A meeting place for innovative social business approaches and development of all types of ideas or products. Welcome to Cape Town’s hippest urban hostel! We’ve got everything you need: from dorms to deluxe doubles, and obviously a cool Café & bar, free WiFi and a swimming pool with views of Table Mountain! The Villa Viva is perfectly situated in the heart of Cape Town. We are within walking distan

ce of many bars, restaurants and popular attractions like Green Market Square, Company’s Gardens and the Bo-Kaap. We’re a 5 minute taxi or bus ride from V&A Waterfront, and 10 minutes from the Table Mountain Cable Car Station. We have it all: dorms, doubles and singles, with shared or private bathroom facilities. All our rooms are individually designed in a funky and fresh style, and bedding is supplied (just bring a towel). All rooms have a safe and free WiFi, and there is parking with 24-hour security available. A meet & greet airport shuttle is available at an additional cost. Children are welcome in private rooms. Our Café and bar will keep you fed and watered (or whatever else tickles your fancy – we’re fully licensed). A delicious free breakfast is included. We also have a fully equipped self-catering kitchen, a pool table, swimming pool and a cool shop. And, even though we’d all rather not do chores, we’ve got a laundry, luggage storage and an ATM. Our Travel Centre will help you make the most of your stay in Cape Town and beyond. Want to sip wine Cape winelands style? Visit historic and cultural sites? Go paragliding? Or even volunteer some of your time to a community project? We’ve got it covered! The Villa Viva is not just the hippest hostel in town; we also work hard to make a positive difference through the way we work, the way we live and the way we are. Whether you get involved actively in one of our projects, or just support us by being our guest, your visit will contribute to making South Africa a better place for everyone.

‘Not too laid back, not too loud—guests love The Villa Viva and it's easy to see why. For years it has stayed ahead of the crowd by constantly adapting, yet always offering top notch accommodation for the price and wonderfully clued-up service from its desk.’ – Lonely Planet

Music. Community. Clean Water. 🌍💙

Last week, Villa Viva had the absolute honor of being part The Bow Out event . A powerful celebration hosted by the co-creators from Bridges for Music,

As they wrap up their journey at the academy, they brought their talent, their beats, and their voices, performing live and showing everyone what creative activism looks like in action. The ultimate drop! 🎧💧

Through our partnership with , we love seeing how the universal language of sound connects back to our mission of water, sanitation, and hygiene for all.

To the Imbewu class: This isn’t the end, it’s just the intro. Thank you for sharing your final bow with us! 🎓🎶 💦

It’s not just a place, it’s a feeling ♥️

Every room tells a story 🌍
This one honors Nkosi Johnson, a brave young voice who helped change how the world sees HIV & AIDS. Despite his short life, Nkosi stood for dignity, equality, and compassion, reminding us all that we are more alike than different.

When you stay with us, you’re not just booking a room,- you’re stepping into a legacy of courage and impact.

A strong team, a global crew, and people who show up with purpose. It’s the everyday moments, the shared work, and the support in between that turn this into real impact.

Something new to discover at Villa Viva.
We’re happy to share “Eagle Vision” by south african artist ✨ now part of our space here in Cape Town.

For us, it’s more than just a new artwork—it’s another layer of perspective, creativity, and conversation added to the house.
It brings a new perspective into the space and becomes part of what defines it.

Next time you’re here, take a moment with it.🌍

Inspired by the work of Esther Mahlangu, this room carries the spirit of Ndebele art, cultural pride, and creative expression. Known for her distinctive geometric patterns and vibrant colors, she has preserved and shared Ndebele traditions across generations, becoming a symbol of cultural pride and continuity. ✨

Each space at Villa Viva carries a name, a story, and a sense of purpose🌍
