Summer Vibes Incoming
There’s a certain moment every year when you can feel summer arriving before it’s even here. The days stretch a little longer, the light feels warmer, and suddenly the coast starts calling your name.
At Raw Africa Collection, this is our favourite time of year. When the energy rises, the beaches wake up, and our coastal escapes shine their brightest.
This summer, two of our most iconic properties set the tone for sunshine-filled days and unforgettable holiday moments: The Bungalow Plett and Sky Villa.
Welcome to the season of ocean breezes, chilled cocktails, and long afternoons that turn into slow, golden evenings. Summer vibes are officially incoming.
Why Summer in Plettenberg Bay Is Unmatched
Plettenberg Bay is one of those rare places that feels like summer even when it’s winter, but when the real thing arrives — it becomes magic.
Picture this: soft sandy beaches, crystal-blue water, playful dolphins, warm mornings perfect for a run along the shoreline, and sunset skies that look like they were painted just for you. Plett brings adventure and tranquillity together effortlessly.
Spend your days swimming, hiking the Robberg trails, browsing local markets, tasting fresh seafood, or soaking up the lively beach culture. Whether you’re visiting as a couple, with friends, or bringing the whole family, Plett delivers the kind of summer you look back on fondly for years.
The Bungalow Plett: Barefoot Luxury by the Beach
Beachfront Bliss
At The Bungalow, the beach isn’t just nearby — it’s your front yard. Wake up to the sound of waves, step outside, and feel the sand under your feet within seconds. This is barefoot living at its most beautiful.
Stylish Social Spaces
The Bungalow has a pulse. It’s lively, warm, and full of personality. Think sun loungers, signature cocktails, great music, and that relaxed beach bar vibe that keeps you lingering longer than expected.
The Rooms
Calming coastal tones, soft linens, and simple elegance make each room feel like your own slice of beach paradise. It’s the kind of space where you instantly switch into holiday mode.
Summer at The Bungalow
Summer here feels like a never-ending beach day — bright mornings, pool dips, refreshing drinks, and evenings lit by soft lights and ocean air. It’s perfect for travellers looking for atmosphere, connection, and that easy, breezy coastal feeling.
Sky Villa: Elevated Luxury with a View
On Top of the World
Perched high above Plett, Sky Villa is where luxury meets landscape. Here, you’re surrounded by panoramic views of the ocean, mountains, and lagoon — a setting so breathtaking it feels like you’re floating between sky and sea.
Design That Breathes Summer
Light, airy, and artful, Sky Villa is modern elegance infused with coastal charm. Every corner feels thoughtful. Every space feels like a place you want to pause, breathe, and take it all in.
The Experience
Long, lazy pool days. Creative cocktails. Gourmet dining. Spaces designed for deep relaxation and meaningful moments. Staying here feels like a calm, sunlit escape from the world.
Summer at Sky Villa
Expect quiet luxury, unforgettable sunsets, and a sense of complete tranquillity. It’s ideal for couples, honeymooners, or anyone who wants a peaceful summer retreat with all the comforts of a world-class stay.
How to Choose: The Bungalow vs Sky Villa
Both properties offer the signature Raw Africa Collection atmosphere — warm service, stylish spaces, and a true connection to the coast. But they each bring something unique.
- If you love energy, oceanfront living, and social summer vibes → The Bungalow Plett is your spot.
- If you prefer tranquillity, elevated views, and refined luxury → Sky Villa is your perfect match.
Of course, the best secret? You don’t have to choose. Many travellers stay at both for a complete Plett summer experience.
