The Sands @ St Francis

The Sands @ St Francis invites you to take pleasure in the South Eastern Cape's endless stretches of pristine coastline whilst experiencing the casual, laid-back South African marina lifestyle. This stylish white-washed beach house enjoys a reputation as one of the few absolute beachfront retreats in the Cape. A coastal hideaway of uninterrupted Indian Ocean views, sun-drenched beaches, frolicking dolphins and endless strolls along the coast, The Sands promises to calm the soul and delight the senses.

Situated in the picturesque seaside village of St Francis Bay, just over an hour from Plettenberg Bay, The Sands sits at the gateway to the Garden Route within close proximity to the game reserves of the bordering Eastern Cape.

Just metres from the beach, this is a place where you awake to the soothing sound of tumbling waves. Contemporary African beach-style décor and thoughtful designs create an air of casual elegance throughout the generous open plan living area and the five fabulous guest rooms - all of which spill effortlessly onto private timber decks overlooking the ocean. The stunning octagonal shaped dining room boasts an impressive thatched roof, a central fireplace and floor-to ceiling glass windows with the most intoxicating views! A grand dining experience of gourmet cuisine and fine wine is served with a special emphasis on fresh, seasonal tastes and flavours.

The secluded pool deck which is set amongst lush greenery, and has an honesty bar and steam room, sets the scene for relaxation and indulgence at your own pace! At The Sands @ St Francis, the emphasis is on comfort and life’s simple pleasures - great for stylish nature lovers and as a base for exploring the undiscovered!
