South Africa is the honeymooner’s paradise. From the breathtaking landscape of the iconic and imposing Table Mountain to the natural wildlife, the country offers an abundance of beauty. Stay at luxurious POD Hotel for the ultimate romantic repose with its clean lines and chic modernity to take in the stunning panorama of Camps Bay as you look out at the sunset with your beloved. Should you look for something a little more action-packed on your honeymoon then take a trip out to Dyer Island and tempt fate swimming with sharks. But wherever you get your honeymoon thrills, South Africa has it all.
The Beaches
Head to Noordhoek beach for guaranteed ‘quality time,’ undisturbed in the vast expanse of white sands; Camps Bay offers a total of four Clifton beaches on the other hand, but we recommend number four as the most buzzing. Muizenberg is the bohemian’s beach so whether you are a fan of surfing or just relaxing with your loved one, the Western Cape has plenty to offer.
The Stay
POD – Treat yourself to modern luxury in this contemporary chic hotel. With interiors to die for, and a vista to match, it is the perfect honeymoon retreat to indulge, be spoilt and think about nothing but being together.
The Must-Dos
To Tell the Grandkids: Conquer your fears and swim with great white sharks off the coast of Cape Town at Dyer Island. Definitely something to try once, just remember to hold your nose and keep all limbs within the cage...
A Meal to Remember: Head to Africa Café for a taste of local, authentic cuisine in this vibrant little eatery – they even have their very own Zulu room with paper chicken lamps.
Insider's Tip: the soothing bulbinella plant of South Africa is said to help sooth mosquito bites – much like a dock leaf to a nettle sting. So if you come across a garlicky, clovey-looking plant and have been plighted by the itches then here's a natural solution (maybe double check first before you apply though!).
