Welcome to The Shores

Your sub-tropical home by the sea

Tucked into a quiet, secure corner of Ramsgate — yet minutes from the buzz of Margate and Shelly Beach — The Shores is a boutique complex of just sixteen luxury apartments, some of the most sought-after self-catering accommodation in Ramsgate. The lagoon curves to your right, an unspoilt swimming beach stretches out in front, and lifeguards keep watch through the holidays and weekends.

Each apartment is fully air-conditioned and finished with warm, Bali-inspired interiors: three generous bedrooms, two bathrooms, an open-plan living space and a private patio with a braai. Bring the whole family, unpack once, and let the coast do the rest.

Truly amazing. Beautifully decorated and ideally located just a few steps from the beach. Great for a family, but equally so for couples.

The units were cosy and fitted six people comfortably. The best part was that we were right by the beach.
