BONA DEA
PRIVATE ESTAte

At the gateway to the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, near Hermanus - a world-renowned whale watching destination - Bona Dea Private Estate is a secluded haven of luxury, surrounded ty vineyards, mountains, and wild fynbos. Normally closed to the public, this exclusive property opens for an experience designed to challenge, restore, and inspire. Here, MVMT is more than training - it’s an immersion. Functional workouts in breathtaking surroundings, adventure woven into the lard, and recovery as intentional as the effort. Conquer trails, surf the ocean waves, or soar above the valley, with every moment pushing limits and awakening the senses.

Between it all, there's space to reset - restorative yoga, ice baths, gourmet meals, and evenings savouring world-class wires under endless skies. More than a getaway, this is a recalibration -blending fitness, nature, and luxury to leave you stronger, clearer, and more alive.
