A perfect local bucket list opportunity
Visiting the West Coast to see the eruption of wildflowers that turns the usual landscape into a riot
of colours, is something all should get to experience. Shark Bay Hotel is the perfect location to
explore the West Coast National Park and enjoy all the exciting offerings of Langebaan.
It overlooks the crystal blue lagoon, continuously splattered by the colourful kite surfers and
uninterrupted views of the whole area. The wildflowers are obviously a big attraction, as well as the
incredible avian splendor of the migrating Curleys, Greenshanks, Turnstones and Sandpipers. A few
simple days, however, just relaxing on your deck, taking long leisurely walks on the sandy shores, a
brisk cycle, a catamaran trip or enjoying a dip in the lagoon, can all be part of your plan. A few
treatments at the Spa are also a divine way to spend an afternoon. A highly recommended
treatment is ‘Soul Mates’, incorporating a full body aroma therapy massage, pressure point foot
massage, Indian head massage, facial and pedicure.
This hotel is a real hidden gem, and a delightful property to unwind, and enjoy a few delectable
time-out moments. And there are a few; from the seafood platters, the oysters and champagne at
sundowners, the delectable macaroons at tea, sipping cocktails at the pristine lap pool, opulent
evening dining, or quiet time on your patio with a book.
The hotel is designed and decorated to present a level of open plan luxury, comfort, and modern
simplicity. The wall to ceiling glass windows, encompass the views from every angle and the large
outdoor deck welcomes a constant flow of the sea breeze. Plenty of Sauvignon Blanc from the
inhouse wine cellar ensures a leisurely and lazy sunny afternoon and after a wonderful fine dining
experience, you can’t miss an opportunity to enjoy a fragrant cognac nightcap before bed.
The area has so much to offer including kite surfing, windsurfing, kayaking, yachting and if this is not
an appeal, the West Coast National Park is literally on your doorstep. Spend the day doing bush,
beach, or both, wiling away the afternoons at the pool or spa. Langebaan is literally a painting and
it’s yours to explore at your leisure. The colour palette defined by the fire-red sunsets, turquoise
seas, coloured fishing boats, and rainbows splatted across the skies by the kite surfers.
Visiting Shark Bay was exactly as imagined, it was paradise. It is a must stay to enjoy the tranquility
and the total seclusion of this jewel and unsurpassed natural beauty.
