Today (January 23, 2017): Top 10\u00a0most luxurious hotels & lodges\u00a0in South Africa.<\/strong><\/h5>\n

South Africa – one\u00a0is the planet’s most hauntingly beautiful country\u00a0– holds\u00a0a special place in my heart since I spent part of medical training here.\u00a0The country\u00a0offers\u00a0an epic diversity of majestic landscapes, from the jagged peaks of the Drakensberg Mountains and the vast landscapes of the Karoo desert, to the stunning coastal scenery of the Cape Peninsula\u00a0and the endless savannas of the Kruger National Park. But it’s not only the unsurpassed natural scenery that travelers are raving about. Observing Africa’s Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and buffalo), whale watching, the enjoyable climate, delicious food, excellent wines, the world\u2019s most beautiful city<\/a>, and above all the warm hospitality of its diverse population make Mandela’s rainbow nation a must-see destination that should be on every traveler’s\u00a0bucket list. South Africa also harbours some of the finest and most luxurious hotels & lodges in the world that match the breathtaking scenery. To assist you in finding the ideal accommodation, I have compiled a top 10 list of my favorite hotels & lodges in South Africa.<\/p>\n

There is more\u00a0information (with reviews & Youtube clips) below the slide show.\u00a0Think I missed one? Share your favorite South African beach hotel\u00a0in the comments section<\/strong>, or take my poll<\/strong>\u00a0below!<\/p>\n

10. CAPE GRACE, CAPE TOWN<\/a><\/strong><\/h5>\n

Cape Grace provides the perfect V&A Waterfront setting for discovering Cape Town’s enviable location, which offers both centrality and privacy combined with unrivaled views of Table Mountain, the yacht marina and a working harbor. The essence of Cape Grace is an intrinsic desire to understand guests\u2019 needs so as to ensure truly memorable visits. Each one of the 121 guest rooms and suites is unique and has its own story to tell. Even the standard rooms are spacious here, with separate sitting areas, desks, complimentary high-speed internet, and cushioned headboards. Reminiscent of a glamorous Mediterranean yacht moored in the bay under the watchful gaze of the iconic Table Mountain, guests can also relax in an elegant and distinguished outdoor area that overlooks Cape Town\u2019s acclaimed yacht basin.<\/p>\n
