Wellness Tips

Make the most of your wellness experience.

💆

Advance booking is essential for hotel spa services as capacity is limited and demand from the expat and diplomatic community is high

💆

Drink only bottled water throughout your wellness activities — Juba's tap water is not safe for consumption

💆

Early morning exercise is recommended (6-8 AM) before temperatures rise; avoid outdoor physical activity 11 AM-4 PM in dry season

💆

All major hotels have swimming pools that provide safe, clean relaxation — check pool access hours before planning

💆

Consider bringing your own yoga mat and wellness supplies from home as local availability is very limited

💆

Many Juba wellness services are housed in hotel compounds which also provide security, making them the safest locations for relaxation
