• Zimbali Lodge

Under The Forest Canopy Overlooking The Ocean

Zimbali Lodge has long lured in visitors making their way up the north coast of KwaZulu-Natal. With leaning palms, subtropical gardens, and a classy resort-style, this is just the place to lean back and let nature soothe your soul.

Zimbali, meaning “valley of flowers” in isiZulu, perfectly captures the iconic Zimbali Coastal Resort in which the property is situated. A stay here will set you within five minutes’ drive from the thriving hub of Ballito, and just 20 minutes’ drive from King Shaka International Airport.

Whether you arrive with a loved one, your family or as a solo traveller, expect to be pampered like a movie star by the attentive valets, and knowledgeable concierge.

It’s up to you how you spend your days, but when you’re ready to venture further afield, there are traditional game parks and marine reserves to choose from, as well as glittering coastlines, estuaries and wetlands to explore within the surrounding region.
