At Rifumo Boutique Spa, we believe that true wellness goes beyond beauty treatments and relaxation. It is about creating a space where people can pause, breathe, restore, and reconnect with themselves.
Rifumo Boutique Spa was founded by Antoinette Khensani Sithole, a passionate wellness entrepreneur with a vision to create a sanctuary where luxury meets intentional care.
Antoinette's journey in the beauty and wellness industry began at the prestigious Face to Face Beauty and Make-Up Design School, where she obtained her Diploma in Health and Skin Care Therapy.
Driven by a commitment to excellence and continuous learning, she furthered her training through internationally recognised programmes, including Elemis Face and Body Sensation training through Steiner Academy in Cape Town.
Her passion for wellness later took her beyond South Africa, where she worked internationally as a Spa Therapist with Steiner Cruise Lines in the United States. This invaluable experience exposed her to world-class spa operations, luxury hospitality standards, customer service excellence, and wellness practices from around the globe.
Our approach is holistic and intentional. We understand that every guest arrives with unique needs — whether seeking relaxation, healing, rejuvenation, confidence, or simply a moment of peace in a busy world.
This understanding inspires our personalised treatments, our signature wellness experiences, and our commitment to creating a sanctuary where every guest feels seen, valued, and cared for.
One of the cornerstones of the Rifumo experience is The Rifumo Ritual™ — a mindful welcome experience designed to encourage presence, stillness, and connection before every treatment begins.
"Because true wellness begins from within."
