Virgin Holidays View
This hotel is the ultimate spot to indulge one’s soul with its dramatic cliff top location along the Garden Route as well as superb cuisine, luxury spa and a sense of sleek yet natural comfort. Situated atop a cliff overlooking the ocean, with expansive uninterrupted ocean views sprawled out in front of you, this hotel has the perfect balance between architectural and design elegance along with making the most of untouched natural beauty. This small, unique hotel, part of the Relais and Chateaux group is made up of just 37 rooms. The living spaces are incredibly spacious with lots of light and natural lines and textures used to enhance the phenomenal setting. There are 2 pools including a beautiful infinity swimming pool, and you can experience fabulous sightings of dolphins and whales in the bay from the pool terraces. The hotel is located in pretty Plettenberg Bay and also within easy walking distance of Central Beach. Evidence of the region’s rich environment continues to the table; at the signature restaurant the Sand at the Plettenberg, chef Peter Tempelhoff features local produce and fresh seafood in his modern global cuisine, and for the ultimate in intimacy, the single table for 2 in the Wine Cellar offers you with an extensive list of South Africa’s best wines. The Plettenberg will suit many tastes as it embraces a more relaxed style of beach hotel, albeit with an understated elegance.
