Cape Town coastline with Table Mountain

A 10-day Cape Town retreat for founders, remote workers and digital nomads

Ten days in Cape Town with a small group of six to eight people who work for themselves or work remotely. You share a villa, keep your work moving in focused coworking sessions, and spend the rest of the time on Lion's Head, the Cape Peninsula, Stellenbosch wine country and the Atlantic coast.

Every applicant has a short Zoom call with us before any deposit is paid, so the group is the right fit for everyone.

Your Home In Cape Town

An example of the villa you'll call home.

Space to think, space to gather, and a view that resets you every morning. This is the standard of home we curate in Cape Town — the exact villa may differ by retreat, but the quality you see here is what to expect.

Please note: images shown are an example of the calibre of villa we book in Cape Town. The exact home you stay in may vary between retreats, but every property we select meets — or exceeds — this standard.
