The Plettenberg

The stay

The Plettenberg is a five-star seaside sanctuary set on a rocky headland in Plettenberg Bay, along the iconic Garden Route. Part of Small Luxury Hotels of the World and The Liz McGrath Collection, this refined escape offers 35 beautifully appointed rooms and two exclusive villas, each framing panoramic views of the Indian Ocean, distant mountains, and sweeping golden beaches.

The Plettenberg occupies a rocky headland that rises directly above the Indian Ocean. Guests wake to the sound of waves below their windows and can spend the day moving between the pool terrace and the spa. In the evening, the restaurant and bar serve refined dishes with sweeping views across the bay, while reliable Wi-Fi keeps travellers connected when required.

Because the property lies on the Garden Route, it slots easily into a tailor-made safari that begins or ends in the Cape Winelands. A few nights here allow time to explore the coastline before or after days spent in the bush, giving travellers a calm base with ocean views and attentive service.
