Cape Town
Cape Town
Amazing beaches. Exceptional vineyards. Natural attractions. Cosmopolitan vibes. Cool locals. Cape Town is one of the most dynamic cities in the world, and it’s worth the long schlep. It’s also exceptionally gay-friendly (LGBT locals love seeing new faces in their South African oasis) and it’s becoming more exciting every year (its first modern art museum will open in 2018). Check into Cape Grace (www.capegrace.com), one of the most elegant and luxurious hotels on the continent. The intuitive, personalized service is mind blowing, and there’s nothing like social affairs at their outdoor pool. “Bay views” are an understatement at Harbour House Kalk Bay (www.harbourhouse.co.za), an award-winning seafood restaurant built literally on the breakwater. It’s common to spot whales right from your table. After reaching great heights at iconic Table Mountain, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and hanging out with penguins at Foxy Beach, head to Camps Bay for unforgettable sunsets right on a gay beach.
