The Capital Zimbali

About this stay

Ballito sits on the malaria-free Dolphin Coast, and there's no fenced reserve boundary to work around when planning a stay at The Capital Zimbali. The hotel sits inside the gated Zimbali estate, a pocket of indigenous coastal forest and golf-estate grounds north of Durban, and its family rooms open onto sea, garden or pool views, each fitted with air-conditioning, a private bathroom, a minibar and a work desk. Days tend to start on the private beach area or by the year-round outdoor pool, move through the spa and fitness centre, and wind down over dinner at the family-friendly restaurant, where the kitchen runs local, European and South African dishes alongside a full English or Irish breakfast. Umhlali Country Club is eight kilometres away, Umhlanga Lighthouse is thirty-five, and King Shaka International Airport is a nineteen-kilometre drive.
