The Sands @ St Francis 

A footstep away from the beach, a few minutes from the bustling village center and home to world class watersports and activities.

Waking to the sound of waves crashing on the beach below; enjoying the view of the surfers making the most of the waves while you enjoy a steaming cup of freshly brewed coffee on your private deck; and then slipping into the adjacent rim flow pool for a refreshing pre-breakfast swim. This is the kind of idyllic beach life that awaits visitors to the 5 star boutique hotel of The Sands @ St Francis. 

Located in the picturesque seaside village of St. Francis Bay, this luxurious African beach hotel, offers five spacious en-suite bedrooms, all with uninterrupted views of the majestic Indian Ocean and the endless stretches of pristine coastline. 

All bedrooms are air-conditioned and offer luxury and style. Each bedroom opens onto a private deck with stunning views of the beach and infinity pool below. The honeymoon suite offers an extra outdoor shower and Jacuzzi in its deck, from where spectacular sunsets can be enjoyed.

The glass-fronted Octagon Restaurant has a thatched roof, central fireplace and surrounding timber deck and provides a breathtaking 270 degree panoramic view of the bay. Octagon serves breakfast, light lunches and a la carte dinners. St Francis Bay is situated close to the Eastern Cape’s many malaria-free game reserves.
