Win a Luxurious Stay for Two at Taj Cape Town worth R15 000
Winner announced! Congrats to Faraad Awvince who won this fabulous prize.
By Inside Guide • 02 September 2025
Walking past the fluted marble pillars and opulent furnishings of Taj Cape Town’s imposing lobby, you’ll be transported to another world. Head further into Bombay Brasserie, the five-star hotel’s signature restaurant, where sumptuous decor and sparkling chandeliers provide the backdrop for refined, authentic Indian cuisine, and the illusion that you’re far from Cape Town’s city streets continues. Yet you’re in the historic centre, directly opposite St George’s Cathedral and the Company’s Garden. It’s the perfect base for an indulgent innercity escape.
With Bombay Brasserie, Mint Restaurant & Wood-Fired Grill, the glam Lobby Bar and Whisky Lounge, the award-winning J Wellness Circle spa, a heated indoor pool (and glorious views over Table Mountain, Lion’s Head and the city from the contemporary tower rooms), it’s tempting just to stay in this magnificent bubble of luxury and soak up every detail. But do make time to stroll out and explore Bree Street, Bo Kaap, galleries, gardens and museums, which are all right on your doorstep.
A complete luxury experience
However if cocooning and uninterrupted time together is what you’re yearning for, the team at Taj Cape Town have curated an exceptional couples’ package. With taste after taste of the luxe life it includes:
- one night’s accommodation in an elegantly appointed luxury room, where timeless charm meets modern comfort
- a lavish breakfast buffet to start your day, served in the welcoming ambiance of The Mint Restaurant & Wood-Fired Grill
- a 60-minute couples massage at the award-winning J Wellness Circle, a serene sanctuary promising total relaxation and rejuvenation
- afternoon tea served in true Taj tradition – a delightful selection of sweet and savoury treats paired with the finest teas
- a gourmet dinner for two at Bombay Brasserie, their signature restaurant renowned for its refined authentic Indian cuisine and rich flavours
If this sounds like your idea of the perfect way to escape the everyday and share some blissful quality time together, simply enter our competition below and stand the chance of winning this complete luxury experience for two.
