Welcome to the Oyster Box. Standing majestically on Umhlanga’s prestigious beachfront, this five star hotel combines colonial charm and traditional hospitality with sweeping views of the Indian Ocean and the iconic ‘Lighthouse’.
A few minutes’ walk from Umhlanga Village Centre, with easy access to Durban, International Airports, numerous shopping centres, the Midlands and Drakensberg Mountains as well as game parks, lodges and historical battlefields.
The individually-decorated rooms, suites and villas are not only supremely stylish and comfortable but equipped with the latest state of the art amenities.
Renowned for its passionate service and excellent cuisine, you can dine in six different venues - from the casual ‘Ocean Terrace’, to the fine-dining ‘Grill Room’. The sunken ‘Wine Cellar’, is ideal for private, intimate occasions. The ‘Palm Court’, serves a lavishly traditional ‘High Tea’ daily. The rooftop ‘Lighthouse Bar’ offers sunset views of the iconic lighthouse and ocean and the contemporary ‘Oyster Bar’ serves freshly plucked oysters and Champagne.
