Villa del Mar: A Coastal Masterpiece of Luxury Living & Proven Investment
Proudly and exclusively presented by Royal Properties, Villa del Mar is a definitive statement of luxury and astute opportunity. This double-story coastal sanctuary in exclusive Betty’s Bay is not only an architecturally designed family home but also a thriving, turnkey self-catering business—offering the ultimate blend of personal enjoyment and financial return.
The Setting: A UNESCO Biosphere Sanctuary
Located just an hour from Cape Town along the scenic Clarence Drive (R44), Betty’s Bay is a picturesque village nestled between the rugged Kogelberg Mountains and the Atlantic Ocean. Villa del Mar sits at the heart of the Cape Floral Kingdom, the smallest yet second-most diverse plant kingdom on Earth.
Nature’s Playground: Explore the Harold Porter Botanical Gardens (known as ‘Little Kirstenbosch’), stretching from mountain-top to sea with over 50 species of Ericas and the rare red Disa.
Wildlife at your Doorstep: Walk to the Stony Point Nature Reserve, home to one of South Africa’s only four mainland African Penguin colonies.
Unspoilt Serenity: Unlike its busy neighbor Hermanus, Betty’s Bay offers a laid-back vibe, protected by the Kogelberg Biosphere Reserve—the first UNESCO-declared biosphere in South Africa.
A Sanctuary of Light, Space & Style
Crafted to celebrate its breathtaking Overberg setting, this residence masterfully blends walls of glass, soaring ceilings, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow. The result is a living experience bathed in natural light and panoramic views, finished to an immaculate standard of serene sophistication.
The Ultimate Entertaining Pavilion
The heart of the home is designed for grand-scale hosting across both levels:
Ground Floor: A spectacular, sun-drenched open-plan living area flows into a dedicated indoor braai room. Retractable stacker doors open to a magnificent wooden pool deck—your private resort featuring a heated swimming pool and built-in Jacuzzi.
Second Floor: Elevating the experience, the upper level features an expansive entertainment area with a second indoor braai and a cozy fireplace. This ensures year-round warmth while soaking in elevated coastal vistas.
A Chef’s Culinary Studio & Luxurious Quarters
The ultra-modern kitchen, equipped with premium appliances, is a chef’s dream. Accommodation includes four well-appointed bedrooms:
Ground Floor: A Queen-size en-suite sanctuary (Room 1) and a bright Queen room (Room 2) serviced by a luxury family bath.
Second Floor: A sleek Queen en-suite (Room 3) and a fourth generous Queen bedroom serviced by a luxury family bath. This level also features a dedicated space for an inspiring home workspace with ocean views.

Proven Income Stream: A turnkey venture with existing clientele and operational systems.
