Ring In 2026 in Style: The President Hotel Is Throwing Cape Town’s Hottest Poolside NYE Bash

Cape Town knows how to throw a party, but when The President Hotel decides to host New Year’s Eve, it becomes the place to be — sun-kissed, glamorous, and deliciously festive.

This year, the iconic Bantry Bay destination is turning its pool deck into a full-blown summer celebration, complete with DJ sets, shimmering views, irresistible food, and a headline performance by the charismatic Booshle G.

Think golden-hour cocktails, dancing barefoot under palm trees, and the kind of energy that feels like the whole city exhaled at once. Yes — this is The President’s NYE, and it’s ready to send you into 2026 with a splash.

🌴 What Guests Can Look Forward To

From 6pm onward, the poolside buzz begins. Guests are welcomed into a vibrant world of music, lights, and flavours, with top Cape Town DJs warming up the decks before Booshle G brings the night home.

🍽️ Food, Drinks & All the Festive Flair

It wouldn’t be a proper Cape Town celebration without great food, and The President delivers. Expect:

  • Canapés and gourmet food stalls

  • Cocktails that taste like summer holidays

  • A midnight toast to welcome the new year in sparkling style

  • Two complimentary drink tokens with every Party Pass

With the sea breeze drifting in and the pool shimmering under the evening lights, every bite and sip tastes like a holiday moment.
