Oyster Box, Umhlanga

From the moment the Oyster Box opened its doors in 1947 the hotel rapidly became one of Africa’s best loved and most distinguished hotels. The combination of colonial charm, impeccable service, lush tropical gardens and a breathtaking seaside setting swiftly gained it a legendary reputation. State of the art facilities include an award-winning spa, a private cinema and beautiful pools within sub-tropical surroundings. Don’t miss traditional afternoon tea served in the serene Palm Court, classical fine dining at The Grill Room or perhaps a more relaxed curry buffet, fresh seafood or wood-fired pizza at The Ocean Terrace. Sustainability has also become a central pillar of hotel operations from back-of-house innovations around water saving and energy efficiency through to guest programmes that encourage environmental awareness and conservation.
