Umhlanga Couples Escape
Two nights above the lighthouse — long promenade walks, a proper spa afternoon and dinner with the sea in front of you.
The Package
Slow, coastal and grown-up
Umhlanga is Durban at half speed. The promenade runs for kilometres past the lighthouse, the restaurants are genuinely good, and Gateway is fifteen minutes away when you want a break from the view. This is a two-night reset for a couple — no early starts, no packed schedule, and a spa afternoon built in rather than bolted on.

Getting there — your choice
Let us drive. Return transfers from your home or King Shaka International, plus a run into Gateway or Sugar Rush if you want it. Umhlanga itself is walkable, so you will not need a car once you are there.
Self-drive. Prefer your own car? We drop the transport element and adjust the package accordingly — you still get the accommodation, the activities and the full itinerary, plus directions and our local phone support for the whole trip.
Stay & Play
Your base
A sea-facing double room at a well-run Umhlanga hotel or boutique guesthouse within walking distance of the promenade, breakfast included. We book the best sea-view room available in your budget and confirm the property with your quote.
