Bidvest Sky Lounge
★3.7(868 reviews)CPT · International Departures Terminal
A light-filled lounge above CPT's international departures — Star Alliance access and floor-to-ceiling windows.
The Bidvest Sky Lounge is a Star Alliance lounge set above the International Departures terminal at Cape Town International, giving it a sense of calm separation from the bustle below. Floor-to-ceiling windows bathe the space in natural light, and the contemporary decor pairs plush seating with soothing neutral tones. The lighting is soft and warm, noise levels are low, and the gentle hum of conversation and the occasional clink of glasses set an unhurried mood. The overall feel is one of understated elegance — a relaxing place to escape the terminal and settle in before an international flight. For Star Alliance passengers leaving Cape Town, it's a comfortable, light-filled choice.
