Nestled within the gaze of the Slangkop Cliffs that languish behind it and with uninterrupted views across Cape Point Nature Reserve and its surrounding wetlands – Abraça is a gem of a holiday retreat. Located in the rural hamlet of Scarborough, a mere 45 minutes from Cape Town, the pristine and often deserted beach is just a five minute stroll through the wetlands. Designed for small groups of friends or a multi-generational family, this magnificent property has all the requisite factors (tick: remote, rural, rugged, rustic, safe, private yet luxurious and comfortable) that we consider essential to, and for, total relaxation and a restorative retreat. Beloved for its natural bounty of unspoilt beaches, spectacular mountain trails and untrammelled surf breaks, Scarborough is also home to a burgeoning creative and wellness community that encompasses food, art, music, coastal foraging and cold-water swimming, to name but a few.
