Africa Privé · Cape Privé
The Cape Privé Residence
It is not simply where you stay. It is where your journey begins.
A villa is a place to sleep. A Cape Privé residence is something else entirely — the first, and most personal, expression of everything that makes Cape Privé different.
Every Cape Privé journey is anchored by a private villa or residence, personally selected to match your preferences, your party and your setting. From the moment you choose your residence, you are not booking accommodation. You are opening the door to your own private world of the Cape.
Choice of Villas
The Cape’s most
sought-after settings
Our private collection spans the Cape’s most sought-after settings, each residence individually selected for its location, character, privacy and views:
Cliffside villas along the Atlantic Seaboard, with uninterrupted ocean and mountain views · Private residences in Clifton and Camps Bay, moments from the water · Vineyard estates in Constantia, Stellenbosch and Franschhoek · Secluded mountain and coastal retreats across the Cape Peninsula
Every residence is selected personally on your behalf, matched to your party size, your preferred setting, and the shape of your Cape Privé journey.
The Magic
Never simply staffed.
Hosted.
This is where Cape Privé becomes unlike any villa stay you have experienced. From the moment you arrive, the following is not an upgrade, and not an option. It is simply included:
24-hour private chauffeur service, on call for the full duration of your stay · 24-hour personal butler service, dedicated exclusively to your residence and your party · A dedicated host and experience curator, separate from your butler, who designs and adjusts each day around you · Private in-villa dining, prepared by our finest private chefs, for any meal, at any hour · A curated private cellar, stocked to sommelier standard · A dedicated barman · Daily housekeeping, with laundry, pressing and evening turndown service · Eats and treats, replenished throughout your stay without being asked · Discreet, on-call security — panic buttons and a presence felt only as peace of mind · Wellness on call — a personal masseuse, trainer or yoga instructor, available whenever you wish
Your residence is never simply staffed. It is hosted — around your schedule, not the other way around.
The Personal Touches
Before you arrive,
we learn you
Your residence is prepared not to a standard, but to you: your favourite flowers, arranged throughout the residence on arrival. Your favourite drinks and spirits, stocked exactly to your taste. Your preferred amenities, linens and in-room details, anticipated rather than requested. Every small detail a returning guest never has to ask for twice.
For a 6-star guest, these details matter more than anything that can simply be bought. They are what make a residence feel like it was always yours.

Discretion, By Design
Privacy is not respected.
It is engineered.
Every member of staff assigned to your residence operates under strict confidentiality, with no unsanctioned photography and full media-blackout protocols available on request — because for our guests, discretion is not a courtesy. It is a requirement.
Before You Leave
Every stay ends
the way it began — with a gesture
Guests may choose a personal keepsake of their time in the Cape, or a named conservation contribution made in their honour through Legacy Privé — a small mark left on Africa, in return for the mark Africa has left on them.
Your Gateway
Every journey begins
and ends at your door
Your residence is more than a base — it is the doorway into the full Cape Privé collection. Every yacht cruise, every helicopter journey, every private cellar, atelier and conservation expedition begins and ends at your door, collected by your chauffeur and returned by evening to a home already prepared for you.
Choosing your Cape Privé residence is choosing access — to the ocean, the mountains, the Winelands and the wilderness — with nothing left for you to arrange.
It is not a place to stay. It is where your Cape Privé story begins.
