Pilanesberg National Park

The Pilanesberg National Park is located in North West Province in South Africa, west of Pretoria. The park borders with the entertainment complex Sun City. Pilanesberg Game Reserve is home to the Big 5 and offers a variety of affordable accommodation, from self-catering to luxury 5 Star Lodges.

SPA

Nestled in a hillside just above the lodge, the Legacy Balance Spa at Bakubung is an enchanting escape from the busyness of outside life. The tranquillity of the spa’s interiors blends perfectly with its natural surrounds and the high ceilings and openness of the space allows for the sounds of nature to immerse you.

RESTORE MIND, BODY AND SOUL
A truly whimsical dreamscape, equipped with Signature Spa therapies, award-winning products, a serene and calming environment, world-class therapists, an ozone vitality pool and magnificently designed interiors. The tranquil interiors mirror the quiet environment, punctuated by the sounds of Africa; cicadas, crickets, and the warm winds moving through the grasses and trees. The treatment rooms are designed such that the game fence is only meters from the treatment beds. It is here that our skilled therapists combine their knowledge and expertise with nature, leaving you completely relaxed and spellbound by the experience: nature and nurture working as one.

TREATMENT MENU

The debut of our new spa menu heralds a new era of opulent guest experiences. Our goal is to ensure that each guest leaves feeling their investment was well-spent, elevating them to a cloud-like state and shifting their mental wellbeing to a serene space, primed to tackle the outside world. As we await the completion of our new spa menu design, we kindly invite you to browse the menu below to find your desired treatment.
