Cape Town Holidays

Cape Town holidays deliver an enticing mix of sun-splashed beaches, vibrant neighbourhoods, spectacular coastal scenery and moving history. Surely one of the most dramatic cities, Cape Town enjoys an enviable location perched on the shoulders of Table Mountain between the Atlantic and Indian Ocean and puts South Africa firmly on the map.

From the lively waterfront the city radiates out past sweeping beaches, bustling markets and elegant Cape Dutch homesteads. To the north, Robben Island is a moving reminder of the country’s turbulent history, whilst to the south, dramatic coastal drives stretch out to the wild expanses of the Cape of Good Hope.

Choose to stay at the upmarket V&A Waterfront, the historic City Bowl or for a more relaxing stay, one of the city’s beachside suburbs: Granger Bay, Sea Point or Bantry Bay. Trendy Camps Bay is just around the headland and offers a laidback surf scene with cafés, shops and bars opposite its glorious sandy beach. Alternatively, venture to the affluent suburban areas of either rural Constantia, home to some of the world’s oldest wine estates or Newlands, proudly standing in the shadow of majestic Table Mountain.
