17th April 2009 Print
If you want to sleep in the same bed as Naomi Campbell, share a sun lounger with Matt Damon or wine and dine on the same table as Thandi Newton then it can only be ‘One&Only’. The stylish new property in Cape Town has officially been given the celebrity seal of approval.

The resort’s chairman, Sol Kerzner - the man behind Atlantis The Palm in Dubai, welcomed celebrity guests including Clint Eastwood, Sharon Stone and Morgan Freeman as they arrived at the ‘One and Only’ Opening ceremony in April 2009.

‘One&Only’ is now Cape Town’s largest resort hotel with 131 rooms, located in the Victoria & Alfred waterfront. The brand-new resort is already an A-list favorite and boasts captivating views of Table Mountain and the marina.

The perfect place for a gastronomic getaway, Michelin-starred chefs Nobuyuki Matsuhisa of ‘Nobu’ and Britain’s very own Gordon Ramsay will be opening their first venues in Africa on-site. Other facilities include a state-of-the-art fitness centre, beauty treatment rooms, spectacular spa, teen spa and fitness programmes and a yoga pavilion.

From the city’s most exclusive hotel take a drive through to the picturesque Cape Winelands for a stay at the region’s most romantic retreat - Le Franschhoek Hotel and Spa.

Set against a backdrop of the Franschhoek Mountains, the hotel is the perfect base from which to explore the great outdoors during a hike, bike ride or horse ride.

One thing that should definitely not be missed is a visit to the surrounding winelands of Franschhoek, Stellenbosch and Paarl. Foodies will be in their element as aside of two spectacular restaurants, Franschhoek Hotel and Spa also offers cheese and wine tasting sessions.

Somak Holidays is offering two nights at the ‘One&Only’ followed by two nights at the fabulous ‘Franschhoek Hotel and Spa’ including car hire and return flight to Cape Town with South African Airways. Prices start from just £1,445 per person.
