ACTIVITIES:

An elegant Garden Route boutique hotel that reflects the beauty of its South African coastline surroundings. Poised above one of South Africa’s finest bays, The Plettenberg waits to enfold you in seaside luxury. Spot whales and dolphins in the ocean waves. Swim in the infinity pool, then dine al fresco on inventive seafood dishes. While you can relax as much as you want, the beauty of South Africa’s rugged coastline waits just outside to be explored. Rooms at The Plettenberg are bright and airy, with floor to ceiling windows and soft blue and aqua tones that echo its marine setting. Opt for an expansive suite for added space and direct pool access, or a private villa with it’s very own heated pool.
The contemporary SeaFood restaurant won’t let you go hungry, creating magic from sustainable and seasonal ingredients. Pre-dinner (or anytime) cocktails are shaken and stirred at the elegant Sandbar. And high tea is quite the occasion – served in the intimate Summer Lounge or out on the terrace with a side of awe-inspiring views. When you can tear yourself away, the charms of the Garden Route beckon. Stroll down to Lookout Beach, perfect for families with its shallow lagoon. Robberg beaches are popular, and Keurboomstrand for surfing and long, contemplative walks. See magnificent whales and dolphins up close on a boat trip – or embrace your inner thrill seeker with a bungee jump or canopy tour.
