Welcome to Villa Whalebay

Villa Whalebay is a brand new private luxury villa in De Kelders, situated right on the cliffs at the Walker Bay Nature Reserve, just a 2-hour drive from Cape Town. It offers spectacular views over the ocean, the dramatic coastline, mountains and the long sandy beach of the Nature Reserve.

Just beyond the 3-meter-high living room windows, huge rocks rise, with massive waves crashing against them, creating a 15-meter-high sea spray. It’s a captivating natural spectacle that you won’t be able to resist. On calm, warm days, the rocks are gently bathed in the vibrant colors of the sea. Take a walk over the orange lichen-covered rocks, right up to the cliffs and the foaming sea. With a bit of luck, whales may pass by very closely.

The villa is the perfect retreat to enjoy private and relaxing vacations with all the comforts of a luxury villa set in a pristine natural setting close to the 5-star Grootbos Nature Reserve. A solar system provides environmentally friendly electricity. Hear the waves crash below you and enjoy spectacular sunsets over the ocean. Watch whales and their calves from the comfort of the lounge or sea front deck on their annual visit between June and November. The villa offers some of the best land-based whale watching in the world.
