About Us

We like to think that life’s about taking pleasure in the special moments, like when we first looked out across the V&A basin. We knew that the view from Alba would be an inspiration and that it deserved to be surrounded with something equally rewarding, for others who’d want to appreciate it all. From the start, we imagined Alba Lounge to be the best of both worlds, comfortable and accessible for our guests to relax into yet generous in its style – making real the Italian trademark of luxury through simplicity.

Set at the water’s edge, Alba is perfectly positioned above Hildebrand Restaurant at the Pierhead, within the V&A. With air-conditioning to keep things cool in summer and a roaring fire that makes the lounge cosy in winter, Alba is an ideal venue regardless of the season.

Whether you’ve planned a night out with the girls, a first date or want somewhere with a relaxed atmosphere to catch up with old friends, Alba Lounge is the place to go. Enjoy a sophisticated evening out in a spot that makes you feel right at home. It’s all possible at Cape Town’s V&A Waterfront. Benvenuto!
