The Ultimate Sea & Safari Retreat.

Seamlessly combine a high-end coastal escape with a premier Eastern Cape safari. This is the best of both worlds.

At Umbekiso, your holiday is not limited by choice. Our unique location and dedicated concierge services allow you to indulge in every facet of the Eastern Cape’s magic.

Sea & Safari Integration

Your luxury villa is the perfect base for exploring the Eastern Cape’s magnificent wildlife. We arrange effortless, private day-trips to Africa’s Big 5 at world-class game reserves like Addo Elephant National Park and Shamwari. Return from the bush to your sanctuary by the sea.

Our Concierge Service: Allow us to arrange a seamless, private day-trip safari. You’ll be picked up from the villa at dawn and returned in time for a sundowner on your private deck.

Coastal Access, Elevated

Enjoy quick, convenient access to the famous beaches and world-renowned surf spots of Jeffreys Bay, then retreat to your private haven when the day is done. Experience the “Surfer’s Mecca” or explore quiet, endless beaches, all from your exclusive, elevated base in the nature reserve.

Our Concierge Service: We can arrange private surf lessons with a local pro or pack a luxury picnic for your day at the beach.

The Sanctuary: A Wellness Focus

The ultimate luxury is the peace of your private nature reserve. Marketed as a private wellness retreat, we can arrange in-house services like private yoga or massage sessions on the deck, all overlooking the ocean. Or simply indulge in the care of an in-villa private chef for a special occasion.

Our Concierge Service: From private chefs to safari bookings, your transition from plane to paradise is swift and stress-free.
