Zimbali Lodge
This 370 hectare resort estate is one of outstanding natural beauty and magnificent ocean views. Soak up the sun on the beach and play in the waves of the warm and inviting Indian Ocean.
The Dolphin Coast shoreline offers a combination of golden beaches and secluded coves for water sport enthusiasts. The Dolphin coast is home to over two hundred bottle-nose dolphins. These delightful creatures graciously accept our sea-borne excursions to experience their beauty and mischievousness close-up. Beyond the breakers, the unique sighting of Humpbacked whales en route north to the breeding grounds off Mozambique, provide a thrilling spectacle.
Every luxurious bedroom at Zimbali opens onto a private, furnished balcony offering sweeping views down the valley to the sea. They offer hand-carved mahogany beds,ornate armoires and ceilings clad in sisal matting - all reminiscent of the baronial homes of sugar magnates from years gone by. The bedside lamps are never the same in any given suite and air vents are carved scenes of Africa, so rich is the detailing. The splendid bathrooms feature freestanding Victorian bathtubs and seperate showers. Falling asleep at night to the crashing of waves is a sheer delight.
Zimbali offers its guests the opportunity to relax or explore. The lodge itself is sheer self-indulgence and provides a myriad of contexts for relaxation: unwind in your own luxurious room or next to the designer pool, take a stroll on the beautiful estate, or soak up the sun on the beach and play in the waves of the warm and inviting Indian ocean. For the ultimate in self-indulgence, treat yourself at the hotel's health and beauty spa. Zimbali is also within easy driving distance of cosmopolitan Durban, Shakaland (a recreation of a traditional Zulu village), the Ghandi Temple in Tongaat, and a host of other destinations reflecting the ecological and cultural diversity of this section of Kwazulu-Natal
Zimbali Lodge is a verdant retreat that will revive and refresh the weariest traveller who is certain to be delighted with this elegant, sophisticated, yet totally unspoilt sanctuary.
