Krystal Beach Hotel is a 4 Star Hotel situated on the waterfront of the paradisaical Harbour Island Marina, in Gordons Bay. It is strategically placed and Cape Town International Airport is only 40 km and 35 minutes’ drive from the Krystal Beach. We are only 1.5 km from Gordon’s Bay Village and the walk there is usually a highlight for our guests. Bikini Beach (Blue Flag) is only 2.7 km from the Krystal Hotel. The Strand, with its magnificent beaches (Blue Flag), is virtually on our doorstep, Somerset West about 5 minutes, Stellenbosch about 15 Minutes, Hermanus about 45 minutes, and Cape Town about 40 minutes. The Krystal Beach is at the start of both the Wine & Whale Routes.
It has easy access to the Cape Winelands in Stellenbosch, Franschhoek, Somerset West and Elgin. The magnificent Clarence coastal drive takes you through to Hermanus, where, in season, you can watch the whales blow and breach in their breeding ground. Our suites, and indeed all our rooms, are widely acclaimed for their spaciousness, peaceful ambience, magnificent sea and mountain views on both sides of the hotel, having either a balcony or a terrace, and with all the mod cons any discerning traveller would expect from a five-star hotel.
The beverage stations with refrigerators and Nespresso coffee machines (in our suites) are much appreciated. If one requires a room conducive to utter relaxation, with absolutely awesome views, one cannot do better than stay at the Krystal Beach. Best of all our rooms are most affordable, and this value-add benefit is arguably unrivalled within the Cape hospitality arena, which makes staying at the Krystal a must.

The ambience remains warm and welcoming but without any sense of claustrophobia. Our restaurants offer discerning foodies and Joe Soap diverse menus, and our dishes reflect new trends in both international and local cuisine.
