Is the The Sands @ St Francis for Me?

Rolling waves, dolphins and whales are the welcome that awaits at The Sands, an impressive white-walled thatched-roof residence with sweeping views of the sun-drenched beach and glistening sea. A relaxed and informal atmosphere is reflected in the African beach style décor. Spacious air-conditioned bedrooms offer luxury and style, each opening onto a private deck with breathtaking views of the beach below.

Five spacious en-suite bedrooms, all individually decorated in majestic African Beach style, come complete with state of the art amenities, air conditioning, Jacuzzi’s and private timber decks overlooking the beach below.

The secluded pool deck and the adjacent steam room ensure complete relaxation and revitalisation. Beauty therapy and massage facilities are available on request.
