Umngazi Hotel & Spa

Check availability here! (Good luck. ;-)

Tucked away on the Wild Coast, in the heart of Pondoland, and encompassed by a rocky coastline, indigenous forests, secluded coves and breathtaking views of the Indian Ocean, lies the award winning Umngazi Hotel & Spa. It is an ultimate refuge for those seeking to refresh, restore and re-connect.  

Umngazi is a family orientated resort that aims to offer the best value for money with a delicate blend of genuine indigenous delights and home comforts.

Civilisation is miles away and the surrounding hills are only sparsely dotted with colourful Xhosa huts. The resort is geared for family vacations so while you get your far-from-it-all-holiday, the children won’t be complaining of boredom.

Caretakers, activity rooms, an elaborate playground and a large splash pool will keep the little ones entertained, but everyone can enjoy games on the grass, fishing expeditions and swimming in the river. Jump on the boat to the opposite bank, clamber over the white dunes and flop onto the main beach. The only people you’ll encounter here are other guests.

The lunchtime buffet on the deck features everything from fish and chips to prawn pasta and a string of salads and desserts. The kids’ dining room will give them their fill of bright orange carrots, green peas and mash.

Abandon the fun and laughter for an afternoon and head to the award-winning Spa, perched at the highest point of the property. Catch your breath on the balcony while admiring Umngazi’s best beach views.  The spa offers seclusion, breath-taking panoramic views of the Indian Ocean and the sights, sounds and smells of the sea mingle with nature constantly.

Our dedicated, experienced therapists pride themselves to cater for individual needs providing advanced skin and body therapies to a soundtrack of nothing but breakers, bird calls and the odd glimpse of pods of dolphins or a whale or two. Guests leave feeling relaxed, pampered and rejuvenated.

Weekly fly-in packages are available Friday to Friday from Durban where you fly at 600 feet above sea level along the beautiful coastline – a wonderful way to start your holiday.
