The Twelve Apostles Hotel and Spa

Cape Town, South Africa

Overview

Take the scenic route to the Twelve Apostles Hotel & Spa - it's impossible not to.

Surrounded by flora and fynbos-framed trails, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and neighbored by the Twelve Apostles and Table Mountain, this staggeringly beautiful hotel sits in one of the most prized locations in the world. Marvel at iridescent sunsets from your ocean-facing suite, or choose a deluxe guest room facing the majestic mountains - each and every accommodation is an elegant oasis, complete with an indulgent soap and pillow menu. From the Leopard Bar’s terrace, scan the horizon for breaching whales. Explore Camps Bay and the V&A Waterfront. Spend the day swimming, sipping, and spa-ing. Cape Town’s best beaches are just minutes away, including three with Blue Flag status (meaning they are among the best in the world). The serene spa offers Mountainside Spa Gazebos to enhance the wellness journey with dreamy sea views. Later, there’s award-winning dining at Azure Restaurant, where exceptional Cape cuisine celebrates the bountiful fresh produce of the region.

Poised above the Atlantic Ocean and flanked by the majestic Twelve Apostles Mountain range and the Table Mountain National Park. The hotel is situated on one of the world’s most celebrated scenic routes, with iridescent sunsets that are the best in Cape Town.

The Twelve Apostles Hotel and Spa boast its very own helipad. Scenic helicopter flights are available from V&A Waterfront and over the spectacular Atlantic Seaboard back to the hotel. It’s even possible to pair your flight with a signature Twelve Apostles experience such as a classic High Tea or relaxing 60-minute massage.

How We Travel for Good

At Bushmans Kloof Wilderness Reserve & Wellness Retreat, The Oyster Box and The Twelve Apostles Hotel and Spa, sustainability is embedded in our approach to hospitality, balancing exceptional guest experiences with responsible environmental and social practices.

Our commitment focuses on reducing environmental impact, supporting local communities, protecting biodiversity, and celebrating the natural and cultural heritage of Southern Africa. Across our properties, we prioritise responsible sourcing, waste reduction initiatives, resource conservation, and meaningful community engagement.

All three properties hold EarthCheck Silver Certification, recognising our commitment to environmental and social responsibility through independently verified assessment and continuous improvement.

Conservation is a particularly important focus at Bushmans Kloof. Located within the Cape Floral Region, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and recognised as a South African National Heritage Site, the reserve is a custodian of more than 130 ancient San rock art sites. Through partnerships with organisations including the Cape Leopard Trust, alongside initiatives supporting the Clanwilliam cedar tree, indigenous wildlife and habitat restoration, Bushmans Kloof plays an active role in protecting the region’s unique biodiversity and cultural heritage.

Across the collection, we also support wider conservation and community initiatives, including Rhino conservation efforts and responsible tourism programmes that create positive impacts for local communities. Through meaningful guest experiences, we encourage a deeper appreciation of the landscapes, wildlife and cultures that make Southern Africa unique.

Through measurable actions, strategic partnerships and responsible hospitality practices, we remain committed to creating a positive impact for our guests, colleagues, communities and the environment.
