As South Africa reopens borders for GCC travellers, One&Only Cape Town offers curated experiences with unprecedented access to the city
Consistently voted as one of the best travel destinations in the world, Cape Town is an engaging and vibrant city, for every type of traveller. Whether a city break, an adventure, a romantic getaway or a family vacation, Cape Town has an abundance to offer throughout the year. One&Only Cape Town prides itself on personalised service, and ensuring their guests see and experience only the best of what is important to them - opening doors to places, people and memories not always accessible to, or known by, other visitors to the city. Through One&Only, travellers will go beyond that which is visible to all, they will get a real sense of Cape Town and its residents and will quickly understand why it holds the hearts of so many. The resort has conceptualised and curated a number of experiences available exclusively to guests. TASTE OF SOUTH AFRICA Cape Town is considered one of the best wine-producing regions in the world.

Nobu Cape Town offers an exciting Masterclass where guests can learn how to prepare Nobu’s signature dishes and enjoy sensational Sake pairings. AT ONE WITH NATURE Guests at One&Only Cape Town can practice yoga atop one of the most iconic landmarks, the ancient and majestic Table Mountain.
