The hotel
Set in one of the most beautiful destinations in the world, the hotel is located on a pristine white-sand beach in the Kommetjie, just south of Cape Town. There are just six luxurious rooms with patios decorated in calming blues with hand-painted fabrics and gorgeous furnishings that complement the coastal setting. Breakfast is available and lunch and dinner can be arranged but you are free to explore the culinary delights of the area and the gastronomic delights of Cape Town.
What to do
Keen fishers can catch their own lobsters or you can ride a horse along the sand. Take a tour of the lighthouse and visit Simonstown, home to a colony of penguins. There are gold courses within easy reach, vineyards that are home to some of the country’s best wines and nature reserves. Further afield, you can take a cable car up Table Mountain to see the stunning views of the Cape or visit Robben Island, notorious as the prison of Nelson Mandela fo18 years. Or simply head for a quiet beach like Beta Beach that’s as good for bathing as it is for sun worshippers.
the last wordGetting there: British Airways and Virgin offer direct flights and many other routes involve a change. Being only a one-hour time difference from the UK, there’s no jetlag! Arrange a transfer from the airport or hire a car.
