One&Only Cape Town



One&Only Cape Town transforms two private islands at the V&A Waterfront into South Africa's premier urban resort, where 131 redesigned rooms and suites frame Table Mountain views while Africa's only Nobu restaurant and the exclusive Spa Island redefine luxury hospitality in the Mother City.

Where Table Mountain's majestic silhouette meets the vibrant V&A Waterfront, One&Only Cape Town emerges as South Africa's most sophisticated urban resort, transforming two private islands into an ultra-luxury sanctuary that celebrates the Mother City's natural splendor and rich cultural heritage.
Since its recent comprehensive reimagining completed in 2023, this flagship One&Only property has redefined Cape Town luxury hotel experiences through its masterful integration of contemporary design and authentic African artistry. The resort's 131 meticulously redesigned rooms and suites showcase collaborations with renowned local artists, including Eli 'Nyambo' Gold's vibrant interpretations of traditional Ndebele art, creating interiors that honor South African craftsmanship while delivering global luxury standards. Each accommodation features floor-to-ceiling windows framing either Table Mountain's iconic profile or the tranquil marina waterways, with the crown jewel Lion's Head Penthouse offering a four-bedroom, butler-serviced sanctuary complete with glass plunge pool and panoramic vistas encompassing Robben Island and Devil's Peak.
The resort's culinary landscape positions it among the best luxury hotels in Cape Town, anchored by Africa's only Nobu restaurant where Matsuhisa's legendary Japanese-Peruvian fusion meets ultra-fresh South African seafood. The three-story Wine Loft houses 5,000 bottles from prestigious local producers like Vergelegen Estate and Thelema Mountain Vineyards, while the redesigned Vista Bar & Lounge and poolside Isola restaurant showcase the property's commitment to gastronomic excellence within culturally rich, artistically inspired settings.
One&Only Cape Town's exclusive Spa Island represents the pinnacle of urban wellness retreats, offering ESPA and Biologique Recherche treatments enhanced with indigenous ingredients like sweet orange and baobab oils. The secluded spa overlooks the infinity pool and waterways, providing a tranquil counterpoint to the resort's curated adventure experiences, from guided Table Mountain hikes to cage-diving excursions with great white sharks. The fully supervised KidsOnly clubhouse ensures families enjoy seamless luxury, while the state-of-the-art fitness center and marina access cater to active travelers.
For discerning guests seeking the ultimate Cape Town luxury hotel experience, One&Only Cape Town delivers unparalleled access to the city's cultural attractions while maintaining the exclusivity of a private island retreat. Book the Island Grand Suite for entertaining privileges or time your visit during Cape Town's summer season for optimal weather and extended daylight hours to fully appreciate Table Mountain's changing moods.
