Despacito – Slow Luxe Beach Hacienda Steps from Struisbaai’s Turquoise Bay
Starting at R8000 a night
Cradled in the dunes less than 100 m from Struisbaai’s warm, turquoise bay, Despacito is a Mexican-inspired luxury beach house where slow living (despacito) defines every moment. White-washed walls, raw timber and earthy textures wrap airy interiors, anchored by a giant goose-feather couch that turns family time into an art form. Three beautifully appointed bedrooms (sleeping 8) include a spa-style main suite with a private Rasul steam room; the kids’ loft doubles as a games and TV den.
Slide open the stacking doors and flow effortlessly to wind-sheltered courtyards: braai and pizza oven, fire-circle boma, solar-heated pool, swinging daybed and a starlit hot tub. When the Agulhas breeze picks up, settle beside one of the indoor fireplaces with puzzles or a local vintage.
Step onto the sand for surf lessons at Robbie’s Surf School, stroll to the harbour for the day’s catch, or watch Southern Right whales breach offshore — Cape Agulhas is only 4 km away. Fully equipped for gourmet self-catering and fibre-fast Wi-Fi, Despacito marries boutique-hotel polish with the barefoot freedom of a private coastal haven at the Southernmost Tip of Africa.
Living Spaces
Indoor – outdoor flow: Layered courtyards shield you from the famous Agulhas breeze while flooding the interiors with golden Overberg light.
Signature lounge: A custom goose-feather couch forms the relaxed heart of the home — movie marathons, board-game battles and story time happen here.
Chef-friendly kitchen: Gas hob, double fridge, convection oven and a pizza oven in the braai area for family feasts.
Gather around the fireplace in the living room or enjoy one of the three braai/bbq areas (2 indoor and 1 outdoor) for a cozy dinner. Unwind in the outdoor boma, soak in the hot tub, or bask in the sun by the swimming pool. Despacito, awaits.
Insider Tip
Experiences such as hiking spookdraai, sunset boat cruises, and sundowners at the Harbour highlight the area’s unique coastal feel.
