Stay

One&Only Cape Town

One&Only Cape Town occupies its own small island within the V&A Waterfront marina, positioned at the luxury end of the city's hotel scene.

Updated 8 August 2026 · Part of the Stay guide

Location

Connected to the main V&A Waterfront precinct by a footbridge, the resort's island setting gives it a sense of separation from the busier parts of the harbour while keeping shopping and restaurants within easy walking distance.

Style

Positioned as a luxury resort rather than a standard city hotel, with resort-style facilities and a design language that leans contemporary rather than traditional. It's generally considered one of the more expensive options in the city.

Who it suits

Travellers prioritising a luxury resort experience — honeymoons, anniversaries, special occasions — within walking distance of the Waterfront's restaurants and the Robben Island ferry terminal.

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