The city has become the destination of choice for scores of people craving the warm splash of the Indian Ocean and the all-round affordability of the KZN coast.
December is around the corner and those of us fortunate enough to have accumulated annual leave days are already planning our holiday destinations, flights and accommodation – and planning is everything, right? But even if you haven’t yet planned your local getaway, there’s no need to fret because Durban, in spite of often being overshadowed by the more popular destinations of Johannesburg and Cape Town, is really making waves with its subtropical climate and warm Indian Ocean waters.
This laid-back east coast town is so much more than just beautiful beaches, super friendly people and awesome all-year-round weather. Durban, or eThekwini as it’s known by the locals, is like the Miami of South Africa. Needless to say, Tsogo Sun has been hard at work preparing to be part of the city’s most important and attractive tourism asset, the recently extended and upgraded promenade. In fact, the hotel group has been at it for almost six years.
“[The promenade] is a major investment by the municipality into Durban’s most important tourism asset. It is a catalytic project aimed at taking the beachfront to another level and unlocking investment both into the broader beachfront and especially in the Point Waterfront,” Sithole said. “Guests are always looking for unique experiences and the Southern Sun Elangeni & Maharani hotel complex caters for a variety of needs,” said Smith.
