Find out what makes Bantry Bay such a special place to visit

Bantry Bay is an affluent suburb of Cape Town situated on the slopes of Lion's Head overlooking the beautiful Cape coastline; extremely popular for visitors as it is sheltered from the south-easterly wind. Luxury hotels and accommodation in Bantry Bay showcase the city of Cape Town and its spectacular beaches to perfection, promising those enjoying a holiday in South Africa an unforgettable stay.

As its name signifies, Bantry Bay lies perched on the rocks overlooking the Atlantic Ocean in one of the most exclusive bays on the Atlantic Seaboard. Crashing waves, magnificent sunsets, and protection from the wind make Bantry Bay much sought after and, because of its position, an ideal base from which to explore Cape Town.

Bantry Bay lies just outside the vibey suburb of Sea Point and, although it doesn’t have a beach of its own, you can reach the beaches of Clifton on foot or Saunders Rocks on the border of Bantry Bay and Sea Point has a little tidal pool. Bantry Bay hugs the slopes of Lion’s Head and the very contemporary apartments that line the Bantry Bay seafront are as close to the ocean as you can get.

Bantry Bay is within easy reach of Table Mountain and the cableway, the V&A Waterfront, and the city bowl are only 5 minutes away and the suburb has its own deli. For other restaurants and shops head off to Sea Point - the promenade here is great for evening strolls or early morning ambles - or Camps Bay.
