Bantry Bay is an exclusive Cape Town suburb sandwiched between the suburbs of Camps Bay and Sea Point on Cape Town’s Atlantic Seaboard. Many of the buildings appear to have been carved out of the granite cliffs overlooking the sea which is directly below.

The luxury apartments are mostly step up terraces, many with infinity pools which give the impression that the pool flows into the sea.
