Soulcare Sanctuary & Eco Retreat

A Transformative Destination in Vaalwater, Limpopo

Founder: Omar Botha

Location: Waterberg Biosphere, South Africa

Land Holding: Approx. 7,200 hectares

Project Type: Luxury Eco-Resort, Integrated with Soulcare City

A Message from the Founder

At Soulcare Sanctuary, we believe healing begins with the land. In a world moving too fast, we’ve carved out a sacred space where nature leads, and people remember who they truly are.

This is more than a resort. It’s a regenerative ecosystem—a place where the wild roams free, water is revered as a teacher, food heals, and every structure tells a story of harmony with the Earth.

What you hold in your hands is not just a proposal—it’s an invitation. To build something that echoes through generations. To invest in healing. To align with purpose. To create joy, wellness, and wonder—sustainably.

Thank you for sharing this journey with me. May we co-create something magnificent.

– Omar Botha

Executive Summary

Soulcare Sanctuary is a visionary eco-destination set within the heart of the Waterberg Biosphere in Vaalwater, South Africa. Spanning over 7,000 hectares of pristine bushveld, the project integrates luxury hospitality, regenerative agriculture, spiritual education, and sustainable living into a single, purpose-driven ecosystem.

Anchored by a 5-star eco-hotel, a Big 5 wildlife golf course, and the Love H2O water park, the resort offers guests a transformative experience rooted in nature, wellness, and joy. Every element—from the architecture to the food to the energy systems—is designed to regenerate people and planet.

This proposal outlines the full development plan, land-use framework, sustainability strategy, and investment model for Soulcare Sanctuary. It is an invitation to co-create a legacy of healing, harmony, and holistic prosperity.

Set in the Waterberg Biosphere, the Sanctuary is the heart of Soulcare City, a broader development rooted in healing, affordability, and ecological intelligence. It will host guests, learners, families, and seekers from around the world—those drawn by Big 5 safaris, sustainable food, water wisdom, and the quiet power of Africa’s wild soul.
