Expect the highest standard of service and impressive facilities including contemporary decor, sparkling pool, tapas restaurant and cocktail bar, as well as exquisite interiors. The venue has won the hearts of many guests and travellers as it brings style and sophistication to any occasion, villa style holiday or business meeting. Custom guest packages are available and tailor-made to suit specific needs offering versatility and flexibility.

Savvy electronics

Bliss is also the very first hotel in Africa to offer guests a tech savvy means of accessing their beautiful rooms! This allows guests to open their rooms with their phones by simply holding the phone in front of an electronic pad on the door.

Once a room is booked and paid, an invite to download the blue tooth application is sent to a guests phone from Bliss.

Tranquility and breathtaking views

Once a guest steps out to enjoy the view they’ll have the opportunity to revel in the calm location of Bliss Boutique Hotel’s natural Fynbos reserve and vast stretch of sandy white beach, and expansive sea views from a different perspective. The Atlantic Seaboard may be popular, but busy hotels mean guests jostle for space – and peace - along this crowded strip. Sunset Beach, however, looks onto Table Bay – as well as the beautiful Atlantic Ocean – but is far more tranquil.

Adventure packed

However it’s still adventure-packed - world-renowned for kite surfing and wind surfing, both activities are literally on Bliss Boutique Hotel’s doorstep. It also boasts views of significant South African landmarks; the glorious Table Mountain and on a clear day and you’ll see Robben Island across the bay. For nature-lovers, the Rietvlei Wetland surrounding Sunset Beach is rich with bird life and best enjoyed from a comfortable deck chair on the property’s rooftop.

Luxury in creature comforts

The hotel’s interior is a visual delight too; the sophisticated décor is modern, elegant and minimalist however injected with strikingly colourful artwork by Micheala Rinaldi and design elements, all of which have been locally sourced.

All eight of the luxurious rooms are stocked with specific delicious and thoughtfully considered mini bar snacks. Each room has a large flat screen TV, DSTV decoder with a full bouquet of channels, separate speaker system, Nespresso Machine, electronic safe, telephone, individual air-conditioning, full internet access and there’s room service on demand.

Outside, guests can enjoy the relaxing and secluded pool area, with a swimming and splash pool, surrounded by a wooden deck. And because the views are so spectacular, sundowners sipped in hammock chairs on the viewing deck provides instant calm. So too does the private beach accessed with a room card, a magnificent backdrop to a meal alfresco.

The space allows visitors to take full advantage of the property’s prime positioning too – an expansive view of Cape Town’s natural beauty from a different and unspoiled perspective.
