The Plettenberg

Poised above one of South Africa’s finest bays, The Plettenberg waits to enfold you in seaside luxury. Spot whales and dolphins in the ocean waves. Swim in the infinity pool, then dine al fresco on sustainably-sourced dishes. While you can relax as much as you want, the beauty of South Africa’s rugged coastline waits just outside to be explored. 

Rooms at The Plettenberg are bright and airy, with floor to ceiling windows and soft blue and aqua tones that echo its marine setting. Opt for an expansive suite for added space and direct pool access, or a private villa for your very own pool. The Plettenberg Restaurant has a contemporary feel and certainly won’t let you go hungry, creating magic from seasonal ingredients. Pre-dinner (or anytime) cocktails are shaken and stirred at the elegant Sandbar. And high tea is quite the occasion – served in the intimate Summer Lounge or out on the terrace with a side of awe-inspiring views.

When you can tear yourself away, the charms of the Garden Route beckon. Stroll down to Lookout Beach, perfect for families with its shallow lagoon. Robberg 5 is popular for swimming, and Keurboomstrand for surfing and long, contemplative walks. See magnificent humpback whales up close on a boat trip – or embrace your inner thrill seeker with a bungee jump or canopy tour.
