One&Only Cape Town

With views of Table Mountain from most rooms, One&Only Cape Town is a sophisticated urban enclave surrounded by canals and waterways, just moments from the vibrant V&A Waterfront.

Everything here adheres to the ‘bigger is better’ principal, with rooms and suites ranging from 650 to nearly 14,000 square feet. Those in Marina Rise deliver the most arresting views of iconic Table Mountain, while those on the Island are arranged around the largest infinity pool in the city. Two signature suites offer sweeping terraces and private butler service, though the jewel in the crown is the four-bedroom Devil’s Peak Penthouse.

The award-winning spa is set on its own island surrounded by private waterways. The Wine Studio boasts one of the finest collections of wine in the city. And restaurants include the only Nobu on the African continent.

Of particular note is the range of curated activities available, like stand-up paddleboarding along the hotel’s private waterways, tailored hikes up imposing Table Mountain, caring for turtles at the Two Oceans Aquarium, and cage-diving adventures with great white sharks.
