Signature Treatment
AfricologyBody Ritual: A beautiful experience in which the energetic essence of plants is captured in order to work in harmony with the body’s own energy field. Botanical treatments help combat damage to living cells and they are free of chemicals or perfumes that can disrupt your hormonal rhythm. Using the intelligence of Nature, the Wellbeing ritual starts with a renewal scrub; gently exfoliating lifeless skin cells while nourishing. This is followed by a warm compress and a nourishing, anti-oxidant body cocktail massaged into the skin. The aroma of South African Snow Bush transforms a stressful mindset to one of enduring tranquillity. Your sense of wellbeing is further enhanced with a Rose Botanical Facial which works towards rebalancing the skin’s natural oil secretions.
We Love
- The Africa's Slimming Detox Mud: An invigorating treatment that stimulates fatty cell activity. Valuable when the body is in need of a detox. Combinations of holistic African herbs are blended into our all natural earth clay which improves circulation, lymph drainage and the body’s ability to balance again.
- Watsu: A form of bodywork carried out in a warm saltwater pool which combines elements of massage, shiatsu, and movement therapy. The body is floated, stretched, and massaged. The mind calms and the muscles relax and release. Stress and tension wash away and pain is relieved. The body’s natural flexibility is renewed.
Return on Investment
Cleansed and Rebalanced.

What an amazing holiday, an experience not to miss.
The package delivered everything we hoped and more. So much expert and usable advice to take home with us to carry on the benefits of the holiday for a long time to come.
There is nothing to fault with the Shanti Maurice, every aspect was dealt with expertly and diligently. All of the staff were amazing and so friendly. Every part of the holiday was enjoyed, from the food (how could healthy eating be so delicious?) to the spa (expert staff, the Watsu treatment is not to be missed), the beach and pool, the gym (thanks Anthony for the inspiration)and the overall cleanliness and attention to detail.
There is not much going on in the evenings, but that was ideal for us, the relaxing treatments of the day were not spoiled by too much revelry going on late into the evening. There was still chance for a drink in the bar and to meet fellow residents, many different nationalities but all very friendly and good company.
Overall a new holiday experience that must be repeated, only problem we should have booked for two weeks not one

I had a very pleasant time. I really like the place, the rooms are lovely, the location on the beach is fantastic and these two things is where they really outshine Chiva Som where the rooms are a little tired and the bathrooms are below par for that level of property eg there is no shower except in the bath.. The Ayervedic massage treatments at Shanti are probably the best in the world so they beat the best of CS massages.. The food is difficult to comment on as I was on a special diet but it was nearly always very tasty.
Where Chive Som wins is the number of guests and the number of activities available for clients. Also the number of different types of therapies available. Shanti is purely yoga and just one chap who hosts a chat on the meaning of life every day for an hour in the library. There are no special therapists or healers and the daily schedule is non existent if you are not into yoga. The occupancy was really low when I was there, between a dozen and twenty people and they had let the 'talker table' I set up for them last year just go. Chiva Som usually has loads of interesting guests, their talker table and the way they enable people on their own to mix together is great they really have that cracked. Their activity programme is full and interesting and they have a daily aqua class. There are probably a dozen trainers attached to the gym at CS and only one at Shanti.

My holiday was absolutely amazing! I did not want to leave....I would have taken a job washing dishes there if it meant I could have stayed longer.
Holiday is an understatement for what I experienced at the Shanti Ananda Maurice - it was a life changing experience. Â I took full advantage of the lectures, yoga and cooking classes - combined with the amazing treatments and wonderful food it made for a total overhaul of my mind, body and spirit. The principles of Ayurveda and Vedanta are so inspiring - I've brought many of them home with me. I don't think I will ever settle for a 2 handed massage again!
There is absolutely nothing that I could say that would have improved my holiday - other than making it more affordable for single travellers! It is definitely not a holiday for those looking to be busy, active and social...but perfect for those of us who love going to bed at 10 and waking up at 5 to reflect and prepare for the day ahead.
My next holiday will definitely be to the Ananda in the Himalayas.
