Tintswalo Atlantic is located on the shoreline of the Atlantic Seaboard and is a luxury retreat neatly tucked away in a private enclave at the base of Chapman’s Peak, one of the world’s most scenic drives. This exclusive five-star hotel is literally on its own private section of rocky coastline. You’re so close to the water’s edge that it feels like you are literally on a private island, and would be forgiven for thinking that you’re slap bang on the set of The Beach. This place is paradise. It’s so secluded that you don’t see it unless you’re looking. You don’t simply drive past Tintswalo – you have to find it. The entrance to Tintswalo winds it way down from the top of Chapman’s Peak to a private bay area, where you the champagne and oyster lifestyle awaits. Tintswalo Atlantic is wild and secretive, which makes it that much more desirable.
Both the accommodation and main area are surrounded by diverse vegetation, which makes sense given that Tintswalo’s location is deep within the heart of the Cape Mountain reserve. Guests will be rewarded with astounding views of the Sentinel, the surrounding mountains and the endless expanse of the Atlantic Ocean. This is the place where you will wake up to the sound of the ocean beating against the rocks and feel the fresh ocean breeze when you open the sliding doors from your suite.
The 10 island suites are each designed according to a specific island. Each room is furnished to mirror the culture and theme its particular island, and there is even careful attention to detail when it comes to colour schemes. For example. Caribbean themed suites are bold, bright and vibrant designed to reflect the atmosphere of the Caribbean.
The main area comprises plenty of wooden decking with views of the ocean, a swimming pool with deck chairs adorning the deck, and a swanky restaurant. The dining room spills out onto the outdoor decking area and has an array of cuisine on offer that caters for a variety of diets. The food is modern with creative flair, and visitors who aren’t hotel guests are welcome to book in advance for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
