This jaw-dropping 5-star hotel is located in South Africa’s wine country – only a 1-hour drive from Cape Town, the village of Franschhoek. Head to La Residence for a rejuvenating 2-3 night stay where you’ll be lounging by the picturesque pool, making your way through wine tasting and experiencing local foods. And, all this against the impeccable backdrop of South African mountains. If you’re an equestrian at heart, head on a horseback riding tour through the vineyards. End the day with a quiet moment relaxing and reflecting next to the property’s own pond, with a good book in hand.
