Valentine’s Day made easy with Royal Palm Hotel

February is the month of love and with Valentine’s Day right around the corner, you may be feeling the pressure of finding something spectacular to do for your partner if you haven’t made plans already. Instead of the traditional red roses and chocolates, why not treat him or her to a night out in the city at Royal Palm Hotel.

The hotel may be located in a lively vicinity, but once you’re inside you’ll be amazed at how secluded you feel – making it the perfect setting for a romantic night. Even better still, is that the location of the Hotel allows for a pre-dinner romantic walk on the beach or in the nearby Chris Saunders Park, to set the tone for an evening of romance.

Enjoy a delicious set dinner at the Thyme@Royal Palm restaurant with a range of meals that offer comfort food with a gourmet twist. Items on offer include starters of sweet and spicy tempura prawns or a smoked chicken and avocado salad; mains including Creamy penne pasta, a stuffed chicken roulade, herb crusted lamb chops or dorado served with pea mash. Prices start from R450 per person.

Desserts on offer to share or indulge in on your own range from red velvet cake served with ice cream or a chocolate lava cake served with ice cream.

After your food has settled after a night of wining, dining and good conversation, retreat to one of the executive suites for a tranquil night before heading back home.  Bookings are essential.  Contact Royal Palm today on 031 581 8000 or email reserve@royal-palm.co.za and make your booking today.

Valentine’s Day – 14 February 2020

Valentines month couples massage provides benefits to relationships

If you’re looking for a way to strengthen your relationship or simply trying to find time to spend together doing something where daily stresses and the hum drum and mundane can’t intrude, why not book a couples’ massage at the Granny Mouse Spa? This is a super relaxing way for you to reconnect with the person you love most and to, quite literally, let your hair down and chill together.

Just in case you need some persuading (which you probably won’t), here are some of the relationship benefits of enjoying a massage as a couple:

  • Spending time together: Most couples struggle with making time in their busy schedules to spend quality time together. Often our days are noisy and stressed and we fly past each other before collapsing into bed and passing out. If that’s you, a massage can help you spend quiet time together whilst relaxing and reconnecting.
  • Do something new: Couples, who experience new things together, such as massages, can potentially bond more with each other and encourage more rewarding connections. Doing things together is key to a long and happy relationship.
  • Enjoying the present. We tend to get bogged down by thoughts of the past and tend to get stressed about the uncertainties of the future. When having a massage, you can clear your mind of all the clutter and just focus on the present. Believe it or not, studies have proven that massage helps people to let go of the past and worries about the future and turn their attention to the present moment. Without all that extra baggage, you can simply reconnect and enjoy what brought you together in the first place.
  • Increasing affection: Massage increases feelings of affection and intimacy by releasing oxytocin, serotonin and dopamine in the body, helping couples feel connected and happy both during the massage session and after.

At Granny Mouse Spa, we have the perfect couple’s package that includes more than just a massage. You can enjoy this with your loved one in the privacy of our couples’ room. The package lasts for 2hrs 30 minutes and includes a couple’s hydro bath session, Swedish full body massage, Thalgo classic facial and a glass of champagne.
