Table Mountain rising over Cape Town at golden hour

Cape Town · 4 nights

Ease into honeymoon time

Begin in one of the world’s most beautiful cities, where Table Mountain rises above the sea. Choose your base: a clifftop hideaway away from the buzz of the city, or an intimate retreat in the heart of the city close to the Waterfront, each renowned for its luxurious accommodation and breathtaking views. Either way, expect slow mornings, sunset views, world-class wine, and celebrated dining, the perfect way to ease into honeymoon time.

A king protea, South Africa's national flower, among the fynbos at Grootbos Private Nature Reserve

Grootbos Private Nature Reserve · 3 nights

Wild coast, quiet luxury

A scenic drive along the Cape Whale Route brings you to a private nature reserve where fynbos-covered hills meet the sea. Settle into a suite warmed by an open fireplace, with sunset champagne and candlelit baths drawn for two. By day, choose your own romance: horseback rides across the reserve, whale watching from the cliffs in season, or a botanical walk through ancient milkwood forest. By night, a couples’ spa treatment, a candlelit dinner under the stars, and nowhere else in the world you need to be. Grootbos has been named among Condé Nast Traveler’s Readers’ Choice Award winners year after year, one of just a handful of African lodges to do so.

A seven-night celebration of city glamour and a luxury eco-reserve closer to Cape Town, no internal flights needed. Slower, and just as unforgettable.
