There are certain locations on Earth that are so awe-inspiring that you might question their reality, and the charming fishing village of Paternoster, nestled along the Cape West Coast, is one of those places. The Strandloper Ocean Boutique Hotel pays homage to the ancient indigenous travellers of this coastline, while warmly welcoming modern-day guests seeking tranquillity and the breathtaking beauty of nature. The Strandloper Ocean is an exquisite blend of coastal aesthetics and contemporary luxury. Its design embraces organic forms, shades, and textures, creating an atmosphere of simplicity. The interiors, deliberately understated, don’t compete with the outside world; rather, they serve as a canvas, showcasing the natural splendour of this remarkable coastline. Each room is adorned with organic furnishings that harmonise with the surrounding environment, featuring elements of wood, stone, and soft, washed colours. The concept of “barefoot luxury” prevails, characterised by clean lines, pure linens, and a soothing neutral palette that evokes a sense of uncluttered serenity. This haven of wild beauty is complemented by expansive white beaches caressed by the cool and enigmatic waters of the Atlantic Ocean, where the past seamlessly merges with the present. Paternoster is renowned as a seafood paradise, offering an abundance of fresh fish, succulent black mussels, and other delectable treasures harvested from the vast Atlantic Ocean. In this haven, you can detach yourself from the demands of the outside world. The Strandloper Ocean is more than just a hotel; it represents a retreat, a sanctuary of complete privacy and seclusion. It embodies a philosophy of living in harmony with nature and seamlessly blending with the delicate beauty of the surroundings. Here, where heaven embraces the earth on the Atlantic shores, you’ll find not just another place, but an entirely different world. There are amazing activities available here, one of them is horseback riding down the stunning white sands.
