Hey girl… been dreaming about plane tickets lately? We know, we read your thoughts!
Luckily for you, the trip of a lifetime is waiting for you and your girlfriends this December! Instead of spending another Christmas in the cold, open presents on a warm peninsula beach to make your winter memories even warmer.
Our idea of an ideal Capetown getaway looks like this:
Day 1- Arrival
Arrive in Cape Town and meet your driver for a private transfer to your hotel. Check in, unpack, and take some time to rest after your flight. In the evening, you'd head out to a nice dinner.
Our dinner recommendation - Tang restaurant: Expect upscale contemporary Japanese fine dining with delicious crafted cocktails and photogenic plates; served up at one of the most chic settings in the city.
Day 2- Cape Town City Tour
Start the day with a guided city tour to get oriented. Visit key areas of Cape Town, including Bo-Kaap with its colorful homes, and stop at some of the best viewpoints in the city.
Our lunch recommendation - Mulberry and Prince: Don’t underestimate this hidden gem! Mulberry and Prince has a reputation for consistently punching above its weight in terms of innovative food which compares with the best the city has to offer.
Our dinner recommendation - Gold restaurant: The experience is a true celebration of African culture and cuisine with a set multi-course, all-you-can-eat menu to match. Think drumming, dancing, singing, and African drumming, dancing, singing and music for the full experience!
Day 3- Table Mountain & Sunset Sail
Weather permitting, take the cable car up Table Mountain for sweeping views of Cape Town and the coastline. After some free time in the afternoon, the day ends with a sunset sailing experience from the waterfront - a calm way to see the city from the water as the sun goes down.
Day 4- Cape Peninsula Day Trip
This full-day tour takes you along one of the most scenic coastlines in the world. Visit Boulders Beach to see the penguins, explore Cape Point, and enjoy a relaxed day outside the city.
Our dinner recommendation - Paranga by Kove Collection: The ultimate Camps Bay Beach dining experience. Paranga is known for its fresh seafood, sushi, Mediterranean-inspired cuisine, and stunning oceanfront views.
Day 5- Free Day
Every day shouldn’t require planning and prepping… you do enough of that at work. Instead, take day 5 as your day to truly revel in the luxury of doing absolutely nothing; it’s what you went on vacation for!
Our dinner recommendation - Fyn Restaurant: One of Africa's top-ranked restaurants; FYN delivers an exceptional fine dining experience that blends Japanese techniques with the delicious traditional flavors of local South African ingredients.
Day 6- Full Day Safari
Head out for a full-day safari at a nearby game reserve. Enjoy guided game drives, wildlife viewing, and lunch at the lodge before returning to Cape Town in the evening.
Day 7- Wine Tour + Beach Club
This day blends two of Cape Town's best experiences at a comfortable, realistic pace. You'll start with a half-day visit to the Winelands for wine tasting and beautiful scenery. After returning to Cape Town, you head to Cabo Beach Club in Camps Bay for a relaxed afternoon and sunset.
