Time stands still and whales play in the sheltered bay. Arniston, the crown jewel of the Western Cape, can be found at the end of a leisurely two-hour drive from Cape Town that will take you through the colourful rolling hills of the Overberg.

The luxurious 4-star Arniston Spa Hotel welcomes you to an exquisite setting. Unspoilt panoramic views of the turquoise ocean are flanked by majestic sand dunes. Arniston is surrounded by pristine nature reserves and boasts endless white beaches. We also have our own unique historical fishing village and picturesque harbour with its slipway into the bay.

We aim to make your children’s stay a memorable and enjoyable one. We have volleyball, soccer balls, boogie boards and mountain bikes. Child minders are also available. During school holidays we have a large playroom for the kids with table tennis, pool and air hockey tables as well as toys for smaller children and boardgames.

Ginkgo Spa

Let us pamper you with our outstanding service and attention to detail. We pride ourselves in offering treatments based on traditional hands-on touch therapy principles. The Spa menu is endless and will ensure that you leave this sanctuary totally relaxed and rejuvenated with the skin nourished, muscles soothed and mind calmed. Our Spa is operated by the renowned Ginkgo Spa & Wellness Group.

Our Restaurants and Bar

Our chef gets his inspiration from the world’s largest larder, the sea, and begins his day at the fishing boats. Here the morning’s catch, along with fresh shellfish, is the soul of a sophisticated menu blending old Cape Malay favourites with some modern eclectic innovations, complemented by an award-winning wine list.
