One&Only Cape Town, South Africa

An urban chic waterfront resort

One&Only Cape Town is a destination unto itself — an urban chic waterfront resort providing an unprecedented level of luxury in South Africa. In the heart of the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront with captivating views of Table Mountain, this contemporary resort features the largest accommodation in all of Cape Town, with a stylish island design and African flair accentuating the 131 spacious guest rooms and suites.

 

Forty of the resort’s spacious suites are set on an adjacent lush green landscaped island in the marina itself, giving these rooms a distinctive resort feel and convenient access to Spa Island. The resort’s rooms and suites, the largest in Cape Town with a minimum size of 63 square metres, all have a private terrace or balcony. The rooms at the 91-key Marina Rise have panoramic views of Table Mountain.

 

 

The exclusive Spa Island features the most comprehensive and expansive spa in Cape Town. An oasis of serenity and privacy surrounded by water and dense vegetation, the 1,200-square metre One&Only Spa offers 12 treatment suites of which two have private wet areas for couples treatments. Two vitality pools complement the relaxation spaces, sauna and steam rooms, and a hair salon and the celebrated Bastien Gonzalez pedicure and manicure studios provide additional facilities.

 

One&Only Cape Town also has a specially-designed KidsOnly Club for younger guests of 11 and under, which offers daily complimentary supervised activities including full and half-day programmes. For guests with business in mind, there is an extensive meeting and banqueting room measuring 260 square metres, able to host up to 200 people for cocktails and 112 guests for a sit down dinner. The space can also be divided into two separate rooms for a more intimate setting. An adjacent boardroom seats 20 and in the business centre there is a second boardroom seating 12 people.

The largest accommodation

On the dining front, innovative chef Nobu Matsuhisa brings one of the most celebrated global restaurant brands featuring his signature Japanese-inspired menu, with a few South African twists, to Cape Town – the first Nobu in Africa. One&Only Cape Town also offers a second restaurant by Gordon Ramsay called maze, showcasing the best in local seafood, game and produce with flavours inspired by the many cultural influences in Cape Town.

 

 

A spectacular tri-level wall of glass and steel commands the entrance of maze’s impressive Wine Loft. Here, guests can discover a magnificent collection of 5,000 bottles. Fine vintages of Cape Pinotage or Shiraz are on offer alongside undiscovered South African gems, with particular emphasis given to both acclaimed and undiscovered South African vintages. In the mezzanine tasting room, 80 wines are available by the glass, served with suggested food pairings to create a truly new culinary experience with each tasting.

 

A third restaurant, Isola Pool Restaurant, located outdoors on Villa Island is available for more casual dining. Vista, the lobby bar, has a magnificent three-storey clear glass wall highlighting the scenic Table Mountain views.

 

One&Only Cape Town displays the hallmarks of excellence found in all One&Only resorts around the world. It offers an unparalleled commitment to the finest experiences, luxurious accommodation, lively entertainment, a wealth of activities, warm service, a state of- the art spa and unforgettable cuisine.
