About Grand Africa

Grand Africa Café & Beach is more than a destination – it is a feeling. A free-spirited celebration of barefoot luxury, where time slows to the rhythm of the tide and the soul finds room to roam.

Poised elegantly along Cape Town’s glittering shoreline, with her gaze cast over the vast Atlantic and Robben Island beyond, she invites you into a world where wanderlust meets wonder – where the spirit of the city dances with the serenity of the sea.

Here, iconic style mingles with playful decadence, echoing the beauty of faraway lands and the stories gathered along the journey. From five lively bars and breezy ocean decks to nine unique private venues and feet-in-the-sand dining, every corner of Grand Africa Café & Beach whispers of celebration, connection, and escape.

Come feel the magic of this place – made for those who seek beauty, joy, and the freedom to simply be.

A world away, yet right at the heart of it all.

Grand Legacy

The legacy of Grand Africa Café & Beach is one of vision, passion, and purpose — rooted in the heart of its founder, Sue. Her unwavering love for beauty, people, and place has shaped a brand that transcends hospitality. What began as a dream in Plettenberg Bay — to blend the magic of Africa with the ease of barefoot luxury — has evolved into a lifestyle movement.

Sue’s philosophy is both simple and profound: to create spaces where people feel deeply connected — to one another, to nature, and to themselves. Under her guidance, Grand Africa has grown into more than a destination. It is a feeling. A sense of belonging. A celebration of life, lived with flair.

At the core of this legacy is the Grand Africa Foundation — a living testament to Sue’s commitment to giving back. The Foundation uplifts local communities, nurtures the arts, and protects the natural world, extending Grand Africa’s impact far beyond its golden shores.

To step into Grand Africa is to enter a world that is timeless, generous, and deeply intentional. This is the legacy — a love-mark that continues to grow, always grounded in beauty, purpose, and the spirit of giving.
