Five-star Les Cascades de Bantry Bay is an elegant hotel perched on the hillside below Lion’s Head in the most coveted corner of the Cape Peninsula.

Ten luxury rooms and suites boast everything from huge flat-screen plasma TVs and espresso machines, to broadband access, luxury bathrooms and oodles of space. Four rooms are set in a separate villa, offering a more contemporary look, with Philippe Stark bathrooms and modern comfortable fittings. The hotel has three swimming pools with superb sun decks which are designed for maximum comfort and intimacy in an Indonesian style. A romantic al fresco dinner on the deck whilst the sun sets over the ocean below, is for many, one of the highlights of their holiday. During the cooler winter evenings intimately snuggle up close to the open fireplace and enjoy fine dining at the villa restaurant. The hotel provides a tranquil and luxurious haven, with Cape Town’s main attractions, the V&A waterfront and Table Mountain only a short drive away. Clifton’s famous beaches are within walking distance.
