A fun-filled weekend to celebrate our colourful Heritage

From quick bites to leisurely meals, the V&A Waterfront offers something for every appetite. Grab a coffee between stops, settle in for a sunset dinner, or explore flavours from around the world.
A neighbourhood that’s yours to discover. From world-class museums and iconic attractions to harbour gems, there are memorable experiences around every corner. Whether it's your first visit or your daily fix, there's always a new reason to explore.
Expect the unexpected. From global brands to unique finds by local makers, there’s something for every shopper. This is world-class shopping with an African twist.
Our neighbourhood is the place to be! From seasonal events to top performances, there’s always something to look forward to. Find out what's on so you can plan your next memorable experience.
Hotels at the V&A Waterfront offer a unique experience inside a neighbourhood that has been alive for over 160 years.
From intimate boutique properties to five-star resorts, every hotel here sits within a working harbour, a creative economy, and a community where there’s always a reason to stay a little longer.
Wake up to the harbour and enjoy your favourite coffee spot as you experience the convenience of having everything within walking distance.
Living at the V&A Waterfront means living inside one of the most connected neighbourhoods in Africa, with everything that comes with it: security, convenience and a view that never gets old.
At the V&A Waterfront, people come together to work, visit, create and belong. More than a destination, it's a neighbourhood of opportunity, supporting 30,000 direct jobs and contributing R45.9 billion to the economy.
A new stretch of Cape Town’s Atlantic coastline is being opened up to the city. Over the next 15 to 20 years, this R20 billion-plus development will bring new homes, hotels, jobs, public space and a protected bay for swimming, kayaking and boating. A 540-metre seawall will help protect the coastline, while a new coastal walkway will connect the V&A directly to the Sea Point promenade.
