Experience the Luxury of Camps Bay in Cape Town

Camps Bay is famed for being ultra luxurious, breathtakingly beautiful and the place where the elite, rich and fabulous come together to experience great times in Cape Town. Set along the stunning Atlantic Seaboard with the backdrop of the 12 Apostles and Signal Hill, as well as some of the most exquisitely designed villas money can buy, there is an unmistakable air of “the finer things in life” when driving along the coast and admiring Camps Bay’s luxury villas. 

The gorgeous suburb of Camps Bay combines romance with exclusivity and excitement to provide guests with an unforgettable holiday setting, enjoyed all year around by visitors from around the globe. Some of the best restaurants and attractions in Cape Town are located along Camps Bay’s famous beachfront promenade and play a big role in our country earning legendary status for its amazing wines and excellent cuisines. Camps Bay is also home to a blue-flag beach and is located next to the seaside suburbs of Clifton and Bakoven, also well loved and boasting a unique array of attractions and a selection of gorgeous beaches.

Although Cape Town as a whole offers tourists so much to do, the ocean facing suburb of Camps Bay is in a league of its own when it comes to style and luxury. The lengthy beachfront is lined with palm trees and bordered by rocks and shallow tidal pools, while those spending a day at the beach need only walk a few meters to enjoy the vibrant promenade bustling with locals and visitors having cocktails, brunches and shopping with friends and family. Table Mountain is located a short drive away, while Camps Bay’s Theatre on the Bay offers excellent entertainment and The Promenade is perfect for shopping.
