HERMANUS BEAUTY

The most beautiful hotel in the most beautiful town, The Marine Hotel in Hermanus offers unparalleled first-class splendour and elegance. Thanks to its prime location on the cliffs, guests are treated to a phenomenal view of the Atlantic Ocean where whales frequent close to the shore. With a plethora of luxury amenities there is never a dull moment at this sumptuous spot.

The rooms and suites are individually and stylishly decorated and have magnificent views of the sea, the mountains or The Marine’s beautiful internal courtyard and finely manicured gardens. Stroll along the cliff path overlooking Hermanus Bay or have a dip in the tidal pool right in front of the hotel. Enjoy exquisite dining or sip a glass of local wine in the lounge, where there is nothing but 3,000 miles of ocean between you and the South Pole

Those with the taste for fine dining can indulge at the Marine Hotel’s phenomenal Restaurant where , guests are treated to the impressive bounty of the Overberg. Seasonal produce and local flavours combine to create marvellous culinary creations that take inspiration from the region.

Hermanus is a seaside haven with a history, too. Discover the museums, art galleries and quirky bookshops a short stroll from the hotel. The Fernkloof Nature Reserve is ideal for plant enthusiasts, hikers and family picnics, and places like Grotto Beach are great if you have little ones in tow. But chances are that whale watching is going to be top of your agenda. Get closer to these gentle giants, as well as seals, dolphins and penguins, on a boat tour from Hermanus. Or see it all from above with a magnificent flight over the bay. 

During whale season, from June until November, Hermanus offers some of the best land-based whale watching in the world and at The Marine you don’t even have to get out of bed to experience it.
