Spread your wings at The Flamingo: fabulous, futuristic living in the flamboyant heart of Sea Point!

“Like Bauhaus on heat,” is how master architect Robert Silke describes The Flamingo. His curvaceously sculpted nine-storey building marvellously marries the optimistic avante-garde architecture of the 1920s with the flamboyant tropical modernism of great coastal cities like Miami or Rio.

Location

The Flamingo is fabulously located less than 150 metres from the Sea Point Pavilion. It’s without question one of the coolest parts of this characterful, cosmopolitan Atlantic Seaboard suburb, at the start of the much-loved Promenade.

The Flamingo is fabulously located less than 150 metres from the Sea Point Pavilion. It’s without question one of the coolest parts of the characterful cosmopolitan suburb of Sea Point. A stone’s throw away from the start of the much-loved Sea Point Promenade.

And when it’s time to venture further afield, there’s a MyCiTi stop virtually on your doorstep to take you to town, the V&A Waterfront or the beaches of Clifton and Camps Bay. Making The Flamingo pretty much the perfect spot for a fun, fit, tanned and vibrant holiday.

Accommodation

Accommodation options at The Flamingo include round-cornered studios, ingeniously arranged at a 45-degree angle to the grid, which not only provides privacy for each balcony but allows the floor-to-ceiling glass doors to frame world-class mountain views of Lion’s Head.

There are also one-bed corner units, some with frontal views towards the Atlantic Ocean, and some with super-sized porthole windows offering fantastic mountain views. 

Perfectly sized for singles or couples, these fully-furnished apartments maximise space and light, and feature quirky internal curves that mirror the flamingo-shaped rhythm of the façade. It is this level of design love that makes this unique building such a delight to stay in.

Amenities

Every Flamingo apartment features a private balcony with Lion’s Head or sea-facing views, air conditioning, and a comfortably curved work nook, where you can hop online with high-speed Wi-Fi courtesy of Bunny Digital.

K​itchens offer the subtle ostentation of solid Sardo granite countertops, coupled with state-of-the-art SMEG appliances. Gleaming white floors and warm white walls are offset with a cheerful pop of pink from the feature wall. Bathrooms boast unique curved showers and traditional small wall tiles.

The reception area on the ground floor offers round-the-clock security and concierge services, but access to the building and the apartments is via a hi-tech, smartphone-based access control system. A rooftop terrace provides superb mountain views – a perfect accompaniment to sunset cocktails.

Attractions

Flamingo foodies have an incredible variety to choose from just metres from their front door; everything from the posh La Perla or the high-energy Jarryds, to the 30 world food stalls of the ever-vibey Mojo Market, which also offers live music, craft beers and a bevy of artisan retailers. 

It’s truly a shopper’s paradise too, with The Piazza St. John’s, The Point Shopping Centre and Arthur’s Mini Super all within a short walk.

But it’s really the Promenade that is the premium attraction of the suburb, with its outdoor gyms, secret surf breaks, sunset picnic spots, and the kilometres of seaside cycling, rollerblading, jogging and strolling that stretch from here to Three Anchor Bay and Mouille Point. Not to mention the Pavilion’s Olympic-sized pool for some serious swimming. Or the Hot Dog Yoga Studio to get your flow going!

If you’re in search of sun, sea, fabulous food and beautiful people, The Flamingo is the perfect spot to fluff out your tail feathers!
