Press & Pot: Where Island Mornings Begin
There’s something about the first sip of coffee—how it sets the tone for the day, how it lingers just long enough to remind you to slow down. At Press & Pot, it’s more than a morning ritual. It’s a moment suspended in time, where the aroma of freshly roasted beans drifts through the island air, carried by the same sea breeze that tousles your hair.

Roasted on the Island, Inspired by the World
A good cup of coffee tells a story, and at Press & Pot, that story begins long before it reaches your hands. The beans are ethically sourced from remote plantations, selected for their depth of flavour and character. But what sets this coffee apart isn’t just its origin—it’s the way it’s roasted right here on the island, in collaboration with Deluxe Coffeeworks, Cape Town. Each batch is carefully tended, coaxing out rich, complex notes that dance between silky caramel, dark chocolate, and a whisper of citrus.
Coffee, Sunlight, and the Sea
Mornings at Villa Nautica unfold at an unhurried pace. Beneath the signature white-and-blue umbrellas, a perfectly poured flat white in hand, you watch the sunlight shimmer across the infinity pool. The scent of warm, flaky croissants mingles with the salty breeze, and for a fleeting moment, nothing else exists—just you, the ocean, and the quiet pleasure of a well-made coffee.

A Ritual Worth Savouring
In a world that moves too fast, Press & Pot is a reminder that some things are best enjoyed slowly. Whether it’s an early morning espresso as the island wakes or an iced latte under the afternoon sun, this is coffee at its purest—crafted with care, meant to be savoured.
So take a breath. Take a sip. And let the island do the rest.
