“Contemplating the teeming life of the shore, we have an uneasy sense of the communication of some universal truth that lies just beyond our grasp… the ultimate mystery of Life itself.” - Rachel Carson: Meditation on the Ocean and the Meaning of Life.

It's A Private Affair
Posted on Thu May 2, 2024.
Our life journeys are experience-filled; moments creating lifelong memories. A villa stay is synonymous with exclusivity and flexibility. The precious opportunity to first-handedly tailor-make those special moments with loved ones.
Our 27 year villa journey has led us to A PRIVATE AFFAIR, a series of bespoke experiences, enthralling activities and customised trips that offer our guests indelible adventures.
We have selected some pretty amazing things to do, see, taste and try - from in-villa experiences such as distilling your own gin from micro stills, tasting rare vintages with a sommelier, food theatre with a private chef, wellness treatments and personal coaches; to outdoor adventures such as wild yoga on Table Mountain, discovering nature with the fynbos whisperer, an exclusive ceramics class with award-winning local African ceramicists, cooking classes and lunches in local Capetonians' homes... and so much more!
Explore your next adventure with us:
REST YOUR (SUIT)CASE
Sometimes the best escapes are the ones that allow you to just stay put for a while. A villa stay offers everything that a hotel stay does, and so much more. In the privacy of your own sanctuary, let the world come to you - on your own time.
LEARN A NEW SKILL
Immerse yourself during your travels by learning a new skill; be it testing your creative skills with ceramics, distilling your own gin in the convenience of your villa, or learning how to cook a traditionally South African meal.
A FESTIVAL OF FLAVOURS
At True Luxury Villas we believe that life is about discovering new tastes; every bite should be part of your sensory journey through South Africa. The epicurean experiences we offer are not only enjoyable, but also educational.
FEED YOUR WANDERLUST
We have partnered with leading Cape adventure and touring companies to bring you a range of unforgettable day trips and experiences that offer once-in-a-lifetime adventures.
REBOOT, RECHARGE, UNWIND
Unplug to recharge. Indulge in a massage in the privacy of your own villa, or opt to be active with a personal trainer or yoga instructor, whether indoors or out and about exploring your beautiful surrounds.

In their famous letters to each other, Vita Sackville-West once wrote to Virginia Woolf: ‘An amphitheater of mountains encloses one’s horizons and one’s footsteps. Today I climbed up to the eternal snows, and there found bright yellow poppies braving alike the glacier and the storm; and was ashamed before their courage… This is how one ought to feel, I am convinced’. To travel is to explore not only this world but also...

Slow travel or slow tourism, as some calls it, has gained popularity due to its alignment with the changing values and priorities of modern travellers. It is an approach where the traveller is deliberate in their planning, unhurried in their meanders and authentic with their intentions. It asks of you to embark on a journey where you stay a little longer, get to know the local culture and embrace a more sustainable,...
