South Beach Camps Bay
Miami-meets-Cape Town. Sleek, contemporary, and art-forward. White and chrome interiors, bold South African artwork throughout, a rooftop pool bar for sundowners. Calm and quiet despite being steps from Camps Bay's restaurant strip. Adults-only.
Book a Pool Suite or Pool Suite Plus for direct terrace access to one of the pools — no shared pool deck required.
Why It Matters
Every one of the 21 suites faces the sea. The hotel holds an exclusive art collection featuring original works by leading South African artists including Lionel Smit and Marieke Prinsloo Rowe. It has won TripAdvisor's Travellers' Choice Award every year from 2017 through 2025. The self-catering-in-a-hotel model is genuinely unusual at this price point — you get apartment independence with daily housekeeping and concierge.
South Beach Camps Bay is a 5-star all-suite boutique hotel sitting less than 50 metres from the famous Camps Bay beachfront and Blue Flag beach. Its Miami-inspired aesthetic — white leather, chrome accents, bold art — makes it stand out on the Atlantic Seaboard. The concept is clever: self-catering freedom (fully equipped kitchen, fridge stocked daily with breakfast ingredients, fresh croissants delivered to your door) inside a proper hotel with two pools, a 24-hour gym, two bars, and attentive staff.
