It’s the month of love! Everywhere around us are reminders that LOVE is what makes the world go round. If you’re blessed to have a loving partner, now is the time to celebrate the joy. And if you are alone, then show yourself the love that you deserve by treating yourself too. Being alive is reason enough to seize the moment, take a pause and revel in the privilege of another day.
And nothing is better than doing so in the beautiful embrace of natural splendour. Where the warm Indian ocean fills the richly endowed Algoa Bay, fringed by craggy rocks and verdant fynbos-covered dunes. Where sea otters secretively live and coastal birds congregate – here is where you’ll find that joy.
Our Cape Recife Lighthouse Villa Valentine’s Day getaway is a romantic lighthouse retreat for couples, families or just isolated bliss. It’s a unique Valentine’s Day experience in South Africa’s spectacular Eastern Cape province, right on the outskirts of the vibrant coastal city of Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth).
There is no more idyllic oceanfront getaway for two than our luxury lighthouse accommodation with ocean views. The pink glow of the sunrise as it tints the curling waves. The rhythmic swish and crash of silvery shore break pounding the rocks below. The cries of gulls, terns and oystercatchers swooping above. The bliss of being the first to set footprints on the cool sand at dawn, and the last to watch to setting sun over the vegetated dunes at twilight.
Choose a private lighthouse escape for Valentine’s Day, with a candlelit dinner for two overlooking the ocean. A more romantic seaside retreat, you will not find. One of South Africa’s unique destinations and a gem for Gqeberha tourism.
Immerse yourself in the stunning natural beauty of the surroundings as you relax in the cozy comfort of the lighthouse villa. With breathtaking ocean views and a serene atmosphere, it’s the ultimate destination to create lasting memories with your loved one.
