Beach Hotel Recommendations

"Camps Bay, an up-market suburb of Cape Town is nestled between the grey cliffs of Table Mountain and the deep blue Atlantic ocean. It offers to say the least, a breathtaking sight! Located close to the action and directly across from the famous Camps Bay beach, is POD Camps Bay, a 15 room boutique hotel. Floor to ceiling glass offers spectacular views over the ocean as well as the 12 Apostles Mountain Range. The rooms feature an open plan layout which incorporate elements such as granite, steel, wood and glass for a raw yet polished effect."

"For those with a taste for the trendy and a keen eye for design, a stay at this luxury boutique hotel is a must. Set in the idyllic seaside suburb of Camps Bay, a stone’s throw away from the beach, the 15-roomed POD is a design master-piece think clean contemporary wood and slate finishes with every amenity and functionality carefully curated. Wallpaper Magazine has given a nod to the designsavvy POD as it features in the 2013 Wallpaper City Guide Cape Town."

"Overlooking Camps Bay's main beach, the rectilinear architecture of Pod is gaining currency along the Atlantic Seaboard. The balconies in the Deluxe Suites allow you to watch the body conscious doing yoga on the beach, or you may prefer the view from the handsome bar/lounge."

"POD is the only modern deluxe boutique hotel in Camps Bay, the strip of palm-lined beach that is Cape Town's sunshine playground. Quietly discreet, with just 15 bedrooms, it delivers design with a big D; but it's terribly relaxed too, breezy even, which is probably why it appeals to an international, design-savvy crowd that likes to fly a little below the radar."

"Camps Bay is like Rio's Ipanema, the hip hub where you find all the best restaurants, the great bars, the cute little bikini shops. And Pod is in the seaside centre of it. It's beautiful, with only 15 rooms, all glass, textured African woods and unpolished slate.”

Cool Cocoon

"An unimposing three levels high, this striking modern structure is a study of superbly integrated design, from the outside in. And POD is most appropriately named, the space lending itself entirely to stylishly relaxed cocooning."

"Designed by Greg Wright Architects, this intimate 15-room retreat in Cape Town's Camps Bay is a beautifully understated work in glass, steel and African timber. Guest lounges on each floor encourage sociability. Rooms come with spectacular views of the Atlantic seaboard or the Twelve Apostles mountains."

Beach Breaks

"'Ibiza' lounge tunes mixed with a sophisticated yet understated 'greige' colour palette make quaffing a glass of champagne after a long, hard day on the beach obligatory to be followed by a night out on the Camps Bay strip, of course. But as each room comes equipped with flat-screen TV, iPod docking station, incredible views and the most amazing double showers we've ever encountered, you'll find hanging out in your room just as tempting."
