We had a wonderful stay. When we were shown the room, we were stunned by how big it was. Every little detail was considered, also in the service provided. Excellent dinners, beautiful breakfast - it was a real treat for us to be there.

Prana Lodge: first visit & definitely not the last. On arrival, the airport transfer arrangements were hospitable. Communication with us upon arrival from the lodge was excellent to ensure that we had met with the correct person at the airport. Warm Welcome from reception. Our rooms were heated on arrival because the weather was cold. Food was delicious, The staff there are so professional & do not constantly bother you. Daily baths were run & prepared for us on. What an Absolutely Amazing, Relaxing & Rejuvenating Experience. The food was fresh however could be a bit more flavorful. The beach access was quite a hike, we would have appreciated an easier access point or approach. The Lodge, The Staff, The facilities, The Spa experience, The Rooms & Overall Service were all Excellent …

Hi Ktholo, Wow, what a splendid review. Thank you so much for taking time to write us this lovely review. It was great having you with us. I truly appreciate your kind words and will be sure to share the sentiment with the team. The whole experience is carefully curated, and we try our best to ensure that each guests leaves the lodge relaxed and rejuvenated. I am so glad that this was truly evident and resulted in an unforgettable experience that we look forward to repeating upon your return. Regarding your dining experience, your feedback about food flavor has been shared with the culinary team. We are exploring the option of what can be done about our beach stairs but have environmental constraints regarding building on dunes. Hopefully we will find a solution. Thank you for your valuable feedback, and we appreciate your support. We look forward to welcoming you back soon. With Love The Prana Team!

Wifey and I only stayed for one night, but we left rejuvenated, refreshed and relaxed. From the time you enter the lodge, you experience opulence. The staff is a class above the rest, including the General manager. Money well spent.

From the minute we arrived till we drive out the gate, our short stay at Prana was exceptional in all aspects! The turquoise suite was spacious and stylish, the food was exceptional and perfectly presented. The wellness centre was luxurious and such a spoil! The breakfast overlooking the sea was so relaxing. Small attention to detail make this place special together with the staff that all go out of their way! The only tiny gripe is the access to the beach…the stairs could be extended to reach the beach. I would definitely return…just for longer! Thank you for my birthday spoil!

This was my 2nd visit to Prana Lodge and my experience exceeded my expectations by far. Located on one of the most beautiful beaches in South Africa, Prana is a haven of tranquility. The staff could not be more attentive and interested in ensuring their guests have a good experience. I extended my stay from 3 to 7 nights, I think that says it all …

Prana is beautiful. The grounds are sublime, as we were driving past the gate we had to stop because a monkey Mum made us wait for her baby to cross the path. Walking the grounds you see and hear Life, the most amazing birds and songs serenade your journey. The food is excellent, the staff is friendly, competent , and professional. I highly recommend Prana for a relaxing, Zen getaway.
