One&Only Cape Town

Cape Town’s exclusive waterfront resort
VERIFIED LUXURY

As you enter One&Only Cape Town, breathtaking views of Table Mountain through floor-to-ceiling windows will capture your attention. Overlooking both the Marina and Victoria & Alfred Waterfront, the resort delivers a scenic urban escape.

Though you’re just steps from the bustling South African metropolis, you’ll feel worlds away thanks to the waterways that snake around the property. Indulgences like a 10,000-plus-square-foot private spa island and the continent’s only outpost of acclaimed Japanese fusion eatery Nobu add to the air of exclusivity.

While it’s easy to linger at the luxe property, you won’t want to miss out on curated adventures like wine-tasting tours, sunrise hikes up iconic Table Mountain or whale watching excursions that can all be arranged at your request.

So, whether you’re an adrenaline seeker looking to dive with sharks or a sun worshipper looking to linger by a secluded, sparkling pool, you’ll find bliss at One&Only Cape Town.

Our Inspector's Highlights

  • One&Only Cape Town sits in a prime location within walking distance of V&A Waterfront, a popular gathering spot housing a variety of shops, restaurants and bars.
  • The Cape Town hotel is an oenophile’s paradise thanks to the Wine Loft, a striking three-story tower that houses 5,000 bottles. Swirl and savor your way through a selection of vintages from local producers like Vergelegen Estate, Thelema Mountain Vineyards and Eben Sadie.
