Dip into paradise

While Durban is renowned for its warm-water beaches and seaside promenade activities, its freshwater spots offer a tranquil escape from the busier shores. The Paradise Valley Nature Reserve is home to relaxing hiking trails as well as a majestic waterfall and rock pools that make for ideal picnic spots to cool down and unwind in while escaping the Durban heat.

Soak up the Durban art scene

This metropolitan hub of KZN is home to many local creatives. This has led to the birth of a vibrant art scene in Durban as well as a plethora of art galleries for visitors to browse and peruse. Spend the day gallery and museum-hopping to explore another layer to the tapestry of this thriving region. You can even opt to treat yourself to an original and locally crafted art piece to take home with you after your stay.

Massage away the tension with a spa visit

A day of exploring can leave you with some tension in your joints and muscles. Opt to have it unwound with a visit to one of the rejuvenating and luxury spas dotted around the region. You can enjoy a relaxing full body massage of your choice or a revitalising facial and mani-pedi and more all while enjoying some of the best seaside views the city has to offer at Spa Suncoast Hotel & Towers, Mangwanani uShaka Boutique Spa, and more…

A visit to the aptly named Spicy City would be incomplete without getting a taste for the fragrant and flavourful cuisine available at the local restaurants. Whether you choose a coastal dining experience like Havana Grill or Cargo Hold Restaurant in uShaka Marine World or an in-land dining experience at Dukkah Restaurant & Bar or Butcher Boys Morningside – there’s a wide range of fine dining venues to choose from.
