Strandloper Ocean Boutique Hotel
Where Serenity Meets the Sea: Discover a Luxurious West Coast Retreat
The award-winning Strandloper Ocean is a fusion of beach style and contemporary luxury, with organic lines, hues and textures with an overall feeling of simplicity. Interiors are silent - they do not compete with what is outside but instead showcase the natural splendour of this unique coastline. All rooms are appointed with organic furnishings that reflect the surrounding natural environment of wood, stone and washed colours. The barefoot luxury is understated with clean lines, pure linens and a neutral palette of textures that are uncluttered and soothing. It is a place of wild beauty and wide white beaches washed by an ocean that’s cool and enigmatic where past and present meet.
