Suite Canyon South Africa

Nestled on a dramatic cliff-side in an exclusive eco-lodge in the Nambiti Game Reserve, Suite Canyon is an impeccably styled retreat, with a dash of safari-style glamour.
Ethnic artefacts, safari prints and authentic local flavour, natural raw materials and an at-oneness with the local surroundings give this chic retreat its gracious feel. Guests can enjoy the warmth of Zulu hospitality, in the heart of a spectacular reserve.
Sophisticated, yet earthy – this idyll gets it right. Think stone hearths with a colonial safari vibe, refined with crisp linens and sleek finishes. Gallic elegance meets African panache with much-regaled dining – eating here is a sensory journey.
This stylish haven offers both privacy – it is ideal as a romantic getaway for a couple, as well as convivial spaces, including the “boma”, the bar, the beautiful terrace, the patio and the infinity pool. Overlooking the Sunday River, guests can enjoy staggering views of the savannah and the bush. Taking an outdoor shower, with the sounds and scents of nature around you will be an unparalleled experience.
Reclining with a glass of South African wine while the sun sets over the valley will etch its image in guests’ memories. Stepping inside, at the end of a busy day, this home features one well-proportioned bedroom, complete with billowing cotton drapes, natural timbers and nods to the local culture, and ultra-refined living space.
Local silks, fabrics and artwork add a rustic vibe, will every comfort is impeccably in place. Wandering down to the restaurant for a meal under the stars will be a delight; the Parisian owners fuse subtle flavours, African spice and world-class cuisine for something rather special.
