Nestled deep in the heart of the Kogelberg Biosphere, a breath-taking 1 hour and 15 minutes' drive from Cape Town, is the unique Arabella Hotel & Spa. Located 30 minutes' drive from the world-renowned whale watching haven of Hermanus, the region enjoys pure champagne air and quite possibly the most stunning scenery the picturesque Western Cape has to offer. The hotel itself offers the ultimate in luxury and a wealth of leisure and business options.
The fabled Championship Arabella Golf Course has once again been ranked Top 10 in South Africa.
The unique luxury resort, acclaimed as a leisure destination, is also considered to be one of the Western Cape's premier event and conference facilities.
Conferences, board meetings, team building functions, product launches and social events are arranged with consummate professionalism and catered for in a variety of luxurious, easily configurable venues, all architecturally designed to harness natural light and allow the beauty of the environment to lend a unique ambience to professional and social engagements.
The Arabella Spa, voted as one of the '100 best Spas of the World' provides the full gamut of relaxation and beauty therapies from around the world. Reclaim your sense of self at the award-winning spa or indulge in the heated indoor hydro-pool and outdoor lap pool, sauna, steam room and the crystalline waters of the swimming pool.
Other activities include horse riding, mountain biking, quad biking, canoeing or a visit to the nearby penguin breeding colony. Of course a firm favourite between June and December is whale watching from the Old Harbour in Hermanus, where Southern Right Whales frolic in the clear water just off the rocks.
Guests have a choice of fine dining in Jamani Buffet or Jamani Al la Carte Restaurant, offering contemporary cuisine and the option of eating outside on the terrace. Alternatively they may prefer the relaxed atmosphere of the Laguna Lounge. Bars include the Laughing Waters Pool Bar at the swimming pool, Barnabas Bar or the sophisticated Cristobal's Cigar Bar.
