The Umhlanga Sands Resort overlooks a magnificent gold-sand beach. Inland, endless fields of sugarcane give way to the rolling landscape of the Valley of 1000 Hills, the massive Inanda Dam and the lush, hidden valleys of Zululand. It is an area of extraordinary, unspoilt natural beauty with which one simply can't help but fall in love. You'll see! All 237 rooms of this stylish resort have spectacular views of the gorgeous Indian Ocean. Guests will enjoy well-equipped kitchenettes, so you can rustle something up to enjoy on the balcony. Relax by one of the two just-for-adults swimming pools, enjoy an invigorating sauna, or simply chill out in the hot tub - the choice is yours! There is plenty to do off-site, too, from dolphin viewing, water skiing, walking the promenade or simply lazing on the lifeguard-patrolled Umhlanga Beach, working on your tan as the warm waters of the Indian Ocean roll in. The kids will be more than entertained by a ten-pin bowling alley, volleyball court, an entertainment centre and year-round entertainment programmes, fully supervised by a committed and enthusiastic entertainment team. The children will call it the best vacation ever! Brilliant. Looking good on holiday is essential, so you'll be glad to know that there's not only a hairdressing salon on site, but a beautician and aromatherapist too! There are also two superb restaurants and an incredible late-night bar, where you can enjoy live music every night of the week. If you're after fun in the sun, anytime of year, then the awesome Umhlanga Sands Resort is the place for you.

During week 48 (29 November - 06 December) the resort experiences the flocking of teenagers to Umhlanga and Ballito to enjoy the year end celebrations over this period. As a result of the change in demographic over this time period, with the expectation that a large majority of the guests will be school leavers, the normal entertainment program will be adjusted accordingly. There will, once again, be activations during week 48 at the family pool and on the terrace. Security will be enhanced to negate impact on other visitors as far as possible as well as to ensure the wellbeing of those partaking in the year end celebrations and our activations. Please note that the resort is a strictly non-smoking resort. This includes the use of e-cigarettes, vapes, and hubbly bubbly (hookah/shisha), which are not permitted anywhere on the property.
Please note, the six sleeper and a four-sleeper unit will be prepared as mock up rooms. This will provide a practical preview of the proposed finishes, materials and design elements. The Mock up room project will commence on the 11 October 2025 and expected to conclude on the 22 November 2025. While every effort will be made to minimize any inconvenience, residents may experience noise disturbances during this period. Work will be carried out from 9:00am to 16:00pm from Monday to Saturday.
