Our Heritage
Where ancient
wisdom heals.
The Royal Thai Gardens was founded on a single belief: that true wellness is not a luxury — it is a return to balance.
The culmination of Irene and Jeff Esterhuizen’s unwavering dedication and heartfelt passion – just as their own love story unfolded in the beautiful landscapes of Thailand, so too has The Royal Thai Gardens become a serene sanctuary in the heart of Port Elizabeth.
Irene’s decision to follow her heart and join Jeff in South Africa led them to pursue their dream of bringing the essence of authentic Thai Massage to this city. The result? The Royal Thai Gardens Massage and Spa, a haven that transports you straight to Thailand.
The spa’s breathtaking gardens, meticulously tended to by Irene and Jeff, serve as a harmonious backdrop for the tranquil oasis they have created. The presence of graceful koi fish further contributes to the peaceful atmosphere, making this hidden gem a coveted escape for those seeking a break from the hustle and bustle.
With secure parking and serene treatment rooms, our guests can fully immerse themselves in a world of relaxation and indulgence. Visit us and discover the true essence of rejuvenation at The Royal Thai Gardens Massage and Spa. It’s more than a massage; it’s an experience.

I have travelled to Thailand so many times, and this is by far the most authentic experience in South Africa. The facility is beautiful, and complimented with the most beautiful décor. Anyone is guaranteed a good experience when visiting The Royal Thai Gardens in Port Elizabeth.
