Zambia’s Royal Livingstone Hotel, on the banks of the Zambezi River, has created ‘Water Retreat Experiences’ for health conscious luxury travelers looking for an alternative well-being break combined with lifelong memories.
Water defines The Royal Livingstone. Travelers arrive at the 5* retreat by water taxi – the only hotel in Africa to offer this exclusive transfer where the journey often includes a glimpse of wildlife such as hippopotamus. The sound of the Victoria Falls – is always present during the stay and travelers have access to their own private entrance to the waterfalls – one of the Seven Wonders of the World.
The new Water Retreat Experiences unwind and prepare the body and soul. Experience the Ukuchina massage in one of the Cabanas on the banks of the River Zambezi or a foot massage on the deck to support and rebalance the digestive tract.
“We are extremely proud to introduce bespoke Water Retreat spa experiences for guests of the Royal Livingstone,” said Emmanuelle Moneger, GM of The Royal Livingstone. “We also invite our guests to reconnect with Mother Nature by exploring the Victoria Falls or swim in the Devil’s Pool just at the edge of the Falls, discovering the endless rainbows and range of colours the waterfall produces and enjoy a refreshing “shower” of negative ions known to increase levels of serotonin, therefore helping to alleviate depression, relieve stress and boost our daytime energy. Thanks to the unlimited complimentary entrance to the Victoria Falls, the hotel’s guests can enjoy a daily walk at the falls and recharge their batteries in the most natural way.”
The Royal Livingstone chef has also designed fresh fruit juices made with local fruits such as Paw–Paw and Guava and dishes designed to meet the needs of those clients who are looking for tasty, healthy options and include the use of vegetables indigenous to Africa such as Bondwe leaves, Kalembula leaves and Okra leaves.
The Royal Livingstone gives travelers the opportunity to cherry pick experiences to suit individual needs, adding more adventurous experiences such as a River Safari or a Cheetah Interaction experience should they be of interest.
