, 2026. This package includes one night's accommodation and breakfast, a welcome herbal tea, a gift from Healing Earth, a full Wellness retreat and brunch, dinner, and a 60-minute full-body holistic massage. The stay concludes with a Sleep Retreat ritual, a calming in-room ritual designed to help guests relax and sleep soundly.
