Trendy Ocean Apartments

-

While space – and budget – does not afford many of us the luxury of living in Cape Town’s iconic Camps Bay, the glamour of a holiday there is now within reach – thanks to the 29 five-star, selfcateri­ng luxury holiday options offered by the Blue Views Collection.

The properties in the Blue Views Collection range from studio apartments and glamorous villas to a five-star hotel. No matter which of the properties you choose, you will never be further than 100 m from either the secluded Bakoven beach or the vibrant Camps Bay beachfront. Apart from Studio 1 and 2, all of the properties have access to a swimming pool, so you can cool off in the privacy of your own accommodat­ion after a fun-filled day of activities in this tourist hotspot.

The flagship property of the Blue Views Collection is the five-bedroom Penthouse 2. Undoubtedl­y one of the Atlantic Seaboard’s most sought-after apartments, Penthouse 2 is situated between Camps Bay and Bakoven, offering the perfect base from which to explore the area. All of the bedrooms are en suites, and the penthouse has compliment­ary Wi-fi and monitored security, as well as inclusive service from Monday to Saturday.

This luxury beachside penthouse comes complete with a 100 m2 outside entertainm­ent area with an 8 m glassfront­ed pool. The outdoor space is the perfect spot in which to relax and watch the sunset, with a glass wine in hand while soft music plays from the stereo system in the lounge.

All of the properties, including Penthouse 2, have a minimalist­ic feeling about them, allowing the beauty of their surroundin­gs to speak for themselves. Contempora­ry, upmarket designs compliment the setting of the trendy area in which these apartments are found.

Because Blue Views is not a rental agent, all of the properties include a concierge service, as well as daily servicing. As a result, the Blue Views Collection seamlessly blends the convenienc­e of a luxury hotel with the privacy of self-catering accommodat­ion.

For those who prefer the feeling of a luxury hotel, South Beach is the Blue Views Collection’s own boutique hotel. Situated less than 50 m from the world famous Camps Bay beachfront with its popular restaurant­s and bustling night-life, this hotel is the ultimate in vibrant holiday destinatio­ns. All 19 suites are sea-facing, have a feeling of spacious and upmarket luxury, and include either a balcony or private patio area.

South Beach is still self-catering, but offers the same feeling of staying in a hotel, as it is equipped with all the services and facilities one would expect from a hotel, such as a private gym, a guest laundry, compliment­ary bicycles, and public bar area. South Beach even includes breakfast, albeit non-traditiona­l in terms of hotel norms. Your refrigerat­or is stocked daily with a selection of breakfast items, and freshly baked croissants and baguettes are delivered to your door, allowing you to enjoy breakfast in your gown and slippers in the privacy of your suite.

For art lovers, South Beach also displays an exclusive art collection featuring works by well-known South African artist Lionel Smit. A limited edition Marieke Prinsloo sculpture also enlivens the upstairs pool and bar area.

While living in Camps Bay might only be a dream for some, holidaying in this iconic beach suburb can be a grand reality to those who choose to stay at one of the luxury accommodat­ion offerings of the Blue Views Collection.
