What makes The Royal Portfolio different

The Royal Portfolio is a purpose-driven, family-owned luxury travel and hospitality brand with iconic properties in South Africa’s most sought-after travel destinations. A leader in art, style, service and personal touches, we offer a premium African experience like no other.

Iconic Locations

Our hotels and lodges are found in South Africa’s four key destinations, in impossible-to-beat locations, forming a perfect circuit that includes a safari, the wine country, a coastal experience and the art and culture of Cape Town. We strive to give every guest a perfect stay by allowing them to escape, relax and be in a beautiful environment.

Superb design, Style & Service

Liz Biden, the matriarch of the family business, is acclaimed for her style, interior design and sense of hospitality. Her curatorship can be seen across our unique properties, each with their own character and identity. This touch of sophistication extends to every single member of staff, who are bound by one common goal: to give our guests a perfect stay.

Tailor-made Travel Planning

The Royal Portfolio has carefully crafted several luxury travel packages, which offer different property combinations, provide exceptional value and are curated in such a manner that sees the destinations mesh together perfectly. Our packages vary in length and can be personalised according to your specific interests and needs.

Our Impact

Your stay contributes to sustainability and helps us uplift local communities, promote conservation and protect the environment. Sustainable tourism is vital for a long-term future for African tourism based on partnership and community benefit. Our properties practice their own ongoing sustainability initiatives unique to their environment.
