Private Villa Living Suspended Between Sea, City and Sky

Floating above Bantry Bay, the villas offer complete privacy, with dedicated hospitality teams, infinity pools and generous living spaces shaped by art, architecture and uninterrupted Atlantic views in almost every direction.

Contemporary residences designed for gathering, privacy and slower coastal living

Entirely separate from the main house, the villas offer a more contemporary side of Ellerman House. Glass, stone and open-plan living blur the line between indoors and the ocean beyond, while private chefs, dedicated hospitality teams and expansive entertaining spaces create the feeling of a home above Bantry Bay rather than a place to stay.

Space and Design

Framed by glass and open to the horizon, each villa welcomes in light, sea air and ever-changing ocean views. Generous living spaces flow naturally outdoors, creating a sense of openness, ease and privacy.

Privacy and Exclusivity

Each villa is entirely your own, reserved exclusively for you and your guests. With no shared spaces and no interruptions, the experience allows for complete privacy and the freedom to settle into each day at your own pace.

Dedicated Living

A private team, including a chef and host, takes care of every detail behind the scenes. Dining, daily routines and personal preferences are shaped around you, creating an experience that feels effortless, intuitive and entirely your own.

Time Together

Designed for families and groups of friends, the villas offer space to come together as easily as they offer room to retreat. Long lunches, shared evenings and slow mornings become part of an experience that feels natural and unhurried.

A Day in the Villa

Mornings begin with Atlantic light filtering through the house while the city still feels far away. The day unfolds entirely at your own pace, from relaxed breakfasts and afternoons by the pool to evenings spent gathered around the table, with open views and the familiar feeling of being completely at home.

The Villas

Designed for multigenerational families and groups of friends, the villas unfold across multiple levels of living, dining and entertainment space. Infinity pools, private cinemas, social kitchens and expansive terraces create a residential experience centred on privacy, connection and uninterrupted Atlantic views.

Your Stay The Villas

From contemporary architecture and private hospitality teams to infinity pools overlooking the ocean, each villa offers its own way of experiencing Cape Town.

The House

Individually designed rooms and suites unfold through layered interiors, original art and welcoming shared spaces, where the atmosphere feels personal, lived-in and closely connected to the history and character of the house.
