Heading outdoors this season? Our top stays will reconnect you with nature

From cliffs to coastlines, Cape Town is bucket-list must for adventure travelers – and these 3 art homes make the most of the breathtaking landscape 

It’s no secret that the Western Cape is a nature lover’s dream – from sweeping mountains to incredible coastline, the landscape is a year-round attraction for locals and tourists alike.

If you’re an avid nature enthusiast – whether discovering the marvels of the Cape Floral Kingdom at a leisurely pace or training for the next half-marathon – there are plenty of sights and trails in and around the Mother City to choose from.

 

Running season is an all-year affair in Cape Town – kicking off in April with the Two Oceans Marathon right up to the Table Mountain Challenge and Sanlam Cape Town Marathon, in September and October, respectively – and there is no shortage of mountain hikes, forest trails and beach treks for everyone from the determinedly outdoorsy to big family groups looking to bond on vacation.

Our selection of luxury homes are surrounded by fresh country air and not only boast curated interiors and striking architecture, they provide the perfect space to unwind and recharge as nature intended. 

Villa Verte 

Located in the lush Hout Bay region, with the Oudekraal Nature Reserve as your background and boasting incredible views, Villa Verte is the pinnacle of luxe mountain experiences. The home has 4 bedrooms and is suitable for 8 guests – with art, sculptures and architecture that is both striking yet completely at one with the landscape. Take a dip in the pool or laze about on the deck, or if you’re about staying active throughout your getaway, there are a host of nature walks available. Find out how you and your loved ones can book your next stay here 

Halcyon 

The mountain behind you and the blue Atlantic Seaboard stretching out ahead, Halcyon is a dream for that long overdue beachfront holiday made reality. This exceptional property can host up to 8 guests, which is perfect for an intimate family getaway or a birthday weekend with friends. The home comes with a heated swimming pool, an ideal choice after a day of outdoor activities (of course, you can always take a dip in the crisp ocean water – it’s at the front door).

St. James Beach House

The Southern Peninsula is a bucket-list destination, with Cape Point as one of the main attractions in the area. Just a half hour outside of Cape Town, St. James Beach House is the perfect retreat for a small group of friends or family (especially if you’re into outdoor activities and want to be relatively near the action). Bask in the morning sun, take in the incredible view and relax with loved ones after a day of outdoor activities.
