Le Paradis Penthouse Spotlight: 180-Degree Views of Walker Bay

There are few places in the world where you can wake up to the rhythmic sound of the Atlantic Ocean and, with a simple turn of your head, witness Southern Right whales breaching in the bay. Hermanus is globally recognized as the whale-watching capital of the world, and there is no better vantage point than the Le Paradis Penthouse Hermanus.
Positioned in the heart of Hermanus Central, this sea-facing sanctuary offers a masterclass in coastal luxury. Whether you are visiting for the world-renowned Whale Festival or looking for a serene escape between the mountains and the sea, this penthouse provides an unrivaled front-row seat to the natural wonders of Walker Bay.

The Penthouse Experience: Where Luxury Meets the Ocean
Le Paradis Penthouse Apartment is more than just a place to stay; it is a sophisticated retreat designed for those who appreciate the finer things in life. This fully furnished, self-catering apartment is located within a secure block of suites, ensuring both privacy and peace of mind during your stay.
The penthouse comfortably accommodates up to four guests, making it an ideal choice for two couples or a small family. It features two stylishly appointed bedrooms, each fitted with a queen-size bed and its own full en-suite bathroom. The attention to detail is evident in every corner, from the crisp linens to the contemporary finishes that reflect the light of the coast.
Living and Entertaining with a View
The heart of the penthouse is its spacious open-plan living and entertainment area. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors invite the outside in, framing the 180-degree vistas of Walker Bay. Even on cooler Cape evenings, the indoor fireplace creates a cozy atmosphere, allowing you to enjoy the ocean view in comfort.
For those who enjoy alfresco dining, the expansive patio is equipped with braai (barbecue) facilities. Imagine grilling local seafood while watching the sunset paint the sky in hues of pink and orange over the lagoon.

While the penthouse itself is hard to leave, its location in Hermanus Central puts you at the doorstep of some of the Western Cape’s most iconic attractions. Hermanus is uniquely situated between three lagoons: the Botrivier Lagoon to the west, the Kleinrivier Lagoon to the east, and the Onrus Lagoon in the center.
