SOUTH AFRICA’S BEACHES AMONG WORLD’S BEST – CELEBRATED IN GLOBAL “SUN-RATED” GUIDE

SOUTH AFRICA’S BEACHES AMONG WORLD’S BEST – CELEBRATED IN GLOBAL “SUN-RATED” GUIDE

Four of South Africa’s most beloved beaches have been recognised among the world’s best in the newly launched Corona Beach 100 — a first-of-its-kind global guide celebrating the most breathtaking coastal destinations on earth.

The guide’s ‘Sun Rating’ system, inspired by Michelin-style guide but rooted in natural wonder, were determined by an international panel of oceanographers, surfers, free divers, and environmentalists, with one sun for beaches worth the trip, two for those worth the journey, and three for destinations considered life-changing.

In South Africa, Kraalbaai in Langebaan was awarded the top-tier three-sun rating, celebrated for its untouched beauty and tranquil lagoon waters. Boulders Beach, home to the country’s famous penguin colony, earned a two-sun rating for its unique wildlife and serenity. Meanwhile, the idyllic Nature’s Valley, Plettenberg Bay and the iconic Camps Bay, Cape Town, each received one sun, making them must-visit spots for both South Africans and global travellers in search of unforgettable seaside moments seeking unforgettable seaside moments.

The guide is part of Corona’s global centennial celebrations, honouring 100 years of living the beachside lifestyle — and encouraging people everywhere to embrace a life lived outdoors. Through this celebration, the brand pays tribute to its legacy of connecting with nature, slowing down, and embodying the art of relaxation.

“Corona has always had a deep-rooted connection to outdoor living — it’s in the DNA of the brand,” said Vaughan Croeser, Vice President of Marketing at South African Breweries. “This connection has driven a century of innovation rooted in simplicity, sustainability, and the belief that nature brings out our best selves. Through initiatives like the Corona Beach 100, we’re proud to continue inspiring people to reconnect with the outdoors and appreciate the world’s natural wonders.”

South Africans can look forward to a series of Corona 100 celebrations taking place locally over the coming months.

About us

Actually, Home Food and Travel offers a lot more than just reviews of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.  We also visit great destinations, receive advice from interior designers and stop to smell the roses and taste the coffee.

Our team of journalists are seasoned travels and love visiting the myriad of exciting places around South Africa.  Whether it is off the beaten track or in the heart of the top attractions of the country, we’ll be there,

Home Food and Travel advice on finding the right accommodation

So what is the right accommodation?  Well more often than not, it’s your travel budget that dictates the type of accommodation that you choose. 

Expensive is not always better.  Our team at Home Food and Travel will tell you that they have camped in areas with limited ablutions and had a wonderful holiday.  They have also spent a night in a five star hotel only to be disappointed because their expectations exceeded the experience.

The reason for your travels will also affect your choice.  A business trip requires different amenities to a beach holiday. 

Our articles, reviews and experiences can certainly help you make your decision.

Restaurants with a good mix of service, food and ambiance

To my mind a great restaurant offers three things – excellent service, great food and a wonderful ambiance.  Of these, service is the most important. 

No matter that the food is delicious and the setting delightful, poor service can ruin the occasion.  However, great service combined with mediocre meal and a plane jane restaurant can still be a pleasant night out.

We’ve eaten in restaurants that are really dirty but with incredible food and couldn’t help but give a rave review.  We’ve also hardly noticed what we ate because the setting was just amazing.

However, the best restaurants come with the best of service, food and ambiance.

Spas are the ultimate relaxation aid

How do you know when you have had a great spa experience?  The answer, of course, is when you doze off on the treatment table. 

Well that’s our theory anyway.  It also doesn’t take a grand location with enormous facilities for a spa to be really good

A small, personal spa that is owner run can result in the best massage you have ever experienced.  However, the grand spas in five star hotels offer unsurpassed facilities in an environment that just makes the stress in your shoulders and neck melt away before you even finish checking in.

Adventure!

You don’t have to be an adrenaline junky to enjoy an exciting experience.  In fact, what are commonly termed adventure activities usually have incredibly high safety standards and unblemished safety records.

Ziplining, bungy jumping and shark cage diving are all very safe.  It’s just that our mind tells us we are craaazzzzyyyy to be doing this.

On the road to great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities

If you’re driving, be safe and make use of all the wonderful farm stalls that populate South Africa’s open roads.

If you overhear somebody asking a lot of questions or see someone taking photos of empty bedrooms chances are it’s one of our Home Food and Travel team members.

We’re out looking or those great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.

See you on the road!
