Cape Town’s exclusive waterfront resort

VERIFIED LUXURY

Learn How We Inspect

As you enter One&Only Cape Town, breathtaking views of Table Mountain through floor-to-ceiling windows will capture your attention. Overlooking both the Marina and Victoria & Alfred Waterfront, the resort delivers a scenic urban escape.

Though you’re just steps from the bustling South African metropolis, you’ll feel worlds away thanks to the waterways that snake around the property. Indulgences like a 10,000-plus-square-foot private spa island and the continent’s only outpost of acclaimed Japanese fusion eatery Nobu add to the air of exclusivity.

While it’s easy to linger at the luxe property, you won’t want to miss out on curated adventures like wine-tasting tours, sunrise hikes up iconic Table Mountain or whale watching excursions that can all be arranged at your request.

So, whether you’re an adrenaline seeker looking to dive with sharks or a sun worshipper looking to linger by a secluded, sparkling pool, you’ll find bliss at One&Only Cape Town.

Our Inspector's Highlights

One&Only Cape Town sits in a prime location within walking distance of V&A Waterfront, a popular gathering spot housing a variety of shops, restaurants and bars.
The Cape Town hotel is an oenophile’s paradise thanks to the Wine Loft, a striking three-story tower that houses 5,000 bottles. Swirl and savor your way through a selection of vintages from local producers like Vergelegen Estate, Thelema Mountain Vineyards and Eben Sadie.
The continent’s only outpost of world-renowned Japanese-fusion restaurant Nobu is inside One&Only Cape Town. You’ll find menu staples like black cod in miso alongside items made with ultra-fresh South African seafood.
Find your Zen at the luxury resort’s secluded spa island. Overlooking the waterways and infinity pool, the serene spot pampers with treatments featuring both local ingredients (sweet orange- and baobab-scented oil) and renowned products (natural beauty brand ESPA and French skincare line Biologique Recherche).
Curated experiences range from stand-up paddleboarding through the waterways to guided hikes up Table Mountain. For the fearless, cage-diving excursions with sharks are also on offer.
