Iniala Beach House, Phuket

Guests arrive at the five-star retreat by water taxi, the only hotel in Africa to offer this exclusive transfer. The sound of the nearby Victoria Falls is always present during your stay and guests have access to their own private entrance to the waterfalls.

The ‘Tips of the Falls’ experience includes a full-body exfoliation with red dune sand, a botanical Kalahari clay wrap and a mist system massage to cool down. The Ukuchina massage in one of the cabanas on the banks of the River Zambezi is perfect for lymph drainage to fight water retention. Hot water, compressed with lemon scent, is used to drain the muscles and alleviate depression and a foot massage on the deck supports and rebalances the digestive tract.

The Royal Livingstone chef has also designed fresh fruit juices made with local fruits such as paw–paw and guava. Dishes designed to meet the needs of those clients who are looking for tasty, healthy options, include the use of nutrient-packed vegetables indigenous to Africa, such as Bondwe leaves, Kalembula leaves and Okra leaves.
