The Vivari Hotel and Spa by Mantis is a lush oasis tucked away on an expansive estate north of Sandton, Johannesburg. Offering a bespoke range of treatments in a discrete, luxury settling, and access to leading airports and a variety of transport links, it hosts guests from South Africa, Africa, and the rest of the world.
Vivari Hotel and Spa: A Medical Tourist Destination
Vivari is a first for Africa, a concept aligned with the latest global beauty and wellness trends. It features an on-site luxury hotel, a spa, a non-invasive aesthetic center, and a surgical facility focusing on cosmetic surgery, fully accredited by the South African Department of Health.
Vivari Aesthetics has a team of specialist surgeons with expertise in a full range of cosmetic surgical procedures, including breast augmentation, mommy makeovers, mini tummy tucks, vaginal tightening, Vaser liposculpture and Brazilian butt lifts.
Recuperating patients can stay in a luxurious deluxe suite on site, complete with specialized ergonomic beds, which help to reduce swelling. Large bathrooms with showers, a spacious lounge, and an outside balcony offer a very comfortable stay.
A beautiful getaway
While I didn’t undergo any procedures, I got to experience a little of what it’s like to spend a night at the venue. With or without aesthetic or medical procedures, it’s a real treat.
I enjoyed a complimentary mini-bar fridge and a Nespresso machine. After changing into a complimentary gown and slippers, I settled onto a king-size bed with soft bedding. I then took full advantage of the large-screen smart TV set up with Netflix and Prime Video.
The food on site is fantastic. At the Brambles Restaurant, you can find a range of choices for many tastes and needs, including an ethically sourced and nutritious breakfast. The meal was served by welcoming and warm waiters, whose smiles matched the ones on my face.
Altogether, I had a very peaceful, private, and pleasant experience.
Recuperating patients
If you’re staying after surgery, there are 24-hour medical support, as well as post-operative support services. These include:
- Oxygen and IV fluid administration
- hyperbaric oxygen therapy to aid healing
- lymphatic drainage massage to reduce swelling
- IV nutritional therapy containing vitamin C, zinc, and selenium to aid recuperation
Vivari Hotel and Spa will even provide after-recovery, safe transportation back to your home within the greater Johannesburg area if required.
With 48 rooms and suites, the hotel offers a resort-like feel immersed in holistic health and wellness.
Bottom line
Are you looking to pop in for a non-invasive treatment? Or maybe you need some time at the spa to enjoy a delicious lunch? Or are you opting for a full surgical procedure and post-recovery? Nonetheless, whatever you’re looking for, this oasis offers something for everyone. You’ll enjoy peace and privacy, and a unique experience.
