Nestled along the gateway to South Africa’s scenic West Coast, Blue Ruby Villa invites you to experience the magic of Melkbosstrand—a charming seaside village known for its natural beauty, relaxed pace, and warm local spirit. Just 35 minutes from Cape Town, it’s the perfect balance of peaceful retreat and convenient access to the city. Why Blue Ruby? The name was inspired by the vibrant sunsets over the Atlantic Ocean—where deep ocean blues meet fiery ruby skies. It’s a place where colors calm the soul, and time slows down. We wanted to create a space where our guests feel that same harmony—where every moment feels like a breath of fresh sea air and a step closer to blissful relaxation. Our village offers something for every kind of traveler. Explore the 7 km stretch of pristine beach with sweeping views of the dunes, Table Mountain, and Robben Island. Head out for mountain biking in the nearby nature reserve (keep your eyes open for local wildlife), try kite surfing, cycle along the scenic coastal path, or venture into the Atlantis dunes for quad biking and sand adventures. Sunset beach walks and a quiet coffee by the sea might be all you need.

As a former host in the beautiful Franschhoek region, I’ve poured my passion for travel and hospitality into transforming our home into Blue Ruby Villa—a space designed to be your home away from home. Whether you're an adventurer, a peace-seeker, or somewhere in between, we’re here to ensure your stay is as memorable as it is relaxing. We’re always happy to help you plan your days, discover hidden gems, or simply share a few local tips.

Melkbosstrand is also known for its friendly community and fantastic eateries—perfect for seaside meals and sundowners with an unforgettable view. Though it feels worlds away, you’re only a short drive from Cape Town’s top attractions including the V&A Waterfront, Table Mountain, and the Cape Winelands.
