Wine
Whether you are a connoisseur or just enjoy the occasional glass of wine,
our experienced sommeliers will delight in introducing you to a vast selection
of wines from all over the world, and will recommend the best choice to
complement your meal.
Enjoy a wine-tasting where our sommeliers will guide you through several
vineyards, countries, years and cultivars; and encourage you to sample
those which they sense may suit your taste. Singita sommeliers are a group
of young and enthusiastic internationally travelled individuals, dedicated
to enhancing our guests’ knowledge and enjoyment of wines.
Through Singita Premier Wine Direct guests may purchase wines from our
cellars: either to be taken home at the end of their trip or conveniently
delivered door-to-door. As an addition to our cellar purchases, we have
secured allocations of these highly limited, sought-after wines, including
‘Icons’, ‘Single Vineyard’ and ‘Limited
Release’ wines, directly from leading wineries in South Africa.
Stored in our temperature-controlled cellars, it is unlikely that you
will find these wines freely available anywhere else.
Spa
The Singita wellness philosophy takes your personal rejuvenation to a
level well beyond any pampering you’ve previously experienced. All
our peaceful lodge spas, where nature provides its own special brand of
calm, present the ultimate escape, sure to restore equilibrium to body
and mind.
Whether you're in need of a cleansing facial, a relaxing deep-tissue massage
or a scintillating body polish, our professional therapists will assess
your specific needs and offer personalised care through a variety of therapies
and skincare treatments using the Dermalogica range. This skincare system
has superb products for every skin type.
If all the 'living it up' at the lodges motivates you to step up your
exercise programme, a visit to one of our fully equipped gyms is just
the thing to do – and with views of the bush, you can keep an eye
on the action outside while you work out.
The Singita Shop offers a wealth of treasures that have
been carefully selected from all corners of the African continent, including
artifacts, cloth, skins, beads and carvings.
You’ll find jewellery crafted from Africa’s precious metals
and gems, sculptures for the discerning art collector and bespoke furnishings
that allow guests to recreate ‘the safari dream’ of sophistication
within their own homes.
Many of the pieces are especially designed for Singita and crafted by
local craftsmen and artists. Included in the collection are also some
of the most extraordinary and sought-after artworks: silver sculptures
by world-renowned Patrick Mavros of Zimbabwe, fine-art prints of museum
quality, and works by some of Africa’s most respected wildlife artists.
Here too, you can find a range of quality branded Singita safari-wear.
It is most certainly worth experiencing the ambience of the Singita Shop
and viewing our merchandise. The Singita Shop offers a worldwide shipping
service.
