The Bay Hotel 

With the Twelve Apostle mountain range towering behind and the white sand of Camps Bay below, you couldn’t ask for a finer location.

In a prime position by the sands of glitzy Camps Bay, The Bay Hotel is a stylish retreat popular with sun-seekers, glamour-hunters and celebrities for its retro glamour. Amazing views out over the water, plenty of space and an abundance of natural light combines with the laid-back atmosphere that permeates the resort to make it the ideal place to simply relax and unwind either before or after your thrilling South Africa adventure.

Set to the backdrop of the Twelve Apostles mountain range, the location is not the only highlight to be found here. There are four pools to choose from, where you can sip on a daiquiri as you watch the world go by. Both the main temperature-controlled pool and solar-heated Sandy B pool ensure comfort in the cooler months, while the cabana pools offer a great people-watching view of the main strip and beach. If you’re looking for tranquillity away from the vibrant strip of Camps Bay, head to the spa for a bit of pampering.

A visit to Tides is a great way to start the day, with floor-to-ceiling windows showcasing magnificent views as you tuck into a delicious buffet breakfast. After a long day, head to Bistro @ The Bay where you can enjoy superb cuisine made from the finest locally-sourced seasonal ingredients. As the day fades, Sandy B Private Beach Club is the place to be. Here, suntanned socialites sip on refreshing mojitos and you can kick back and relax as you watch the sun dip below the horizon. Rooms are clean and light with a split-level layout and views of the mountains, pool or sea.
