Umhlanga Beach Holiday

Relax along the shoreline and feel the fresh salt air on your skin during your Umhlanga holiday. If you're a first-timer, why not hunt for some pretty seashells as a souvenir of your trip to Umhlanga? Base yourself near Umhlanga Rocks Beach, a popular strip of coast only 2 kilometres from the downtown area. We also offer affordable Umhlanga holiday deals closer to Umhlanga Main Beach, another excellent nearby option.
