Villa Claybrook – Iconic Seafront Living Above Glen Beach

Lifestyle Introduction

Villa Claybrook is a rare and evocative seaside retreat set directly above the legendary Glen Beach in Camps Bay. Blending afro-chic elegance, classic luxury, and modern comfort, this four-bedroom estate offers an extraordinary coastal experience where ocean, mountain, and heritage architecture converge. With three distinct lodgings on one exclusive property, Villa Claybrook is designed for guests seeking privacy, space, and an authentic sense of place.

Property Description

Positioned above the surfers of Glen Beach, Villa Claybrook enjoys uninterrupted sea views on one side and dramatic mountain backdrops on the other. The property consists of three separate buildings — all rented together for exclusive use — each offering a unique atmosphere while flowing seamlessly around a central pool and outdoor living space.

The Main House, a declared National Heritage site, features original wooden floors, marble surfaces, and timeless décor filled with antique and bespoke furnishings. Every room has been thoughtfully curated, creating a warm, welcoming home with a strong sense of history and elegance.

The Grand Pavilion, a modern architectural addition, sits alongside the lap pool and introduces crisp, light-filled interiors with contemporary finishes. Expansive glass doors, open-plan living, and elevated sea views make this space ideal for gathering, entertaining, or simply watching the sun set over the Atlantic.

The Granny Flat, tucked discreetly behind the main house, offers additional accommodation with its own kitchenette and bathroom — ideal for extended family, staff, or guests seeking extra privacy.

With generous indoor-outdoor living areas, heritage charm, modern amenities, and full backup power, Villa Claybrook delivers a truly immersive Camps Bay seaside escape.
