February Escapes Designed for Two (But Not Just for Valentine’s)

Two peas in a pod, inseparable lovebirds, yin and yang…You get where this is going. In February, Newmark Hotels & Reserves is setting the mood for the kind of getaway that is best enjoyed in twos, whether it is a romantic couple’s escape, a weekend away with your best friend, or a meaningful pause with your mother or family member.

Here are our recommendations for relaxation topped with premium hospitality.

Indulgence is Better in Twos

The Onyx Hotel Couples Indulgence package invites you to unwind in the understated elegance of an inner-city hotel. Each studio room is fully equipped with a modern kitchenette and premium amenities, meaning you don't even have to leave your room. Dine in decadence, relax with a 60-minute massage with Sanctuary Spa and a 15-minute steam session, and take in each private moment.

Unwind on a Tropical Island

The Island Unwind package at Chuini Zanzibar Beach Lodge gives you and your loved one a chance to unwind in a remote tropical setting with the sound of the waves caressing the shore. Leave your phone on ‘do not disturb’ while you enjoy a massage before turning down in your deluxe garden room for two.

The Catalyst Hotel

The City Stay for Two package at The Catalyst Hotel is valid all year round, making it a worthwhile pin on your holiday planner, even post-Valentine's season. In the heart of a vibrant city, shut out the buzz and focus on what matters most. Find quiet moments, create memories, and relax with your favourite person in the world. This package includes a Deluxe Room, spa experience, romantic turn down, and a dinner voucher to the value of R450 per person.

If Time Could Stop…

Far too often, we lament that time is not on our side, but The Winchester Pause package takes care of this with a couple’s escape in Sea Point, valid until 28 February. Stay in a Classic Room at The Winchester Hotel, with luxurious comfort and artistic details.

Be served breakfast daily, enjoy a couple’s Swedish massage at the hotel’s spa and a romantic turndown. Relax by the pool, take walks on the promenade, or simply stay in to enjoy the sea views. Love lives here at Sea Point – you just have to make the time to find it.

Memories Under the Moon

Finally, the Moonlit Moments package at Nkomazi Private Game Reserve is a beautiful way to bond in the remote wilderness, far from distractions. Accommodation in a deluxe tent gives you unmatched privacy, luxury, and serenity surrounded by tree canopies and the sound of the river birdlife. After your couple’s massage, tuck into a lantern-lit dinner on your deck. Magical.

Double the enjoyment, double the memories. Book a memorable stay for two this February with Newmark Hotels & Reserves.
