Staying on the Beach on your African holiday

Wake up to the sound of gentle waves, warm sunshine and endless horizons—our “On the Beach” collection places you right at the water’s edge, where Africa’s most captivating coastlines become part of your everyday view. These hand-selected stays offer the perfect blend of comfort, natural beauty and relaxed coastal living, ideal for travellers who want to feel the beach beneath their feet from the moment they arrive.

Each property is chosen for its exceptional location, with rooms, suites or villas just steps away from soft sand and turquoise seas. From charming seaside lodges to stylish oceanfront hideaways, every place invites you to slow down and savour the simple pleasure of being so close to the water. Wide-open views, salty breezes and a constant connection to the shoreline define the experience.

Days unfold in an easy, unhurried rhythm. Start your morning with a walk along the beach, paddle out into calm lagoons, or dive into vibrant marine worlds alive with colour. Spend afternoons lounging under palms, enjoying freshly caught seafood or exploring nearby coastal villages. When evening falls, the beach becomes your front-row seat to golden sunsets and star-filled skies.

What sets “On the Beach” escapes apart is their effortless charm and warm hospitality. With attentive hosts, thoughtful details and a sense of place shaped by the surrounding coastline, these stays feel welcoming, relaxed and wonderfully authentic.

Choosing an “On the Beach” retreat means embracing the freedom of oceanside living—a chance to unwind, reconnect and enjoy Africa’s beaches in the most immediate, immersive way.
