Idyllic oasis on the Wild Coast
Prana Lodge, a five-star resort located on the Wild Coast. Located on Chintsa Bay, the lodge offers access to a 21-kilometer-long, pristine private beach. Tucked away in dune forests, Prana Lodge is enclosed by a native garden, with fantastic views of the clear blue Indian Ocean in many places. Each of the eight luxury suites has its own distinct atmosphere: from romantic chic or colorful elegance to soothing harmony with the forested surroundings. There is also a Beach House, a spacious villa with four sleeping quarters. The perfect balance is sought in everything, including the culinary masterpieces with African, Asian and French influences, or the purity of local oysters accompanied by a full-bodied white wine or champagne. Where the world can't find you...
Activities in nature, cultural excursions and wellness
It is great to start the day with a refreshing dip in the pool and a walk along the beach, to the rhythm of the waves. How will you spend the rest of the day? There are very many possibilities, such as golfing at the famous East London Golf Course, horseback riding in the surf, hiking through native bush or on the deserted beach, canoeing, surfing or cultural excursions. The Chintsa area's abundance of birds makes it a true paradise for bird watchers. There are many Xhosa villages in the region that are still authentic and in Mthatha there are three museums dedicated to the life and heritage of Nelson Mandela and to the culture of the Xhosa. Back at the lodge there is every opportunity to relax body and mind: in the Wellness Spa you can choose from shorter but also very extensive treatments. Here, too, everything revolves around harmony and balance.
