Enmasse - Opulent Occidental Massage

A massage experience at the hands of the gods

- enmasse delivers a fully-clothed, oil free deluxe massage experience

In the spirit of all things luxury, ENMASSE invites you to become part of a truly unique de-stressing experience. Enmasse has elevated the massage culture of the East by designing a contemporary western space that immediately soothes your senses and prepares you for an experience like no other. Indeed this seems the case as enmasse has been listed in the “Top 20 Reasons to be in South Africa” by leading British magazine, Wallpaper – an impressive feat for a massage business.



First off the owner, Murray von Hirschberg, explains, “A massage should fit around your day as opposed to fitting your day around a massage.” In that vein the majority of enmasse bookings are made on the day – even catering for walk-in customers. Adding to the convenience ENMASSE only offers dry clothed massages – a choice between Thai, Shiatsu, reflexology and pregnancy.

No oils are used which means a massage between meetings or before dinner is a reality. By eliminating oil you also eliminate the need for nudity: all enmasse massages take place in loose fitting cotton clothing provided by enmasse. von Hirschberg adds, “Don’t think of an oil-style massage without oil: think acupressure - pressure points, palming and stretching in a routine that can be likened to a lazy dance with a muscle whisperer.”



Every aspect of the concept appears to transform what the world has come to expect from a massage experience. Forget the sounds of ‘Pan Pipes Unplugged’ and ‘The Call of the South Right Whale Vol 3’, enmasse has a play list that spans across 10 decades from which it has curated a playlist that redefines what should be heard during a massage. In its quest to make a massage as accessible as possible enmasse offers very lucrative and flexible membership options.

Member massages, like its gift vouchers, are fully transferable, redeemable in Cape Town or Johannesburg and never expire. “After a massage, customers are encouraged to doze off in their massage space for as long as possible. If by then you are not yet ready to face the demands of the outside world you are invited to lie back in the tea lounge and sample one of our 40 exotic tea blends,” concludes von Hirschberg.

Lala Linen

Our 100% pure Egyptian cotton bed linen and bath towels are all imported directly from Egypt, where they are made by the suppliers of the world’s finest Egyptian cotton linens. 

 

 Lala Linen is the only certified carrier of the Egyptian Cotton logo in Southern Africa, which testifies that all products are exclusively made of 100% pure Egyptian cotton.



The heart of our collection is the most exquisite 100% Egyptian linens for bedrooms. Like all our products, they do not contain any cotton blends or synthetic fibres and are created out of nothing but the finest material. EGYPTIAN COTTONTM. With a reputation of being the best cotton in the world, its softness, strength and superior characteristics are what sets Egyptian cotton apart from other natural fabrics.

Smooth

The length of the fibre makes it possible to make the finest of yarns without sacrificing strength. Long fibres also produce less lint and therefore will not pill after repeated washing.

Strength

The strength of the fibre makes the fabric more solid and more resistant to stress and will not lose its shape easily.

Colour

Egyptian cotton’s ability to absorb liquids makes it a wonderful fabric for dying. The colours are deeper, brighter and more resistent.

Quality

Egyptian cotton is handpicked, guaranteeing the highest level of purity. Hand picking puts no stress on the fibres and they remain straight and intact to create one of the softest, finest and longest lasting fabrics in the world. The Egyptian Cotton logo is the Egyptian government’s seal of authenticity and will always appear on Lala Linen products. EGYPTIAN COTTONTM



There is no turning back once you have slept in sheets made of Egyptian cotton, or dried off after a long hot winter bath with our Egyptian cotton bath towels.
Lala Linen’s Egyptian cotton is soft, long lasting, cool in summer and cosy in winter. And, like all other high-quality items, the joy of Egyptian cotton is that it only gets better with age, lasting up to one and a half times longer than any other cotton.

Cape Town’s First Restaurant Week with DiningCity SA

Cape Town’s first Restaurant Week, which will run from 22 to 29 September, was launched with a bang at the Mount Nelson Hotel last Thursday. 

Restaurateurs, celebrity chefs, food bloggers and the media shared Pongracz, oysters and macaroons, whilst listening to an opening address by Mariette du Toit-Helmbold, CEO of Cape Town Tourism. “We are the culinary mecca of Africa,” said Mariette, “and we support projects such as this, which help us compete with some of the world’s best culinary destinations.”

As DiningCity SA, the main sponsor behind the event, also launched its on-line, real time restaurant review and reservation service, Mariette emphasized how important it was to be digitally connected. ”Armed with Smart Phones and iPads, today’s travelers are ‘Digital Nomads’”, exploring a hyper-connected world where, “if we do not get on board, we run the risk of becoming irrelevant and obsolete.”

The concept is simple: guests can enjoy a three course lunch or dinner at the top restaurants for R125 or R200, respectively. Restaurants enjoying a DiningCity star will cost an extra R50.

Guests at the launch also saw a demonstration of how easy it is to book online for restaurant week with DiningCity’s website www.restaurantweek.co.za. Bookings are real-time and all last minute spots will be in a news feed on the site and at www.twitter.com/RSeats
