At Ionia, life’s philosophy is that true escape lies in the simplicity of things: a carefree ocean breeze ruffling woven linen curtains, the sound and smell of distant waves breaking on the powder-white shoreline. Here the passing days are marked by a golden light that shifts and dances through the home’s sand-and-bone-toned interiors.

‍

The Lowdown
Finding a soulful harmony between its pared-back Grecian architecture—think flat roofs supported by a series of graceful colonnades—and the warmth of Belgian-style interiors, Ionia is a masterclass in feel-good minimalism, set to a song of raw wood, soft linens, whitewashed plaster, and handcrafted pieces. Simplicity and functionality are elevated to luxury status at Ionia, where a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor spaces leads guests out onto a spacious pool terrace with seemingly endless views over the Atlantic Ocean.

Sleeping Arrangements
The main house comprises eight en-suite bedrooms, each offering semi-private balconies with sea or mountain views. An optional two-bedroom penthouse apartment is available upon request, featuring private bathrooms and a separate pool, providing additional privacy and luxury.​ What To Expect
Enjoy open-plan living areas with a designer chef’s kitchen leading to covered terraces, perfect for entertaining or relaxing. A series of floor-to-ceiling glass doors fold away, leading onto a large heated swimming pool, outdoor seating, and pockets of leisure areas. Services such as daily housekeeping, a full-time chef, and 24/7 concierge ensure every need is taken care of.

The Art House Difference
A study in restrained sophistication, Ionia's design emphasises harmony with its surroundings, effortlessly blending into the unique setting between the Cape’s ancient Twelve Apostles mountains and the Atlantic shoreline.
