Rising above the cliffs and coastline of Camps Bay and showcasing spectacular views over the Atlantic Ocean, this impressive, contemporary retreat stands tall – five storeys tall, to be exact.

With floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding doors in just about every room, you'll be greeted by panoramic views of the iconic Lion's Head and Twelve Apostles at every turn. No wonder it's been featured in architecture and interior design magazines.

Multiple kitchens and living areas to relax in means privacy is never a problem. Cosy up with a book in front of the floating fireplace, enjoy your morning coffee on the balcony or take a moment to admire the host's curated art collection. However you like to do self-care, this home has it in spades.

Whether you plan to hire a chef or give it a go yourself, the outdoor kitchen calls for alfresco dinners. Gather everyone around the table, pop open a bottle of wine and tuck in as the sky turns golden. End another day in paradise with a dip in the infinity pool to fully immerse yourself in the scenery, or run yourself a bath and let the bubbles wash over you.

With the famous Camps Bay beach practically on your doorstep, plus the swanky seafood restaurants and rooftop bars of the city within easy reach, you can spend your time surfing, sunbathing and sampling world cuisines 'til your heart's content. What more could you ask for on a South African getaway?
