Built on a rocky promontory overlooking the Indian Ocean, with breathtaking views of the surrounding forests, beaches and mountains, the Beacon Island Lifestyle Resort on the Garden Route in Plettenberg Bay is truly a world-famous landmark. There is no better view of whales breaching or schools of dolphins than from the comfort of your room. The interior of this hotel has a modern yet relaxed simplistic look, in keeping with global trends and true to the philosophy of placing guests first, the Beacon Island remains as unsurpassed as its spectacular setting. The Sea Lounge and Playa Bar is the place to be during whale season or any other day, it is suspended over the Indian Ocean with whales and dolphins breaching less than 30 meters away.
