Where Wilderness
Restores the Soul

Set in the wild beauty of the Eastern Cape, Mantis Hiddn in Addo is a rare luxury retreat for guests seeking privacy, presence, and a deep connection to nature and oneself. Hiddn is an intimate, design-forward sanctuary where wellness is embedded into every moment, guiding guests through personalised rituals, and immersive therapies.

Cuisine is seasonal, nourishing, and crafted to support well-being, while curated experiences, from Addo Elephant National Park safaris to mindful on-property activities, encourage exploration and reflection.

Architecture and interiors harmonise with the landscape, using natural, sustainable materials to create quiet, restorative spaces. Luxury here is thoughtful, discreet, and personal, with conservation and sustainability at the heart of the retreat. Hiddn offers space, stillness, and intention, allowing guests to reconnect with themselves, the environment, and what truly matters, delivering a rare balance of comfort, mindfulness, and elevated, experiential travel.

EmbraceThe Calm
of your escape

Wellness at Hiddn is not a schedule or set menu of treatments. It is the essence of the guest experience, embedded in the pace of each day, the stillness of the setting, and the way the retreat is designed to make guests feel. Created for travellers seeking restoration, clarity, and reconnection, wellness is offered through meaningful rituals rather than rigid programming.

Each stay is shaped around intention. Guests are welcomed with personalised moments and intention-setting rituals, creating space to define what they wish to gain from their time, whether deep rest, emotional reset, renewed energy, or creative expression. From there, the team curates a wellness journey aligned to each guest’s preferences and pace.

Offerings include meditation, breathwork, and grounding experiences in nature, alongside therapies that calm the nervous system, sound and art experiences that invite reflection, and spa rituals designed to soothe and re-energise. Every element feels elevated yet approachable. Our philosophy is simple. Wellness should feel personal, not prescriptive, allowing guests to experience genuine renewal.

Voices of Hiddn

Luxury That Restores

Hiddn gave us something we didn’t know we were missing. The stillness of the mountains and the privacy of our suite created space to breathe again. Every moment felt thoughtful, from sunrise coffees on the deck to evenings under the stars. It was a rare chance to slow down and feel part of the landscape. We left grounded and grateful.

Hiddn is unlike anywhere we have stayed. The views stretch endlessly and the quiet is transformative. Wellness sessions on our private deck helped us pause in a way that felt natural and restorative. The blend of comfort and wildness created an experience that felt both grounding and inspiring. We cannot wait to return.

— Sean B.

From the moment we arrived, Hiddn felt intentional. Our host shaped each day around what we needed, whether it was exploring the reserve, enjoying a KolKol soak or simply watching the valley change with the light. The food, the people and the landscape worked together in a way that felt effortless and meaningful.

— Tanya K.

Hiddn brought a kind of quiet clarity we had been craving. The landscape encourages reflection and the wellness experiences felt personal and grounding. Even time spent in the suite became part of the journey, with soft light, warm textures and complete privacy. It is a place that helps you return to yourself.

— Jess R.

Hiddn is the definition of mindful luxury. The silence, the views and the sense of seclusion made the experience deeply restorative. We spent hours unwinding in our private outdoor bath and watching the changing colours of the valley. It felt like stepping into a world designed for pure well-being.
