Situated along the Garden Route, Plettenberg Bay boasts a year-round temperate climate, pristine beaches and dense green forests culminating in the ultimate destination for focussing on health and wellness. A myriad of exhilarating outdoor activities is available in the area, alongside pampering spa treatments and delicious, healthy food, and the warm hospitality and cosy comfort of this 5-star hotel overlooking the ocean.
From sea-facing suites to plentiful opportunities for R&R and sunset beach strolls on any of the six Blue Flag beaches – a majestic break awaits. The Royal Breakaway & Wellness package includes luxurious accommodation and a bottle of wine on arrival, daily turndown, as well as a delicious breakfast the next morning, served in the privacy of your own room or in the Restaurant. In addition, the package includes R500 credit to be used in the spa or restaurant. (Rates from R4500 per room per night). For a well-deserved, longer break, consider the ‘Stay 4 nights and pay for 3 nights’ option, or the ‘Stay 7 nights and pay for 5 nights’ package, both inclusive of luxury accommodation, complimentary WiFi, full English breakfast daily and a bottle of wine on arrival.
The Fresh Wellness Spa offers opportunities for a little pampering, perhaps after working up a sweat at the new on-site gym. A wide range of skin and body treatments are available, including touch therapies and spa packages. Fans of cold-water therapy have the ocean right on their doorstep to add a healthy dose of Vitamin Sea to the holiday or take the plunge in your choice of the hotel’s two swimming pools, one of which is heated all year round.
Explore the Robberg Nature Reserve on foot, or venture further afield as the great outdoors has never been more accessible, thanks to the new Plett Camino route. There are many scenic tracks in the area where adventures await hikers, runners, walkers and mountain bikers. The new Plett Trails app offers a comprehensive, easy-to-use guide to not only the best, but also the lesser-known trails of the area.
Returning to The Plettenberg, world-class cuisine is served at The Restaurant where Head Chef Kyle Macaskill makes it easy for those who like to maintain a healthy lifestyle, even whilst on holiday. Diners can look forward to fresh, light and nourishing dishes on a menu that includes the Plettenberg Caesar Salad, Dukkah Spiced Ostrich, and abundant ocean treasures served in the Fisherman’s Seafood Platter.
As part of the Small Luxury Hotels of the World, The Plettenberg’s barefoot luxury and genuine hospitality extends to the whole family, welcoming children and well-travelled canine family members who are also treated as VIPs. Two private villas are available adjacent to the hotel, perfectly suitable for families travelling together, or for those seeking sanctuary and a little more privacy.
