Umhlanga Couples Escape
Two nights above the lighthouse — long promenade walks, a proper spa afternoon and dinner with the sea in front of you.
Price is from, based on current accommodation rates and included activities. Some activities carry seasonal or group discounts that may change the final total — we confirm the exact price with your quote.
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.
