Beach venue · V&A Waterfront

The beach venue inside the Waterfront.

Sand under the table, a chandelier above it, and nine venues behind it. The Grand is a restored warehouse at Granger Bay with its own beach to the water's edge, the only one inside the V&A Waterfront. Birthdays, weddings, functions and launches on the sand, with five bars, a serious kitchen and an events team that has been doing this for years.

Why this beach

Private sand, city address

A beach you can close, inside the V&A Waterfront, with parking and valet. Minutes from the hotels and the city.

More than a beach

Nine private venues from 50 to 1 050 guests and five bars, so the party has somewhere to go when the sun does.

Dressed, not bare

Chandeliers, candelabras, antique furniture and a red rose on every table. The Grand’s objects come with the sand.

Kitchen and events team

Seafood, fire and a sommelier’s list, run by one team from the first enquiry to the last coupe.

Good Vibes

Music, energy and atmosphere built in.

Dedicated Team

One events team, from first enquiry to last dance.
