Unwind with a glass of fine wine on the sundeck, take in the glorious seascape and watch for whales and dolphins in the ocean below. Sip a refreshing sundowner from the ‘Martini seat’ in our stylish rim-flow pool or jacuzzi.

Experience the sheer indulgence of our gourmet breakfast or a sundowner braai. Enjoy a movie in your room from our ‘on demand’ DVD library before sinking into your luxurious super-king bed and being lulled to sleep by the hypnotic sound of the waves beneath.

A fusion of contemporary design and exotic artworks from around the globe, gives The Alexander its unique character and charm.
