Zimbali Coastal Resort

Located 45km north of Durban and within close proximity to all modern amenities, Zimbali is perfectly positioned to experience the unmatched magnificence of the KwaZulu Natal province.  We particularly like the swimming pools perched on the edge of the beach, with expansive views out over the Indian Ocean.

You can choose to stay in the hotel or we can rent one of the magnificent private homes on the estate for you.  Just let us know what suits you best.

Beach activities
Zimbali is perfect for spending lazy days on a pristine beach as the soft light of a late afternoon makes the golden sand, dark green forest and azure ocean glow. For the actively inclined the Zimbali beach is perfect for surfing and kite-surfing, offers great shore fishing or sea kayaking. Playful schools of dolphin are often spotted just off the breakers.

Mountain biking
Apart from the extensive network of roads within Zimbali, the endless sugarcane farms surrounding Zimbali provide perfect undulating terrain for avid mountain bikers. Rides are only limited by your own endurance and a friendly crew of dedicated male and female riders are regularly seen within the area.

Game walks
The joy of being surrounded by nature and watching bushbuck within yards of your terrace, monkeys at play in the gardens, rare butterflies flutter by, a myriad of small colourful birds actively chirping in the forest canopy overhead, is a memorable quality that draws visitors to Zimbali. The opportunity to walk freely around the various areas of the estate and to literally touch nature seems to rejuvenate the mind and soul.

Running trails
The opportunity to enjoy lengthy runs within a safe and pristine environment is a special treat. The many different nature trails and extensive internal road network allow for runners to create their own trails and set their own limits. The undulating terrain allows for interesting routes with testing climbs.

Golf
The 18 hole par 72 championship Tom Weiskopf designed golf course, rated as one of South Africa’s finest golfing experiences is supported by a well stocked Pro shop, driving range, half-way house and putting greens. See Zimbali Golf Course for full details.

Tennis and squash
Two floodlit tennis courts and two squash courts are available for guests to enjoy.
