It is a perfect location for the discerning traveller who seeks something both benefiting and inspiring to ones inner well being. Plettenberg Park has played host to many such travellers such as Nelson Mandela and Richard Branson amongst many others.

Open spaces and the symmetry of both natural and man made structures play many roles at Plettenberg Park, not only in terms of the panoramic views across the ocean and savannah but also within the architecture of the hotel itself. Plettenberg Park is an all weather hotel, brilliant in summer sunshine with spectacular views of the ocean, whilst in winter experience the wild, blustery and enveloping days with log fires and wraps. The interior of the hotel is somewhat contemporary, with an air of sophistication mixed with local design.  The architecture is refreshingly simple with long lines running unobtrusively the length of the building resulting in spacious and wide terraces. The décor consists of natural materials and neutral tones that permeate throughout. Most of the rooms in the hotel are seafacing, with views of the beautiful coastline. Rooms contain large sleigh beds with all the ameninties you would expect of a hotel of this calibre.
