The activities you choose for your luxury family holiday in Cape Town will often depend upon the time of year you choose to visit the city. During the summer, the most obvious choice is to spend time at the beach. And these aren’t just any old beaches! A number of Cape Town’s beaches have been awarded prestigious Blue Flag status, and most of the city’s beaches offer long stretches of soft white sand, where families can spend hours building sandcastles, playing games and enjoying picnics. There’s also plenty of opportunity for surfing, body-boarding and a variety of other water sports.

Throughout the year, the natural attractions of Cape Point Nature Reserve, Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens and Chapman’s Peak offer spectacular walking, hiking and photographic opportunities. Discover the fynbos at Cape Point, the indigenous plants and flowers at Kirstenbosch, and the magnificent views of the ocean from Chapman’s Peak.
