If you organise retreats or co-living stays, Camps Bay in Cape Town should be on your shortlist. Mountain on one side, ocean on the other, and villas built for groups. This is where a retreat runs itself.
Why Camps Bay Works for Retreats
Camps Bay sits at the foot of Table Mountain and the Twelve Apostles, with the Atlantic Ocean a short stroll away. Guests can start the day with a hike, cool off in the tidal pool, and end the evening at a beach restaurant. Everything a retreat needs is within walking distance: coffee shops, restaurants, yoga studios, and the beach itself.
For co-living groups, the same setup works differently. Fast internet, private workspaces, and a change of scenery without losing any comfort.
The Villas
We manage a portfolio of luxury villas in Camps Bay, ranging from 3 to 7 bedrooms. Two of our most popular for groups:
Argyle Villa (www.argylevilla.co.za) Five en-suite bedrooms in the main house, plus a separate one-bedroom apartment for an additional guest or a facilitator who wants their own space. A heated pool, a large deck for group sessions or communal meals, and a short stroll to the beach.
Lion’s View (www.lionsview.co.za) A five-bedroom main house and a two-bedroom apartment, which can be combined into a single seven-bedroom villa. Two pools, a koi pond courtyard, and a five-minute walk to the beach. The main house also has private workspaces in most bedrooms, useful for retreats that mix group time with quiet work.
Both villas are solar powered, so load shedding does not interrupt your programme.
What We Can Arrange
Beyond the villa, we can help build out the full retreat experience:
- Private chefs, for daily meals or a single showcase dinner
- Yoga and pilates teachers
- Massage therapists
- Guided hikes on Table Mountain and the surrounding trails
- Wine tasting excursions in the Cape Winelands
- Local tours
South Africa’s produce is excellent, and our chefs know how to use it. Fresh, seasonal, and easy to build a menu around.
Managed, Not Just Rented
Camps Bay Apartments has managed properties in this area since 2000. We are on hand throughout your stay, not just for check-in. If something needs sorting, we sort it, so you can focus on running your retreat.
