Nestled in the serene coastal village of Arniston, just a leisurely two-hour drive from Cape Town, the luxurious 4-star Arniston Spa Hotel offers an unparalleled escape from the hustle and bustle of city life.
Surrounded by the turquoise-blue sea and pristine, white sandy beaches, this internationally renowned getaway is sandwiched between two stunning nature reserves. Visitors are welcomed with friendly service and can enjoy panoramic views of the unspoiled coastline from the comfort of their rooms.
A Culinary Delight with a View
The Arniston Spa Hotel not only boasts stunning views but also offers an exceptional culinary experience. The sophisticated menu blends traditional South African cuisine with modern innovations, all crafted by renowned chefs. Guests can savor fresh oysters and seafood, sourced directly from the local fishing boats.
The breakfast buffet is a delectable spread of healthy and traditional foods, complemented by a wide selection of excellent local wines. Dining here is an experience that tantalizes the taste buds while providing breathtaking views of the ocean.
Award-Winning Accommodations
The hotel’s commitment to excellence has not gone unnoticed. Arniston Spa Hotel is the proud winner of two Haute Grandeur Global Excellence Awards: Best Country Hotel in South Africa and Best Beach Hotel in South Africa.
The unspoiled, child-friendly beaches nearby are perfect for swimming and surfing, thanks to the warmer waters brought by the Mozambique current. The main swimming area, Roman Beach, offers shallow, calm waters ideal for children, and a surf break for both beginner and advanced surfers.
Historical Charm of Kassiesbaai
Adjacent to the hotel is Kassiesbaai, a picturesque 120-year-old fishing village and a Grade One Heritage Site. This historical gem offers a glimpse into South Africa’s rich maritime history, with its makeshift beginnings rooted in the use of shipwreck materials for building homes.
Exploring Kassiesbaai on foot provides an opportunity to engage with locals and enjoy traditional seafood cooked with Cape Malay spices. The village’s rustic charm and the traditional evening meals hosted in fishermen’s houses add a unique cultural flavor to the Arniston experience.
Adventures and Natural Wonders
For those seeking adventure, Arniston offers a variety of activities to enrich your stay. Guests can embark on scenic walks to the local harbor, the historical Kassiesbaai village, or the spectacular Waenhuiskrans cave, which is only accessible at low tide.
The area’s natural beauty is further showcased by the nearby Struispunt Beacon, a historical marker warning sailors of the treacherous Saxon Reef. Visitors can also explore ancient fish traps and shell middens along the coast, which tell the stories of the early shore-dwellers. With whale watching opportunities and cycling routes available, the Arniston Spa Hotel provides a comprehensive and unforgettable coastal retreat.
