Need to find a place to blend romance with the exotic? Then Cape Town, South Africa is a great place to visit. It is a top destination for romantic gay vacations and has been for a long time. It is a beautiful place for that perfect get away for just the two of you. You will find all types of activities to catch your interest.
Bordered on the South by the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, and on the North by the towering 4,000 foot Table Mountain, Cape Town's horizons are anything but ordinary and in constant flux with the clouds rolling off the mountain's peaks defining the sky-scape randomly and dramatically. The perfect backdrop for an afternoon of lazing quietly on the beach, wrapped in a partner's never ending gaze.
If you're looking for the perfect romantic place to stay, book your nights at the incredible Glen Boutique Hotel. Given that this hotel is gay owned and operated, it's an exceptional choice for gay travel and you certainly won't be disappointed by the luxurious bedrooms and marble baths. As Cape Town's gay village booms, so do your options for renowned exotic culinary masterpieces -- such as Ulwimi (steamed Ox tongue in mustard sauce) at Marco's African Place -- or you might head on over to the jazzy Off Moroka Cafe Africaine to indulge in some traditional African fare.
After a day or two on the beach, you may want to venture into the wine country or visit some of the great Cape Town museums, The Bo-Kapp Museum, District Six Museum and National Gallery should not be missed. At night, Cape Town offers a wide array of options from small quiet little bars to wild discos!
There is even some gay history to be had on the slopes of Devil's Peak in the form of the Rhodes Memorial: so built to honor Cecil Rhodes who was a gay entrepreneur from Great Britain and founder of the Rhodes Scholarship, Rhodesia and DeBeers (diamond) mining company. Of course, there are the magnificent beaches, who can forget the gorgeous South African beaches?
Did we mention the beaches? Do not miss the wonderful South African beaches. With all that Cape Town offers gay adventure travel, from wildlife, to beaches to nightlife, going to Cape Town is definitely well worth it; a vacation you won't soon forget.
