Lining up to rival some of the world’s leading medical spas with its confluence of advanced aesthetic treatments, luxury facilities and expert practitioners, Terre Paisible Medical Rejuvenation & Spa in the Franschhoek Valley promises the ultimate nurturing retreat and sensory reset for guests.
True to its name, which means ‘Peaceful Land’, Terre Paisible is serenely tucked away between olive groves and vineyards on a working boutique farm in Franschhoek, home to their award-winning collection of terroir-driven fine wines and extra virgin olive oils. Absolute privacy and deep relaxation are essential underpinnings to the world-class treatments available.
“Our treatment programmes are expertly curated to offer complete revitalisation at a cellular level, extending beyond aesthetic enhancement to include metabolic and hormonal enhancement, as well as compensating for imbalanced genetic characteristics,” says Shirley van Wyk, Terre Paisible’s Managing Director. “Through the combination of advanced medical aesthetics with personalised wellness regimens and the uplifting experience of being in a beautiful, calming location, guests will feel restored to their best self.”
Meticulous diagnosis is the foundation of the bespoke treatment plans devised for guests by TPMRS’s rigorously trained team of medical professionals and experienced therapists. London-based functional medicine practitioner Tania Malan – founder of the ‘Raw to Roar’ movement – serves as a consultant to help discern a full picture of hormonal to gut biome health. Various diagnostic technologies are employed and customised supplement plans devised to ensure each individual wellness journey is unique.
Leading the advanced aesthetics team is Dr. Marle le Roux, a trusted name in the field of cosmetic medicine and therapeutics, who provides treatment with the cutting-edge Ultherapy™, considered the global gold standard in non-surgical skin lifting and tightening. It joins other safe, highly effective, FDA-approved therapies such as the Emerald™ Laser, a revolutionary full-body fat loss treatment, currently exclusively offered at TPMRS. All treatments aim for minimal downtime and provide almost immediate refreshment, and can be augmented with other feel-good spa treatments using the clinically approved Biologique Recherche and certified organic Esse Microbiome Skincare. Significantly, guests can continue with their advanced aesthetic treatment programmes at associated medical spas around the world in line with TPMRS’s collaborative international footprint.
Therapies are provided in eight treatment rooms, which include two ultra-discreet suites with separate access. With the release from the outside world comes an invitation to surrender to full sensory immersion, starting with a grounding sound bath ritual through to the powerful Solfeggio vibrations of the soothing music. This continues post-treatment, with indulgent hydrotherapy, a sauna, and steam room available.
The wellness centre was designed with interior architects Tristan du Plessis Studio taking care of the immaculately conceived spaces within. A considered use of screens lends a subtle play of light and shadow to the architecture while creating a series of secluded spaces for rest or meditation, both indoors and out. Guests can also unwind and dine poolside or in the comfort of the enclosed terrace.
Every detail of the design and sensory experience at TPMRS is a celebration of natural wellness, a reference to the farm’s plenitude and the rejuvenating environment of this luxurious retreat. In the bountiful spirit of Terre Paisible, a sparkling toast to one’s health, wellbeing, and looking and feeling one’s vital best.
