The Plettenberg

The Plettenberg (a 5 star Relais & Chateaux Hotel) is built on a rocky headland with breathtaking vistas of the sea, mountains and miles of golden sand in one of the most spectacular resorts in Africa – Plettenberg Bay. It is probably due to this spectacular location that the hotel has gained the reputation as the place to be and be seen.

With 38 superbly furnished rooms and suites including the luxurious Blue Wing, The Plettenberg invites you to indulge in an idyllic experience. Each room is exquisitely unique and all have under-carpet heating and air-conditioning. During the whale season from July to October, enjoy awe-inspiring sightings of dolphins and whales from the top suites.

Breakfast and lunch are served on the terrace by the main pool, evening meals, combining the best of French and English cuisine, are served in the Sand Restaurant. A two bedroom Beach House situated next to the main hotel, with sundeck and private pool, welcomes children under 12, making it the ideal family getaway.

Plettenberg Bay is a holidaymaker's paradise and the eco-tourist's dream. Its eternal weather ensures days of warm comfort and lazy, pleasurable evenings, seldom found anywhere else. It is home to vast expanses of unspoiled Cape flora, delicate eco-systems in wetlands and lagoons, forests of unsurpassed beauty, pristine sand dunes and sun-bleached beaches as far as the eye can see.
