Stay

Camps Bay Retreat

Set into the slope above Camps Bay rather than directly on the beachfront strip, Camps Bay Retreat trades beachfront immediacy for elevated views and a quieter, smaller-scale stay.

Updated 8 August 2026 · Part of the Stay guide

Location

Positioned on the hillside above Camps Bay rather than directly on the beach road, which trades a short walk or drive down to the sand for elevated views over the Atlantic and more separation from the beach strip's evening noise.

Style

A smaller, boutique-scale property rather than a large hotel, generally suited to travellers who prefer a more intimate stay over big-hotel facilities.

Who it suits

Good for couples and travellers who want to be near Camps Bay's beach and restaurants without staying directly in the middle of the strip. Less ideal if step-free, immediate beach access matters, given the hillside setting.

Note: Amenities, room categories and current rates change over time — confirm current details directly with the hotel or your booking platform before reserving.
