"Tintswalo Atlantic, which originally opened 15 years ago, has finally reopened following damage from an extensive fire in 2019. Though it’s always been a low-key hideaway that’s attracted high-end travelers, it’s now arguably better than ever. Given the hotel’s remote and picturesque location beside the ocean, wedged between Table Mountain National Park and Chapman’s Peak, this place is a showstopper. The spacious suites have private ocean-facing terraces, fireplaces, and chandeliers that dangle from exposed wood ceilings. This retreat is a 25-minute drive from Cape Town, but guests needn’t wander far for a fine dining experience. The hotel is home to a Chef’s Warehouse restaurant run by culinary king Liam Tomlin. Even if you don’t stay here, be sure to book a tapas tasting menu and enjoy such oceanic treasures as fresh oysters and seared tuna." - Mary Holland
