The boutique Cape Town villa has swept three titles at the 2026 Haute Grandeur Global Excellence Awards and in doing so, confirmed what its guests have long believed: Tintswalo Boulders is world-class hospitality in one of the most breathtaking settings on earth.

★  Best Beach Villa - Global

★  Best Rooftop View Hotel - Africa

★  Best Beachfront Hotel - South Africa

Sitting above one of the planet's most extraordinary natural spectacles a resident colony of endangered African penguins at Boulders Beach the property has always felt like a place held apart from the ordinary. Nine individually decorated suites, each named after a historic ship, offer private terraces, fireplaces and sweeping ocean views. Families are genuinely catered for, not as an afterthought, with spacious communal living areas, a central fire pit courtyard and a heated plunge pool.

“Their dedication to creating extraordinary guest experiences goes far beyond traditional hospitality, ensuring every stay is truly memorable.”- Lisa Goosen, CEO, Tintswalo Collection
