Skin Care

The modern emphasis on self-care and holistic wellness has led to skincare practices that go beyond surface-level treatments.

The integration of relaxation techniques and the promotion of overall health contributes to a rejuvenating experience that extends beyond the immediate benefits to the skin.

At The Hydro, we offer a wide variety of therapies specially formulated to treat all skin types and conditions.

We only recommend a specific process once we have made a thorough assessment and given you an informed opinion as to how to achieve the best result.

Freshness on Your Plate

We believe in promoting healthy eating practices from the ground up. Our commitment to fostering a culture of wellness extends beyond the confines of our kitchen to The Hydro produce garden.

Here, we cultivate a vibrant assortment of vegetables, herbs, spices and flowers, creating a living classroom for our guests to explore and learn from. By immersing themselves in this hands-on experience, our guests gain a deeper understanding of the connection between the food they consume, their overall health and the well-being of the ecosystem.

Our holistic approach inspires appreciation for oneself and the planet.

What's Good for You

From the Hydro’s beginning, we have understood that food has healing properties beyond just providing nourishment. Each bite we take could potentially be a form of medicine, supplying our bodies with essential nutrients that can benefit various bodily functions.

Packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, nutrient-rich foods have the ability to decrease inflammation, enhance the immune system and potentially lower the chances of developing chronic illnesses.

 

By embracing the concept of food as medicine, we nourish our bodies and improve our health, vitality and longevity.

 

Seasonal Freshness

Freshness plays a key role in maximising the nutritional benefits of whole foods. When we consume fruits and vegetables that are in season, we enjoy their peak flavour, reap optimum vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.

The vibrant colours and fragrant aromas of seasonal produce are a testament to their nutrient density and medicinal value.

Eating a variety of in-season whole foods allows us to nourish our bodies with a diverse array of nutrients that support our immune systems, promote healthy digestion, and protect us against chronic diseases.

Our Origins

The Hydro was founded by Cleto Saporetti in 1972 on High Rustenberg farm as a Natural Healing resort based on the ‘Nature Cure’ philosophy, emphasizing self-healing in the right environment.Boris Chaitow implemented a strict regime, including controlled fasting and a mainly raw vegetarian foods diet. Guests received daily massages, hydrotherapy, and osteopathic manipulation, along with exercise and relaxation.

They left feeling lighter, energized and revitalized.

The Hydro attracted guests from South Africa and Europe, who often booked in advance to be with their friends. Returning guests felt like part of the family, showing that some things at The Hydro have never changed.
