Rooftop clubhouse with yoga, sauna, swims & work space

It’s open from 7am to 5.30pm. 5 reasons to go Light House Holistic

Last updated: Tuesday, 5 May 2026

What you come in for is rarely the only thing you end up doing at this wellness clubhouse. Light House Holistic, which is open from 7am to 5:30pm, has a yoga studio, saltwater pool, mountain-facing sauna, coworking lounge, and a café. Here are five reasons to visit.

If you’ve been meaning to build a more intentional rhythm into your week, this is a good place to start. Image: Light House Holistic

1. WORK HERE FOR THE DAY

You can base yourself at the quiet, light-filled lounge with long wooden tables, seating nooks, and glass doors that open onto a terrace with a pool.

You’ll see people on their laptops taking calls, then stepping away for a class or quick swim. The deli and café make it easy to stay put with coffee, smoothies, toasties and light bowls.

The lounge is calm and minimal, with pale wood, soft seating and natural light. Image: Light House Holistic

2. SWIM & SAUNA WITH MOUNTAIN VIEWS

The 13-metre saltwater pool is set along a wooden terrace overlooking the city skyline, with cream umbrellas, potted greenery, and built-in seating running alongside it.

The sauna sits just off the deck, facing Table Mountain, so you’re looking out at the mountain while you detox.

Access to the pool and sauna are included with most passes, which means you can move between a class, a swim and a sauna session in one visit, or just pop in for a yoga class after work.

3. DAILY YOGA CLASSES IN CAPE TOWN

Yoga is what grounds the space. Classes move at a slower pace, with time to settle into each pose and adjust without pressure. There are no mirrors, no heated rooms, and no expectation to keep up; it’s not performative.

The focus is on alignment and awareness, rather than pushing for deeper stretches, faster flows, or perfect poses.

Some arrive having never done yoga before. Expect everyone from 60-year-olds who come several times a week, to busy creatives dropping in after gym for a stretch and a shower.

4. BREATHWORK, SOUND BATHS, MEDITATION

There are other wellness experiences beyond yoga. Breathwork is one of the most popular. It uses guided breathing techniques to regulate stress and bring the body back into balance.

Sound baths are even more accessible: you lie down while crystal bowls and gongs create vibrations that help the body settle into a deeper state of rest. Find the full experiences and classes schedule on Light House Holistic’s website.

Sessions often centre around stillness; lying down, listening, and letting the space do the work. Image: Light House Holistic

5. ROOFTOP VENUE ON BREE STREET

The same rooftop that works for quiet mornings can also be booked for private events, using the studio, lounge and rooftop (catering and bar service included at an additional cost).

They’ve hosted masterclasses for brands like Lancôme, product launches for Lipton, and intimate celebrations like birthdays and baby showers.

The studio hosts up to 80 people seated, and for larger cocktail-style events, the entire rooftop is available for up to 150 guests.

The rooftop moves easily from a quiet daytime space to a more social, open setting for events. Image: Light House Holistic

HOW TO ACCESS LIGHT HOUSE HOLISTIC

You don’t get locked into a contract like at a traditional gym.

You can drop in for a single class, spend a full day moving between the pool, sauna and workspace, or sign up for a monthly pass that becomes part of your routine.

For pricing and pass options, read more about Light House Holistic’s membership access.

A single class already gives you access to the space, including the lounge, pool and wifi, which makes it an easy first step. Image: Light House Holistic
