St Helena Bay Hotel – A Coastal Gem in Transformation

Nestled in the heart of South Africa’s picturesque West Coast fishing village, St Helena Bay Hotel is only a scenic two-hour drive from Cape Town and Cape Town International Airport. Our beloved landmark is currently under an exciting renovation, and we can’t wait to welcome you to a whole new era of seaside relaxation. Come as you are, stay as long as you like, and watch our little hotel grow. St Helena Bay Hotel is a place to slow down, connect, and enjoy the rare beauty of a bay where the sun greets you at dawn and bids you farewell at dusk.

Coming Soon!

We’re excited to share with some spaces we’re working on to make your stay at Saint Helena Bay Hotel a breeze, especially for those slow mornings and golden evenings:

A brand-new spa for easy, ocean-inspired pampering.

A rooftop cocktail lounge where you can watch the sun both rise and set over the same bay—something you can see in only a handful of places worldwide and some live music. This area will be open to our guests who would want to have a drink and enjoy a cigarette, cigar or two.

Saint Helena Bay Saloon Bar

One of the oldest bars in the bay, it still carries the easy spirit of the fishermen who first gathered here after a long day at sea. The pub has recently been refreshed and now features new high-definition TVs, making it the perfect place to watch live rugby and other big games. Stop in for an ice-cold drink, cheer on your team with fellow travelers and locals, or simply settle in and swap sea stories beside the timeless West Coast atmosphere.
