Why do couples on a romantic getaway choose to make Camps Bay their ‘love nest of choice’? What brings families, friends and people from all walks of life to this vibrant ocean-facing village, regardless of the season?

The plain and simple answer – there is no ‘one single attribute’ that sets Camps Bay apart from the rest, but rather a diverse and splendid multitude of attributes. Of course, when planning the ideal seaside holiday, it is only natural for guests to conjure up picturesque images of white sandy shores, shimmering blue ocean waters, stunning accommodation and an attractive selection of activities to enjoy, all more or less within minutes of one another – Camps Bay is all of this, and more. Imagine an indulgent dessert with a hidden centre, where you already expect something amazing but end up with something far more exceptional.

First and foremost, Camps Bay is truly and naturally beautiful, adjacent to Table Mountain with the 12 Apostles creating a magnificent backdrop and Lions Head to the side. Hiking and mountain climbing are popular activities to enjoy along the rocky slopes of Camps Bay, with rewarding views to appreciate during and after. The vast and unrelenting Atlantic Ocean can be appreciated from some gorgeous beaches, with Clifton’s famous Blue Flag Beach just a few minutes away. Camps Bay beach is a sight to behold, with its pure white sand, rocky outskirts and spectacular views – over the weekend, this beach is packed with families, volley ball players, surfers, relaxed couples and groups of friends.

Camps Bay also showcases a lengthy promenade that is lined with palm trees, offering ocean views on one side and an array of stylish restaurants on the other side – the perfect place to enjoy a sunset stroll or to snap a few spectacular photos before enjoying a meal at one of Camps Bay’s luxurious restaurants. To explore Camps Bay on foot is an adventure in itself, while guided bicycle tours are popular among tourists.

Visitors to Camps Bay can enjoy easy access to many of Cape Town’s favourite tourist hot spots, with Table Mountain’s cable car just a short drive away, the fabulous shopping haven of V&A Waterfront a mere 20 minute drive out and Cape Town City Centre, with its awesome night life scene and cultural appeal, also close by. The nearby coastal area of Sea Point offers visitors a ton of family-friendly activities and few unique clubs and cafes. Some well loved wine routes and peaceful vineyards can be enjoyed by tourists and involve driving just a little further out which is a worthwhile endevour – after all, Cape Town’s wine routes are something of a legend among wine connoisseurs from all over the world.  Whether your ideal vacation is spent soaking up the sunshine of summer days by the beach or discovering attraction after attraction, a vacation spent in Camps Bay promises to deliver.
