Opening in March 2027, Mar joins Terra on the Platinum Mile as O’Two Hotels becomes a dual-concept group, with 68 residential-style rooms, a rooftop pool and a dedicated spa floor to follow…
O’Two Hotels is set to open Mar, a luxury oceanfront hotel on the Mouille Point coast, in March 2027. The Cape Town boutique group is evolving into a dual-concept brand, with Mar sitting alongside the existing lifestyle-led Terra to offer two distinct ways of experiencing the city from a single address on the Platinum Mile.
The hotels occupy a ribbon of Atlantic oceanfront between the sea and a protected urban green belt, with views taking in Table Mountain, Signal Hill, Lion’s Head and the ocean horizon. The group takes its identity from this meeting of sea and land, which is expressed in Mar and Terra, each with its own character and philosophy.

Mar is conceived as a refined oceanfront retreat for guests who value space, privacy and a personalised approach to luxury. Open layouts, ocean light and uninterrupted Atlantic views shape the interiors, while amenities include a rooftop pool, a heated open-air deck and destination dining.
The hotel has 68 residential-style guest rooms, 28 of them spacious suites. Each has a private balcony, a workstation and a walk-in rain shower stocked with Voya amenities. Interconnecting configurations suit families and groups while keeping each suite private.
“Mar represents a defining moment for O’Two Hotels and a natural evolution of our vision,” says Riaan Sinclair Drever, Managing Director of O’Two Hotels. “As we grow, our commitment remains unchanged: to deliver exceptional hospitality through genuine service, thoughtful design and meaningful guest experiences.”

Metamorph Spa and Wellness joins Mar in October 2027, occupying its own dedicated floor on the eighth level. Conceived as a place to slow down, it offers ocean views and bespoke full-body journeys tailored to individual wellbeing needs.
Facilities include a sauna, hammam, ice plunge pool and mineral pool. Advanced facials and aesthetic clinic treatments are delivered by expert aesthetic doctors and visiting practitioners, using local and international organic products. A state-of-the-art gym and wellness studio completes the offering, with classes spanning sound healing, Pilates, yoga, grounding and meditation. Until the spa opens, Mar guests have full access to the O’Two Spa and fitness centre at Terra.
Where Mar invites stillness, Terra invites movement. The group’s existing hotel draws inspiration from the mountains, the rugged beauty of the Karoo and South Africa’s biodiversity. Its 33 rooms and suites combine contemporary interiors with social spaces, and suit travellers who want to tune into the pulse of the city. Guests can move between exploring Cape Town and poolside downtime, with access to the rooftop pool, O’Two Spa and fitness centre.

Two celebrated South African restaurant concepts, Le Parc and Kolonaki, open on Mouille Point’s boulevard in December 2026, ahead of Mar.
Le Parc brings the joie de vivre of Paris to the seafront. Part food emporium, it draws on the French capital’s cafés, patisseries and markets. Guests can browse sweet treats and freshly baked bread at the bakery, shop for artisanal products or settle in for a leisurely lunch of classic French cooking with a contemporary twist. Colourful interiors, candy-striped details and floral displays inspired by French flower markets complete the picture.
Kolonaki channels Greek hospitality and meze culture. Led by Chef Vassilios Holiasmenos, it welcomes every guest like family, with a menu built around sharing. The small plates, which range from homemade dips to tempura aubergine, are designed to encourage diners to linger.

More relaxed alfresco dining is available at the pool decks, where dishes from Kolonaki can be enjoyed beside The Terrace or with panoramic views at The Rooftop. Papillon, a laid-back lounge defined by a crystal butterfly chandelier and rich green interiors, serves coffee by day and expertly crafted cocktails by night.
Mouille Point is a relaxed, compact and walkable residential neighbourhood, known for its seafront promenade busy with runners and cyclists, independent cafés, historic lighthouse and memorable sunsets. It is minutes from the V&A Waterfront, the city centre and Cape Town Stadium, and a short drive from Table Mountain, Camps Bay and Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden, pairing access to the city’s cultural and culinary scene with the calm of a seaside neighbourhood.
