The Resort

Home to one of South Africa's five best golf courses, the Arabella Western Cape Hotel & Spa is an astounding destination that can be the focal point for an exploration of South Africa's glorious Garden Route and Western Cape. Within easy reach of Cape Town and the wine lands, the hotel falls under the Starwood Luxury Collection banner, which underlines the five-star deluxe concept.

The resort lies in the foothills of the Kogelberg Mountains and is fringed by the Bot River Lagoon, setting a stage of unrivalled natural beauty. It is here that the Arabella Western Cape becomes a heavenly retreat where impeccable service, sumptuous food and drink plus top class championship are assured.

Golf

Regarded by many to be the finest golf course on South Africa's spectacular Western Cape, Arabella is an extraordinary experience that begins with striking views of the Bot River Lagoon, alongside which it is routed, and the mountains rising the background.

Peter Matkovich, the man at the heart of many of South Africa's top courses, has blessed Arabella with an almighty championship layout, opened to acclaim in 1999, and which has since matured beautifully. The incredible views have drawn professionals and celebrities alike to experience Arabella, with highlights led by the 8th and 18th holes, which have been described as two of South Africa's most attractive.

Splendid facilities and country club style service are two further reasons to select Arabella as the destination for your next golf adventure in South Africa.
