The Plettenberg Hotel & Spa

Guestrooms and suites are designed in serene coastal tones, with private sitting areas, en-suite bathrooms, and views of lush gardens or the Indian Ocean. Select accommodations include terraces or plunge pools. Thoughtful touches like a welcome bottle of wine and complimentary minibar enhance the comfort and warmth of your stay.

Flavors of the ocean meet creative cuisine at Amelia’s, where each dish is crafted with seasonal ingredients and local seafood. Enjoy bouillabaisse, black mussels with lemongrass and coconut cream, or the catch of the day—all served alongside expansive sea views. For a mixed cocktail or fine wine, The Sandbar offers a chic yet welcoming lounge setting.

Swim in an infinity-edge pool that appears to flow into the bay, where dolphins often play and surfers ride the waves below. The fitness center includes cardio equipment, free weights, and wellness essentials. For a tranquil reset, the nearby Fresh Wellness Spa offers treatments inspired by nature.

Plettenberg Bay is a launch point for nature-rich experiences—from Robberg Peninsula hikes and Tsitsikamma forest walks to ocean kayaking, birdwatching, and marine safaris. The hotel's concierge can arrange personalized outings for every pace, from adrenaline-filled adventures to leisurely scenic drives.
