The Bay Hotel | Cape Town, South Africa | Virgin Atlantic Holidays

Cape Town, South Africa

4.5 stars

You will instantly feel relaxed when you stay at the Bay Hotel. The hotel is chilled out and contemporary but manages to combine luxury with a relaxed, informal atmosphere, a perfect beachfront retreat. Occupying the coolest location in Cape Town, in the very heart of the trendy suburb of Camps Bay, you can sip on a sundowner whilst overlooking the white sandy beach. In addition to the spectacular view, the hotel is in the middle of the Camps Bay ‘strip’ dotted with bars and restaurants where Cape Town’s ‘in-crowd’ just must be seen. All of this and only a few minutes from the Table Mountain cableway and just 15 minutes from the V&A Waterfront and downtown. Back on site, there are four beautiful pools to lounge by and Bistro at The Bay, serves up a feast of gourmet delights. Afterwards, relax in the sophisticated elegance of Caamil’s Bar and Caamil, the best barman you will find in Cape Town.

“The Bay Hotel does not disappoint”

Jun 28, 2026jtucke124821

Our family of 5 adults and 3 adult children stayed at The Bay Hotel during the winter season, and every single one of us absolutely loved our experience. From the moment we arrived, The Bay Hotel exceeded every expectation. After a long day of travel, the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. They graciously accommodated both an early check in and a late checkout to fit our flight schedule, which made all the difference. The hotel itself is absolutely stunning. The design is modern, elegant, and beautifully decorated, with a relaxed coastal vibe that reminded me of Malibu, California. You're welcomed with a refreshing drink upon arrival, and you'll also receive a discounted massage package for the spa. I highly recommend taking advantage of it because it was one of the best massages I've ever had. The service here is truly exceptional. Every staff member greeted us with a smile and was eager to help with anything we needed. A special thank you to Caamil, who made our stay even more enjoyable. The hotel bar is even named after him, and after meeting him, it's easy to see why! The amenities are fantastic, including 24-hour tennis and padel courts, four beautiful pools, and multiple lounge areas to relax throughout the property. Breakfast was another highlight. The included buffet featured an incredible variety of fresh options, an omelet station, and even a full à la carte menu if you wanted something different, all included in your stay. The location couldn't be better. The beach is directly across the street, making it effortless to enjoy the ocean, and it's an easy walk to the restaurants, shops, and promenade. Although we visited during the winter season, the weather was beautiful, and we thoroughly enjoyed lounging by the pools, walking on the beach, and exploring the surrounding area. The Bay Hotel is the perfect destination year-round. Beautiful hotel, outstanding service, incredible amenities, and a perfect location. Our entire family agreed this was one of our favorite hotels, and we would absolutely stay here again. We highly recommend The Bay Hotel to anyone visiting Cape Town.

The hotel sits right in the middle of Camps Bay overlooking the beach. They moved us to a better room as they were doing works in the hotel. Staff were really helpful and friendly. Particularly the man who works at the gate, he always was smiling and was very funny. A very memorable stay and a special place.
