Adventures around Villa Palmera

By Andrea Rowlands-Bradfield · 19 August 2022

Things to do around Mossel Bay

A 300-kilometre stretch of global conservation importance, the Garden Route features some of South Africa's most enchanting scenery: mountains, indigenous forests, rivers, inlets and numerous golden beaches. It is a magical place to explore.

Villa Palmera is the perfect place to rest between adventures. Within five minutes of the guesthouse you can go shark cage diving, scuba diving, ride the ocean zipline, hike, kayak, learn to sail, take a boat trip, go deep-sea fishing, mountain bike, snorkel, visit the seals, surf, take a sunset cruise, do gin school, taste wine, have high tea, join a ghost walk, climb the lighthouse, swim in the Poort (the finest natural bathing pool of its kind), or swim with sharks at the Shark Lab aquarium. And, to rest between adventures, there are day spas.

Come and stay at Villa Palmera and have a tailor-made holiday planned just for you. See the full list of things to do.
