South Africa One and Only Cape Town | Urbane Nomads

Overview

Amidst the vibrant playground of one of the world’s most fascinating cities, cradled between the scenic wonder of iconic sandstone cliffs marching toward the brilliant waters of two great oceans, One&Only Cape Town is an oasis of cosmopolitan style establishing an unprecedented level of luxury in South Africa…an urban chic waterfront resort with captivating views of Table Mountain and private Spa Island.

Figures well as part of a luxury safari to South Africa.

Accommodation

Clean lines, dark African woods and contemporary artwork by local artisans accentuate the 131 spacious rooms and suites - the largest in all of Cape Town. The generous interior spaces are adorned with fabrics and furnishings recalling the warm, muted tones of Africa's savannahs, with bright splashes of colour paying tribute to the land's vibrant personality. Sumptuously appointed oversized baths are complete with roomy rain shower, private water closet and dual marble vanity.

Restaurant & Bars

The culinary experience at One&Only Cape Town is one of purity, creativity and joyful discovery. Two Michelin-starred chefs headline the resort’s dining choices, with the legendary Nobu Matsuhisa and cutting-edge star Gordon Ramsay both opening their first venues in Africa.

Recreation

Mountain Climbing
Table Mountain and surrounding mountain ranges boast the best environs for rock climbing, abseiling and kloofing. If you're after gentler mountain activities, you'll be thrilled with the Peninsula's variety of mountain bike and hiking trails. There's something for all fitness levels.

Air Adventures
There's skydiving, hang-gliding and paragliding, each offering some of the best views in the world. If you'd prefer to stay inside an aircraft, be whirled and twirled above the Winelands as part of an aerobatic display.

Pools and Beaches
A 350-square-metre free-form, infinity-edge heated pool is located on the Island featuring private sitting areas with double chaise lounges ideal for sunbathing or relaxing under shaded pavilions.

Diving
For those wanting to get to the action below the water, the Cape Peninsula offers several top scuba spots. The water is cold, but it's well worth the experience. Amateurs can participate in diving courses - these can be arranged from a variety of surf and dive shops around the city. For even more adrenalin, embark on a day's shark cage diving adventure in Gansbaai tour outside of Cape Town. For those more pressed for time, the Two Oceans Aquarium at the V&A Waterfront also offers shark cage diving. This is not for the faint-hearted!

A superlative journey that would surely figure on any 'Trips of a Lifetime' list. Starting in Cape Town before departing via private plane to Antarctica, you will be spending days (and nights) in expedition-style tents on Antarctica, kite-skiing, exploring ice waves and talking to polar explorers. Combining an out-of-the-ordinary South African safari experience to the Antarctica trip, you'll find yourself witness to a rhino tagging exercise at the end of your stay- allowing you to come into close contact with these prehistoric animals.
