Strictly for romantic couples, this lodge and authentic Thai spa is unparalleled in SA - and I think I've been to most of SAs top spots. Its hard to recall all the occasions we had to say "wow, what thought" but here are a few that I hope illustrates the incredible attention to detail; we were enjoying the fireplace, and... More

This is the best place for relaxation, even though we were there for a working session, we found time to go down to the beach, there is a deck where you can just sit and view the beach activity below you without disturbing nature and its goings-on, and its amazing, especially at sunset. The beach itself feels private even if... More

Immediately after being warmly welcomed by the owners, and management team, I felt an unbelievable sense of peace.The gorgeous surroundings inside and out, and the perfect service, were absolute heaven. The extensive grounds have been restored over a period of 30 years with beautifully maintained indigenous plants, to create gardens of beauty, that not only please the eye, but give... More

This was our fourth visit and amazingly it was even better than before! From the warm and genuine welcome, to the sad farewell, we experienced 4 days of bliss. The setting is magnificent, the facilities world class (and we have lots of international travel to compare it to), the meals superb and the service personal yet professional. We must say... More

During our most recent visit to South Africa visited the Wild Coast for the first time, and after some research decided to stay at Prana Lodge in Chintsa. This is a beautiful area and the lodge is set in extensive grounds with direct access to the beach, the site has been tastefully and sensitively developed to a high standard, and... More

Prana Lodge is an idyllic destination. The service is top class, the boutique suites are exquitsite. This must go on your "bucket list"! You have not experienced luxury until you have been to Prana Lodge! Prana Lodge is better than a 5 star destination! Can't wait to go back.

Prana Lodge was the only Spa I could find listed on the internet and based in East London South Africa. Needless to say I was very nervous - I have too often been lured by a picture taken with good lighting only to find the accommodation resembling scenes from a horror story!! What A Treat!!! Tucked into the natural vegetation... More

My wife and I loved our stay at Prana Lodge. The tranquil settings and friendly staff added to the luxuary accommodation and gorgeous meals. The wellness centre was equally fantastic. A "Necker Island" experience right in the Eastern Cape. Recommended without hesitation.

Don't look any further. This is the ultimatum of luxury and comfort. The owners, Tim and Gail Davidson, certainly know how to spoil their guests! The suites are beautiful, the food and service is unbeatable. The endless beaches of the Wild Coast are also unique. We enjoyed our stay inmensely and will certain come back. Linge and Harry Kuiper
