Tintswalo Atlantic

City
Cape Town, South Africa

Lying beside the cold waters of the Atlantic, this elegant lodge looks out from the foot of Chapman’s Peak, towards the iconic Sentinel. Panoramic ocean views greet visitors to this secluded retreat, located within the boundaries of a World Heritage Site.

Re-born and refurbished, the property has been re-built from the ashes of a fire that gutted it in early 2015. The lodge stayed true to its character, retaining its staff and its environmentally sensitive design. Unobtrusive, it blends into its wonderful surrounds.

Situated amongst magnificent natural beauty, 11 individually styled suites face the mesmeric waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Named after islands around the world, these elegant rooms are beautifully appointed – decorated with care and character.

Why we like Tintswalo Atlantic

A seaside property within easy reach of Cape Town, Tintswalo Atlantic is remarkable for its stunning location. Combining mountain views with ocean vistas, it offers an extraordinary experience that can be found in few other places. The lodge is not only uniquely positioned amidst natural beauty, but it is also run with care and passion, in a way that emphasises personalised hospitality.
