Glistening white sandy beaches and azure ocean fringe this trendy and affluent suburb
The upmarket Cape Town suburb called Clifton is a paradise of secluded beaches between granite boulders. It lies between Sea Point and Camps Bay, two of Cape Town’s most renowned locations, and is only ten minutes away from the city centre, making it an ideal place to visit. Clifton has a reputation for being the gathering place of the trendy and glamorous. You’ll soon see why as you walk along its 4 immaculate beaches of white sands and glistening waters, paired with an incredible fynbos-mountain backdrop.

Best time to go to
The best time to visit Clifton is from October to April when sun-seekers can enjoy lovely warm days with extended daylight hours. These hot summer days are ideal for swimming in the chilly waters and lazing on the beach, especially since Clifton beaches are protected from the wind. The hottest months are December and January, and so it’s also peak time for the Clifton area.

I'm very thankful for my first Viatu experience. The 3-week trip across Namibia combined incredible landscapes and nature, mindblowing eco-friendly lodges and utter peace of mind. The organisation and support of the Viatu team were spot-on - this is the way to impress. Thanks a lot!
