Lowie serves his 3 course gourmet meals in your suite where the table has been set under the breathtaking African star lit sky.

Eco-friendly

Abloom looks after the planet. All products used in the suites and the spa are produced in South Africa and are eco-friendly. The spa does not use disposables and our water is of a good quality so we invite you to drink directly from the tap instead of the bottle! In our kitchen we pride ourselves in the use of as manny organic ingredients as possible. When building our suites we used local and recycled materials, eco-friendly cement, rocks from the farm en local builders. We save up to 10% electricity by using laptops instead of desktops and our dream is to one day go off the grid completely!
