SOUTH BEACH, CAMPS BAY
South Beach, part of The Blue
Views Collection, has officially
announced

that

in

September

2016 it will be adding 10 more
five-star suites including two onebedroom apartments – one with
a private pool – as an extension
to the property, which currently
comprises nine sea-facing suites.
The first phase was developed in
2014, and is situated just 50m from
the Camps Bay beachfront.
The 2nd phase of this Miami Beachstyle development, designed by
Greg Wright Architects, will offer
the same unique experience that
all existing Blue Views’ suites
and villas provide to guests: selfcatering
the

accommodation

convenience,

comfort

with
and

attention-to-detail of a luxury hotel.

Set at the heart of Clifton, the prestigious development consists of 10 three- to fourbedroom residences, and above these two five-bedroom penthouse villas and will set
a new benchmark for residential development on the upslope side of Victoria Road.
The design process involved in-depth collaboration with the City of Cape Town and
Victoria Road neighbours, to integrate landscaping to ensure minimal intrusion to and
from the apartments.
SAOTA’s cascading façade ensures each residence is orientated to maximise views
as well as privacy, with the penthouse villas set back to ensure discrete seclusion behind
a large, elevated garden.
An easy-living flow is achieved through the large, open-plan entertainment and living
areas to the sea-facing terrace of each residence. Interior spaces are sophisticated and
inviting, showcasing natural finishes, textures and warm, neutral tones to subtly amplify
the effortless, organic sense of luxury; premium hardwood flooring, which may be heated
for off-season comfort, imparts barefoot sensuality and maximises the experience of
indoor-outdoor terrace living.
The expansive master bedrooms are furnished with walk-in closets and generous
bathrooms. A soft, nature-inspired colour palette, cottons, linens, raw timber, stone and
marble against a backdrop of fresh white walls will give these private spaces a natural,
calm serenity.
