Description Panoramic Prize: Cape Town

With enormous floor-to-ceiling windows and a terrace offering superb city and mountain views, this slick penthouse apartment is luxuriously appointed yet laidback in atmosphere. Inside, there’s an open-concept living space dressed in trendy yellow, grey and blue tones and an up-to-the-minute kitchen with plenty of prep space for homemade meals. If you’d like to take advantage of the glorious South African sunshine, head outside and settle into a comfy deck chair as the barbecue sizzles away. Spend afternoons dipping in and out of the lap pool before grabbing your seaside essentials and taking the short drive to Clifton’s unspoilt beaches.

Uncover Cape Town’s deep history at the District Six and Iziko Museums before shopping around Victoria Warf. Give your legs a stretch with a hike through the Table Mountain National Park or take it easy and seek out a relaxed bar in your trendy Green Point neighbourhood for a well-deserved cocktail or two.
