Durban Spa

Durban Spa sits on the Golden Mile beachfront in Durban, where the Indian Ocean meets the city. It is a self-catering resort with family studios and apartments sleeping up to eight, each with a kitchen and a balcony or terrace overlooking the water. The units are practical for families, with sleeper couches for children under twelve and kitchens for cooking meals.

The resort is steps from the beach, where you can walk the promenade or swim in the ocean. It is also close to Durban’s attractions: uShaka Marine World is a five-minute drive, and the Durban City Ricksha Bus stops nearby for sightseeing tours. The beachfront location means you can hear the waves from your balcony, and the sea breeze keeps the air fresh.

The apartments are simple and functional, with air conditioning, DStv, and kitchenettes for self-catering. Families often book the two-bedroom units, which sleep six adults and two children, with a double bed in the main room and single beds in the second. The resort is unstaffed, so you manage your own stay, but reception can assist with local tips and bookings.

The Golden Mile promenade runs past the resort, connecting Durban’s beaches and attractions. You can walk to restaurants, shops, and the harbourfront, or take a short drive to uShaka Marine World for family entertainment.
