A big wow of a KwaZulu-Natal holiday is the warm ocean. We offer four fabulous beach getaways in KwaZulu-Natal, each one with its own style and particular offerings.
Sala Beach House, Shaka’s Rock
Sala Beach House basks at the seafront at picturesque Shaka’s Rock on the north coast of KwaZulu-Natal. Take in endless ocean views, and dip in an infinity pool perched above the sea. You will also have private access to a tidal pool and beautiful swimming beach at Thompson’s Bay. The main house offers accommodation in four guest rooms and three suites. There is also a self-contained, three-bedroom villa with its own pool, living area and kitchen for guests who enjoy complete privacy. The restaurant is open for all-day dining as well as dinner. In between outings to the beach guests can treat themselves to healing therapies at the on-site wellness spa. Mail us.

Thonga Beach Lodge
An utterly idyllic beach holiday awaits at the sublime Thonga Beach Lodge, set in tropical dune forest just metres from a pristine wilderness beach at Mabibi Bay on the Elephant Coast of KwaZulu-Natal. The area forms part of the iSimangaliso Wetland Park World Heritage Site. Giant turtles come to these shores annually, between November and February, to birth their young, and one of the highlights of a stay here is a night excursion to view these turtles on the shoreline. Thonga’s exclusive experience of barefoot luxury also includes snorkeling on a protected reef; diving with launches in front of the lodge; swimming with whale sharks, dolphins and manta rays; and kayaking on Lake Sibaya. Wellness treatments are another irresistible option, in between beach leisure stints. Twelve luxurious thatched rooms – a few with private pools – are tucked into the dune forest overlooking Mabibi beach. Mail us.
