Where to stay in Camps Bay

The postcard: white sand under the Twelve Apostles, a single strip of restaurants facing it, sunsets that empty the city onto the beach. It is the most expensive ground in Cape Town, the most beautiful, and the most isolated — everything else is over Kloof Nek or around the coast, and there is no version of this stay without a car.

Our picks in Camps Bay

Best on the beach

The Marly

Our pick for Camps Bay because it is on the Promenade at 75 Victoria Road, directly above the strip and facing the beach — which is the entire reason to accept this area's distance from everything else.
