Each of the 10 private villas at this five-star hotel and spa is an exercise in luxe living – from private pools to custom-designed furniture and contemporary art bedecking the walls. The most luxurious is the 130m2 Owner’s Lodge, with its romantic fireplace. Request breakfast on your deck and enjoy the endless valley views, but be sure to factor in time for a spa treatment or lunch on the terrace at Indochine, where relaxed cuisine and a lively atmosphere ensure lunches are long and lazy.
Rates are from R6 600 per lodge.
