Arniston Spa Hotel

The Arniston Spa Hotel is set in one of the Capes most exquisite locations, next to an old fishing village, surrounded by pristine beaches and nature reserves. The luxurious 4 Star Arniston Spa Hotel is internationally known as one of the worlds great getaways.

The luxurious 60 en-suite rooms are all elegantly decorated with the comforts of a world-class hotel. Most rooms have fireplaces for those cosy winter evenings. Our deluxe sea-facing rooms have private balconies with panoramic ocean views. The patio-facing rooms open onto a tranquil garden and swimming pool with sun loungers.

Unforgettable, seductive Arniston, where time stands still and whales play in the sheltered bay. You may just want to relax to the rhythm of the sea or you may want to swim, fish or snorkel at one of our safe and unspoilt beaches. There are many beautiful hikes on endless shores and dunes. An abundance of natural life makes bird-watching a pleasure. And each year from June to November, the Southern Right whales make Arniston Bay their home, delighting visitors with excellent whale watching.

We offer full conference facilities with state-of-the-art equipment for up to 100 delegates. Because of our location, the Arniston Spa Hotel is a romantic wedding venue that can cater for all your special needs.

Reviews

  • "Non hotel guests gets preference over hotel guests"

    09 August 2021

    "On the big Springbok test 07/08/2021, Hotel guests could not use Bar/fireplace area, since outsiders took over this area, well over permitted Government promulgated allowed numbers. When I complaint, management merely told me that we could have gone to our rooms to watch the game. Why give outsiders preference to hotel facilities? Allowed kids to run around without masks too. How could this Hotel overlook these illegal acts? Is it for profits sake? They have the best location and great views, but their disregard for legislation is a great concern."

  • "Wonderful place!"

    28 August 2016

    "This was our first time at the Arniston Hotel and it took us completely by surprise. We were expecting a homely, comfortable hotel but it was far more than that. Our room was big, beautifully appointed and immaculate and the sea view from the second floor was simply magnificent. The friendly staff, well stocked bar and lovely restaurant added to our enjoyment. We feel we enjoyed a couple of days or real luxury at what was an excellent price, albeit at the tail end of winter.<br/><br/>With very little in the way of shops or restaurants outside of the hotel you would be concerned that the hotel would take full advantage ... but the value for money here is excellent. Thank you and well done!"

  • "Paradise found!"

    29 February 2016

    "What a pleasure to stay at this hotel. The staff are all friendly and very efficient. The hotel is in the most beautiful setting, overlooking the bay in Arniston. It has a relaxed seaside feel to it. The hotel has complimentary bicycles for their guests to use, A wonderful way to see Arniston. The room also has complimentary Sherry for its guests. Every night you get a little card to tell you the time of low tide, so that you can time your walk to a beautiful sea cave called Waenhuiskrans Cave. Arniston is paradise for nature lovers and people who want peace and tranquility. We will definitely be back!"

  • "Relaxing stay"

    30 June 2014

    "We were impressed with the friendly, helpful staff and well appointed room"

  • "Lovely spot"

    21 June 2014

    "There aren't many places to stay In Arniston so the hotel is the best bet. We booked in winter and booked a room with a fireplace. Were quite disappointing to hear renovations were happening so couldn't have the fireplace that time around. Seems a bit silly to renovate your fireplace rooms in winter. Nevertheless, our room was lovely - sea facing with underfloor heating. It's the perfect spot to watch the fishermen leave in the mornings on their boats.The restaurant dining experience was mediocre. Everyone tells me about the famous bouillabaisse soup that is now not available on the menu anymore, however the breakfasts were good. Friendly staff. Will be back ."
