Singita, a name synonymous with iconic game reserves throughout Africa, has re-envisioned its signature Boulders Lodge in the Sabi Sand with a multi-million dollar renovation.
The property has moved its 12 privately spaced guest suites closer to the river, under sweeping ebony and weeping boer bean trees.
Communal spaces, such as the new sociable Copper Bar and outdoor dining pavilion with views of the Sand River.
Raw timber decks of varying sizes are suspended above the ground, creating intimate spaces for private dining and relaxation close to the pool. Light comes from clusters of nest-shaped woven lampshades, a central fireplace creates an inviting, focal point and cascading water adds a reflective, cooling quality.
Throughout the lodge, pared-down interiors in a palette of charcoal, chalk, bone, rust, copper and ochre bring out the original colors of Singita Boulders, and reflect the four elements of earth, fire, air and water. Dramatic sculptural shapes, abstract art, and carefully curated from nature and other found objects show a deeper connection with the wild and creating a sense that everything has been derived from the earth. Rustic and worn furnishings include iconic pieces fashioned from fossilized tree stumps, slabs of solid stone, artisanal wrought iron and leather, each element designed to reveal its intrinsic beauty.
We can’t wait to plan a visit.
