City resort with Table Mountain in its backyard, One&Only offers exclusive luxury in the heart of the Gay Capital.
Watch NowThis award-winning hotel has possibly the best address in Cape Town, set in the heart of the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront, one of the biggest tourist attractions in South Africa. Many travellers only dream of one day seeing Table Mountain in real life. However, at One&Only Cape Town, you'll wake up to it.
With sophisticated African flair design promoting elevated contemporary living, they craft the experience from start to finish to ensure a highly entertaining, memorable stay. And you'll leave your mark as giving back is interwoven into everything the resort does, including their many wildlife conservation programs and more.
One&Only Cape Town is ideally located in South Africa's gay capital, right in the heart of the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront, with Table Mountain protruding proudly in the background. The Victoria & Alfred Waterfront is a hub of entertainment with art galleries, restaurants, bars, and much more. Since it's located in South Africa, you can rest assured that the city is very gay-friendly and progressive.
Located in South Africa, Cape Town is known as the 'Gay Capital'. This nickname alone should indicate to you how accepting the South Africans are to LGBTQ+ travellers! In fact, the country is very progressive for an African nation. South Africa was the first country to outlaw sexual orientation discrimination and the fifth globally to legalise being gay. Same-sex marriage is also legal. Welcome to the Mother City, welcome to the Gay Capital!
Where do we start! The Victoria & Alfred Waterfront offers anything from historical tours, sundowner boat trips, shopping at stylish galleries and boutiques, and ferry trips to Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned. If you're an art enthusiast, the Zeitz MOCCAA is the largest museum showcasing contemporary African art. Something the little ones will love is the Two Oceans Aquarium, where you can see all the wondrous aquatic life. Guests at One&Only Cape Town also get the chance to experience an exclusive 90-minutes up-close turtle tour at the aquarium to learn more about how they rescue, rehabilitate, and release loggerhead and leatherback turtles.
Cape Town's peak season is from December to April, as this is the summer season. The summer also comes with some wind, so go in February and March if you want less wind. However, Cape Town is a year-round destination, so you can really go whenever suits you! If you want a quieter experience, plan your trip around March to May. From June to August, you can expect rainy days during the winter, but the weather starts to warm up from August to October, and the whales make their annual appearance on the coastline.
