Lining up to rival some of the world’s leading medical spas, Terre Paisible Medical Rejuvenation & Spa in the tranquil surrounds of the Franschhoek Valley offers its guests a journey to optimal wellbeing and vitality.

Terre Paisible means ‘peaceful land’ and its spa promises the ultimate nurturing retreat and sensory reset a mere 50-minute drive from Cape Town. Tucked between olive groves and vineyards on a working boutique farm, you can find absolute privacy and deep relaxation as well as world-class rejuvenation treatments.
Shirley van Wyk, Terre Paisible’s managing director, says, ‘Through the combination of advanced medical aesthetics, personalised wellness regimens and the uplifting experience of being in a beautiful, calming location, guests can feel restored to their best selves. The treatments we offer are results-driven, and we employ the highest-calibre, FDA-approved devices, therapists and facilities in order to fulfill them. We also perform DUTCH and a multitude of DNA tests to ensure a precision approach to cellular regeneration, giving our guests a glowing new lease of life through the process.’

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 design while creating a series of secluded spaces for rest or meditation, both indoors and out. Guests can also unwind at the pool, positioned to take advantage of the scenery, make use of the sauna or book one of the VIP suites for a full-day immersion.


Every detail of the design and sensory experience is a celebration of natural wellness in all its vibrancy, a reference to the farm’s plenitude and the rejuvenating environment of this luxurious Franschhoek retreat. This is a toast to one’s health and wellbeing, and to looking and feeling one’s vital best.
