Abalone Hotel & Villas

Private balconies with plunge pools overlooking the Atlantic make a strong opening argument at this boutique hotel on the Paternoster coast. Rooms lean into elegant seaside design without tipping into coastal-kitsch, and the spa offers African massage techniques alongside Welnamis treatments, which use vibration and sound waves to unknot you in ways a hot stone massage never quite managed. Oysters and Japanese-Peruvian sushi are on hand when you surface.
