Clifton at a glance

Set along one of the most breathtaking stretches of the Atlantic Seaboard, Clifton is synonymous with luxury, beauty, and exclusivity. With its powder-soft white beaches, turquoise water, and dramatic granite boulders, this prestigious neighbourhood feels like a private coastal sanctuary tucked beneath the slopes of Lion’s Head.

Clifton’s four world-famous beaches (each sheltered, sun-drenched, and uniquely charming) are at the heart of its appeal. Thanks to their natural protection from Cape Town’s summer winds, they remain some of the most sought-after spots in the city for sunbathing, swimming, and those unforgettable golden-hour moments as the sun dips behind the Atlantic.

The architecture in Clifton is just as impressive as the scenery. Multi-tiered villas and sleek, modern apartments are carved into the cliffside, offering uninterrupted ocean views and direct beach access. From sunrise coffees on glass-walled balconies to evenings spent watching the waves illuminate under moonlight, every detail of life here feels elevated.

Despite its serene, tucked-away atmosphere, Clifton is exceptionally well positioned. Camps Bay’s lively dining strip is moments away, Sea Point’s Promenade and amenities are close by, and the V&A Waterfront is only a short drive. It’s the perfect blend of peaceful seclusion and effortless convenience.

Whether it’s the sound of waves greeting you each morning, a yacht cruise along the coastline, or lazy afternoons on pristine beaches, Clifton offers a lifestyle defined by natural beauty, exclusivity, and coastal sophistication.
