One&Only's new spa is ‘out of this world'
With the new décor taking its cue from the Southern Cross constellation (look up and you'll see it in the skies above Cape Town year-round), the revamped spa guides guests on a journey of inner alignment and outer luxury. Think a soft palette of greys and blues complemented by star-like light installations twinkling overhead. This is a place to turn up, tune in, and bliss out.
The new look is courtesy of design studio Muza Lab, the same crew who were behind the fabulous rethink of the One&Only Hotel's main restaurant, ROOI. Slip into the mood in the serene reception space, which now features a striking rope installation by design duo John-Henry and Mimi Roberts of Kent and Lane. Copper constellation lighting drives home the starry theme, while multi-textured walls lend the treatment rooms a quiet magic. Over in the vitality pools, look up: the ceiling is a galaxy of soft, glowing stars.
Beyond the beauty, the spa still delivers serious substance. There are 13 treatment suites, a Relax Room, thermal suites for all genders, and two pools designed to help you fully unplug. Product-wise, expect the best: ESPA, Biologique Recherche, and Bastien Gonzalez all make an appearance on the treatment menu.
About that spa menu: as you'd expect, the One&Only Spa is a premium spa option in Cape Town, with prices to match. A 60-minute One&Only Bespoke Facial will set you back R1870, while an hour-long One&Only Inner Calm Massage costs R1770. Fans of the spa will be happy to hear that the famed Bastien pedicures remain, with a 60-minute pedi priced at R1070.
For something extra special, book the new once-a-month Full Moon Menu. This lunar-inspired experience is more ritual than treatment, beginning with a sound bowl ceremony at dusk and unfolding through chakra balancing, meditation, and bodywork aligned with the moon's phases. You can even choose from three themed treatments: Empowerment (for new beginnings), Harmonising (for reflection and peace), or Stardust Sole (for release and renewal).

Emmerdale star Lawrence Robb breaks silence on Mack death scenes
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Emmerdale star Lawrence Robb has spoken out about his upcoming on-screen death. Metro revealed last week that killer John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth) will claim his next victim – Mackenzie Boyd – in upcoming scenes. John, as viewers know, has somewhat of a hero complex, swooping in last minute to play the saviour after endangering the lives of several villagers. From spiking Chas Dingle (Lucy Pargeter) to setting Ella Forster (Paula Lane) up, it doesn't seem like he's about to stop anytime soon. That's without mentioning the murder of Nate Robinson (Jurell Carter), who died before John could play the hero. A source told us: 'The John story has so many twists and turns to come and this will come as a genuine surprise to fans. 'Mack has survived quite a lot over the years but his time is well and truly up this time. 'What his exit does is set the stage for an exciting next stage to John's saga later in the autumn that will leave fans quite literally on edge.' Now actor Lawrence has been put in a difficult position about the upcoming story when questioned by the Loose Women panellists. When appearing on the ITV daytime show today to talk about the ongoing surrogacy storyline – that has seen Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins) decide to be a surrogate for granddaughter Sarah Sugden (Katie Hill) – the awkward matter of his upcoming exit was addressed. 'I don't want to put you on the spot, but I'm going to,' asked Jane Moore. 'There's lots of rumours that Mack might be getting killed off.' Lawrence, visibly squirming, replied: 'Yeah, there are lots of rumours. And rumours they shall remain.' Quick thinking – though Denise Welch didn't look too convinced. Co-host Coleen Nolan then chimed in, asking: 'If that was the case, I'm not saying it is or it isn't, [but] do they discuss that with you straight away or about a month before it's happening?' 'It's never brutal,' he replied, being extremely cautious about his wording. 'I've always said, being in the show, I never want to be too prescriptive with it. 'I've always enjoyed doing what I'm doing. Ultimately if and when, – if, when – the time for Mack to leave comes, whether that be my choice or the writer-producers, I'll be thankful for the time that I've had.' He concluded: 'Ultimately, nobody is safe in the show. It's most dangerous village in the country.' Anchor Christine Lampard then stepped up to offer a much needed reprieve from the interrogation, introducing a clip from an upcoming episode. Mack made his debut five years ago when he turned up at Butlers Farm as the long-lost younger sibling of Moira Dingle (Natalie J Robb). Want to be the first to hear shocking EastEnders spoilers?

He also swiftly embarked on a relationship with Charity, who was seeing Vanessa Woodfield (Michelle Hardwick) at the time of their one night stand. More Trending In the years since, Mack has been at the centre of numerous stories, including a one night stand with Chloe Harris, which led to the birth of his son Reuben. The storyline led to Charity and Mack splitting up but ultimately they found their way back to one another and have been happy in the years since, but it seems it could all be set to end in tragedy if John does in fact kill Mack.

Emmerdale fans 'work out' who gets framed for Mack's 'death' in sick revenge
Emmerdale viewers fear a character is going to be set up for the reported murder of Mackenzie Boyd amid claims the character will bow out of the ITV soap at the hands of John Sugden With a murder said to be looming on Emmerdale, fans believe a character could be framed for the horrific crime in a sickening revenge twist. Reports have emerged that John Sugden is about to claim his next and possibly final victim, and now fans think someone else will be blamed. John has so far gotten away with murdering Nate Robinson, injuring Aidan Moore and orchestrating a string of other incidents to play the hero. Now it's claimed Mackenzie Boyd will be killed off in a brutal new twist. It comes as reports stated actor Lawrence Robb was bowing out of the ITV soap after five years, as part of a twist involving killer John. According to the rumours, Mack will rumble John's crimes and it will lead to Mack's gruesome death. But will it be poor Robert Sugden left to face punishment for the crime amid his feud with his villainous brother John? John has made it abundantly clear he wants Robert out of the way, deliberately targeting him and this is only set to continue. Amid spoilers revealing Robert and ex Aaron Dingle grow closer, sparking affair predictions, we will see Aaron's husband John desperate to keep the pair apart. So how far will he go to get rid of his brother, and could it see Robert sent back to prison? Robert was released earlier this year after six years inside over the death of Lee Posner. Fans are now concerned that if Mack is killed off, John will cover his tracks and pin it all on Robert to get him locked up yet again. One fan posted on social media: "John better not frame Robert for Mack's murder." Another viewer said: "He'll probably frame Robert and Aaron carries on being blind until next spring." It comes as actor Lawrence addressed the rumoured exit for the first time on Loose Women on Wednesday. He said: "There are lots of rumours, and rumours they shall remain", before adding: "I've always said that being in the show that I never want to be too prescriptive with it. " But when asked how he would feel about being killed off, he admitted that he would always feel grateful for the time he's had on the show, as he issued a warning to fans. He said: "I've always enjoyed doing what I'm doing. If, and when, the time to leave comes, whether that would be my choice or the choice of the producers, then I will be thankful for the time that I've had. Ultimately, no one is safe in the show", before quipping: "Especially not in that village!" On the future for Mack amid a row with his wife Charity Dingle and the stuff with John, Lawrence recently remained coy but did hint at bad things ahead. He simply said: "It's not looking good." Lawrence went on: "Whilst Mackenzie has got the argument with Charity on his plate, he's also got a pretty critical moment with John on his plate as well. And, combine these two things and it does not spell good things."
