There are few places in the world where nature paints a landscape of such exquisite beauty as it does around Plettenberg Bay.
Lying on the shores of a bay so lovely it was called Bahia Formosa (meaning beautiful bay) by the first Portuguese explorers, Plettenberg Bay is the destination for the discerning polo player/tourist in search of spectacular polo facilities, scenery and excitement.
The polo patrons owning the above properties have brought a new dimension to Plett with foreign investment and tourism. With the growth of polo and its related facilities they recently employed the services of a full time Polo Director, Clive Peddle, to administer and organize polo in Plettenberg Bay.
It has 18 kilometers of unspoiled, gleaming beaches stretching either side of the town. It is now indisputably the new mecca for polo in South Africa with polo estates such as Kurland, Kurland Park, Stonefield and Bitou House offering world-class facilities during their polo tournaments from December to Easter. For polo visitors, Plett offers a wide range of other activities such as the highest bungy jump in the world at the Bloukrans Bridge, boat trips to see the majestic Southern Right whales, forest wagon trails, Monkeyland, the Knysna elephant park, sea kayaking, abseiling, glider trips and scenic walks to name a few.
The Plett polo season extends from the beginning of December through to the end of April with the main emphasis being over December/January and Easter. In between these periods weekend tournaments take place over two weekends affording business men the opportunity of taking part without interrupting their work schedules. Alternatively, a family can take a ten day holiday in Plett with the added pleasure of participating in a polo tournament.
