Luxury Villas and Property Investment in Western Cape, South Africa
Regardless of the motivations of entering the luxury second home market - as a business investment or purely for pleasure - there's no doubt that having access to a selection of international properties is synonymous with success and a jet-set lifestyle. Our Members enjoy exclusive access holiday homes all over the world, including our beautiful luxury villas in the Western Cape of South Africa.
In the already extraordinarily attractive South African coast, the Western Cape is particularly eye-catching. With the Indian Ocean to the south and Atlantic to the west, Western Cape is the most mountainous of South Africa's provinces, fringed in sandy beaches and swathed in vineyards. These contrasting landscapes merge to form an utterly stunning region. From the sumptuous convenience of our luxury villa, you can get lost in the scenery, wine and unique atmosphere of a place defined by its diversity of cultures.
The History of the Western Cape, South Africa
Western Cape in its modern form has only existed since 1993, when the Cape Province was divided into three, but the history of this area goes back millennia, and is home to one of South Africa's most important historical sites. Klipgat Cave is in the Walker Bay Nature Reserve near Gansbaai and was home to generations of early humans. Some of the oldest human fossils ever discovered were found here, and to explore the cave is to see the same sights as some of humanity's most ancient ancestors.
What to See and Do in the Western Cape
You could spend months in the Western Cape and still not see everything this culturally rich and beautifully scenic area has to offer. You can go hiking in nature reserves such as Kirstenbosch, explore the Cango Caves, take in the dark yet inspiring history of Robben island, spot penguins Boulders beach and still have an endless list of must-sees to tick off the list.
There's also plenty of opportunity to simply relax in your luxury villa and soak up the sun. However one of the main attractions is the Winelands, featuring of some of the earliest European settlements set in beautiful surroundings. Driving through a countryside that contains Cape Dutch architecture adds to the pleasure that can be experienced during the many tasting tours - and the wine is world class too.
As well as being an excellent base for exploring all of the region's top attractions, our luxury villa in Western Cape is on an estate that boasts one of South Africa's finest 18-hole championship golf courses.
South African Cuisine
Informed by the cookery of South Africa's indigenous people and the influence of countless cultural variations bought in by waves of immigration, the cuisine Western Cape is varied and exciting. Whether you decide to cook for yourself using local produce in our luxury villa, or head out to the many excellent restaurants in the surrounding area, the culinary vibrancy here will delight any food lover. Cape Malay curry, bobotie, bunny chow and shisa nyama are just a few of the local dishes that will give you an insight into this diverse cooking culture.
