The luxurious Twelve Apostles Hotel and Spa is built in the shadow of the awesome Twelve Apostles that extends down the Cape from Table Mountain. Just a few minutes from Camps Bay it enjoys one of the world's most beautiful settings and boasts uninterrupted views of the Atlantic Ocean. You may even spot a few whales! Admire the vistas from the Leopard Bar - the perfect place to unwind before dinner at the Azure Restaurant, which serves delicious international fare with a South African slant!

I recently visited this wonderful spa and it completely exceeded my expectations. From the moment I arrived, the atmosphere was incredibly welcoming and inviting. The spa strikes the perfect balance of being cosy and spacious at the same time, creating a tranquil environment that immediately helps you disconnect from the outside world. I opted for a 90-minute deep muscle massage with Fatima, who was both pleasant and highly professional. She really knew her craft, and the massage was deeply relaxing and effective. By the end, I felt incredibly rejuvenated and tension-free – the perfect antidote to everyday stress. The facilities are excellent, with a plunge pool and jacuzzi that are ideal for extending the relaxation. Everything is thoughtfully provided, including soft robes, slippers, and towels. The location is simply stunning – overlooking the sea, with beautiful views that enhance the peaceful vibe. After the treatment, they offer complimentary refreshments, which was a lovely touch. The staff throughout were friendly and attentive, making the whole experience feel personal and cared for. This is easily one of the best spas I’ve visited. Whether you’re looking for a serious unwind session or just a break from the busyness of life, I highly recommend it. I will definitely be returning soon! Read less

What a beautiful setting. Came for Restaurant Week @ Azure. YONELA, our waitress, was good, she was friendly, attentive and well spoken, meal recommendations were good and what I enjoyed was that she asked about allergies. Food was good, flavorsome and generous portions.
