Camps Bay

Camps Bay offers visitors one of the most sought-after destinations of all as far as views, luxury and lifestyle go. Imagine a long, gorgeous white beach at the edge of beautiful turquoise ocean waters. As you turn around, you take in the swaying palm trees, side-walk cafes, and the spectacular backdrop of the Twelve Apostles mountains. If you can imagine this, then you will have a good idea what a visit to Camps Bay will offer. Boasting some of the best views imaginable, it is no wonder that this area has been lauded for its breath-taking scenery.

Situated on the Atlantic Seaboard, between Llandudno and Clifton, Camps Bay is easily one of Cape Town’s most popular areas. This destination has often been compared to the South of France, with a laid-back atmosphere and idyllic beauty that lends itself to honeymoons, holidays and much-needed breaks. The beach has been designated with Blue Flag status, with endless stretches of white sand flanked by the blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Alongside the beach lies the bustling beachfront, which is lined with cafes, bars, restaurants and trendy shops that are sure to keep any avid traveller busy for days. During the hot summer months, this is the perfect place to enjoy a sunset cocktail or soak up the sun on one of Africa’s most famous beaches.

Creating a picture-perfect backdrop, the rocky Twelve Apostles mountain range further adds to the beauty of the area. A number of our holiday apartments and Camps Bay villas offer views of the mountain, with many boasting equally lovely views of the ocean as well. Few things compare to ending off your day watching the sun set over the ocean, as you enjoy the world-class views that have made Camps Bay accommodation highly in demand throughout the year.
