Set within the gardens, vineyards and art of Leeu Estates, Leeu Spa is a quiet expression of place.

Rooted in presence, craftsmanship and the restorative intelligence of touch, Leeu Spa invites you not to become someone new, but to remember what has always been within.

A fully equipped gym featuring TechnoGym equipment is available for those seeking a more active experience.
