Tucked away in the charming fishing village of Paternoster, just a two-hour drive from Cape Town, Abalone Hotel & Villas is a boutique seaside escape where luxury, tranquillity, and the raw beauty of the West Coast come together. Whether you’re seeking a romantic retreat, a wellness break, or a gourmet getaway, the hotel offers a world-class experience in one of South Africa’s most scenic destinations.

A highlight of Abalone’s offerings, the new Oyster Villa Seaview Suites are designed for guests who want an elevated, more exclusive experience. Situated in a separate, ultra- private villa, each suite opens onto a sleek, shared patio with sun loungers and a long, heated pool that overlooks the ocean. With uninterrupted sea views, these suites are perfect for soaking in the golden West Coast sunsets, morning strolls along the beach via a private path, and lazy afternoons spent with a good book and a chilled drink in hand.

Guests of the Oyster Villa Suites enjoy access to a private Wellness Suite, designed for deep relaxation and indulgence. Featuring a sauna with ocean views and a cold plunge bath, this tranquil space invites you to unwind and restore after a day of exploring Paternoster’s charming nooks and beachside trails.

A fresh addition to the Abalone experience, the Oyster Lounge brings coastal-chic flair and a celebration of West Coast flavours. Overlooking the sea, this stylish space offers a curated menu of locally harvested oysters, Nikkei-inspired sushi, and tapas-style sharing plates – ideal for a laid-back start to your evening. Follow your starters with an exceptional dinner at Blues Restaurant, where signature dishes like steak and crayfish are expertly prepared by the chef.
