Moving through March: Intentional travel that matches your rhythm

Let movement carry you through the month of March as you listen carefully to your body and that inner voice that tells you in which direction it wants to go. Do you feel drawn to a forest meander or a thrilling game drive?

When packaged travel trends don’t quite meet your preference, Newmark Hotels & Reserves will always have something that aligns with just the way you are feeling. In each of our curated stays, you will find a bespoke travel style complete with unique experiences and backdrops that take your breath away.

Action-Packed Travel – Without the Pressure

No pressure to perform, look good or compete for any prizes here. Just pure adrenaline-boosting, physically stimulating active travel for those inclined to move at an upbeat pace.

You might want to feel the quickening pulse of an inner city hub like Johannesburg or Lagos, or perhaps it’s the dance floor that pulls you in for an unforgettable night of cocktails and ocean energy at Mystik Lifestyle Boutique Hotel in Mauritius. What else can you do but go with the flow?

For travel drizzled with a little high action, look no further than Newmark Hotels & Reserves for everything from game drives to helicopter rides over Victoria Falls. Indulge in watersports or snorkelling in Mauritius, or head into the wild for gorilla trekking when you stay at Gorilla Heights Lodge in Uganda. For the action seekers and travellers on a mission, there is plenty to look forward to.

Walking Cities vs Driving Cities

Cities have a way of keeping us moving in the best of ways. Take a quick ride over to the cafe, pilates class or hop on a people mover, and you’re at your favourite boutique. Newmark Hotels & Reserves has positioned our inner-city hotels to give guests the best of all city highs, from foodie hot spots to the best sunsets.

For walking city travel, Cape Town promises some of the most stunning destinations. Our Foreshore hotel, The Onyx, is in a prime location that gives guests easy access to the city. Stay in an apartment-style hotel and take a cool evening walk to the nearest restaurant for dinner. Or stay at The Winchester Hotel and stroll along the Sea Point Promenade for mountain views and fresh air. It is a pace your body instinctively understands.

Then, if business calls you to Sandton, or if you simply crave a romantic stay for two, The Catalyst Hotel in Johannesburg has all the trimmings you could ask for. From understated elegance to star-rated hospitality and award-winning chefs, there is plenty to match your travel rhythm. The Catalyst is a short drive away from the CBD and the Gautrain station, so you never have to miss a beat.

Curated Trips that Dance to Your Tune

One of the hallmark attractions of Newmark Hotels & Reserves is the hyper-personalisation. No two properties are the same – each one perfectly aligning to a different personality, travel style and mood.

If you yearn to swim in the ocean and feel the cool water awaken every pore in your body, we invite you to La Maison D’Été for a Mauritian island getaway or Chuini Zanzibar Beach Lodge for exotic water escapades in Tanzania. Dip into culinary perfection on the spice island and you can’t go wrong.

Turn down the dial and take a slow wander through the wilderness on a walking safari at Motswari Private Game Reserve in the heart of Timbavati. Here, amidst the lush trees, the ground beneath your feet and the sound of birds above you, the rhythm of nature becomes your own – unhurried, grounded and quietly immersive. Stay at the homely Geiger's Camp and learn about the family history in conservation on this vast patch of South African safari soil.

Women-Led Travel Experiences

Women move through life to their own rhythm, and March offers the perfect moment to honour that. Celebrate at a luxurious destination in the Newmark Hotels & Reserves portfolio. Try a Safari Escape at BABOHI, an adults-only lodge on QWABI Private Game Reserve for maximum relaxation in an opulent setting. Bush air, Big 5 and spa treatments topped with modern dining make this a highlight for her.

Stillness and Movement: You Set Your Own Pace

Future Found Sanctuary in Cape Town is Newmark’s regenerative destination for the discerning traveller. If you imagine a mindful escape with farm-to-table dining, whole-body experiences and tranquil gardens, this is your place to be.

Tucked into Table Mountain's grand slopes, this is a hotel with a difference, offering meditation, yoga, Tai-Chi and other wellness practices, allowing you to breathe, be still and take it all in. Move gently through the healing gardens, unwind at the gym or stay in for some journaling in a well-appointed loft room.

Find your rhythm this March. Book your stay with Newmark Hotels & Reserves and experience travel that moves with you, not against you.
