Durban

Not unlike the iconic lighthouse just across the road, The Oyster Box is a coastal beacon of Umhlanga Rocks. Treat yourself to a relaxing massage at the spa or unwind by the pool with a drink in your hand. There is no wrong way to have a good time at The Oyster Box.

The all-suite, five-star Teremok Marine Lodge in Umhlanga is nothing short of enchanting. From its individually designed (and scented) suites and richly decorated spa and tranquil gardens, to its exquisite location on Marine drive (within walking distance of the beach) – Teremok will delight the senses and restore the soul.

Sitting quite literally down the road from its sister hotel on Avondale Road, the Quarters Hotel on Florida offers its guests comfort and convenience in the hot heart of Durban. Thanks to its oh-so-central spot, the hotel is only a stone’s throw away from Durban’s restaurants and bars – but, with The Brasserie on the premises, you’ll never need to even leave the hotel.

Featuring a natural zen-like flow through its wide open spaces, floating timber staircases, dining room, lounge, bar and out on to its deck, Endless Horizons Boutique Hotel is a serene environment in which water plays an integral role. Follow the flow to the striking infinity pool with views over the Indian Ocean.

With only 10 Suites, Canelands Beach Club and Spa promises an intimate and opulent beachfront retreat on South Africa’s Dolphin Coast. Minutes from the airport and Ballito, and two hours from the region’s game reserves, Canelands is your ultimate gateway to KwaZulu-Natal. 

Affordable yet affable accommodation awaits at Protea Hotel Umhlanga. Centrally located in Umhlanga Rocks, a short walk from the beach, and a quick drive to the airport, Durban, and a plethora of other surrounding attractions, this is a superb base for travellers exploring KwaZulu-Natal’s coastline.
