Bantry Bay prides itself on its upmarket and laidback lifestyle. Bantry Bay was previously known as Botany Bay, because a Botanical Garden was planted in the region, to cultivate plants for medicinal uses. Situated on the slopes of Lion’s Head and overlooking a rocky coastline, Bantry Bay is also home to a unique beach called Saunder’s Rock, which has a tidal pool for safe bathing.

Exclusive and quiet, Bantry Bay was home to Sir John Ellerman, an English entrepreneur. His home has been converted into the award-winning Ellerman House, now a boutique hotel.

Accommodation resorts and establishments in the Bantry Bay region are all exquisite and take great pride in their decor and highest levels of hospitality. Peppered with villas, hotels and apartments, Bantry Bay boasts gorgeous ocean views and a surprisingly wind-free environment.

Just under two kilometres away from the renowned Clifton 4th Beach, and ten kilometres away from glorious Llandudno, Bantry Bay is a haven for the upmarket traveller, keen on a little luxurious break-away. Camps Bay is also not far from Bantry Bay, and avid shoppers can easily travel to Cavendish Square, Cape Quarter and Canal Walk.

For those keen on cuisine, Salt Restaurant and Bar at the Ambassador Hotel promises an all-round sensory experience, designed to heighten the enjoyment of the fine delicacies on offer, with beautiful views and impeccable service. The Islands Restaurant at the President Hotel is a relaxed yet professional bar and eatery, perfect for a sundowner or two.

Treat yourself to a little bliss in Bantry Bay.
