Marie Claire Travel: On Location, Cape Town

WE STAYED AT...

Cape Grace, an elegant five-star hotel on the V&A Waterfront. With new interiors inspired by the Cape’s rich flora and Dutch colonial heritage, it comes with a heated pool, spa and award-winning restaurant. Double rooms cost from £350, including breakfast, and offer views of the harbour or Table Mountain.

WHILE YOU’RE THERE...

Take the cable car up Table Mountain and a trip across the bay to Robben Island, Nelson Mandela’s former prison. Go on a picnic or sunset cruise aboard Cape Grace hotel’s luxury motor yacht, ‘Spirit of the Cape’. Buy arts and crafts in Pan African Market (76 Long Street). Dine like a queen at Savoy Cabbage and Summerville in Camps Bay. Enjoy a scenic helicopter flight.

WE FLEW TO...

Cape Town from London Heathrow. With terrific beaches, a warm climate and no jet lag, the city is a great winter escape. In December, flights with British Airways cost from £984 return, including taxes.
