WELCOME

Set between Gateway and the warm Indian Ocean

The Umhlanga Ridge is where Durban comes to work, shop and unwind — and Coastlands Umhlanga Hotel sits in the middle of it, on uMhlanga Rocks Drive. Step out to the Gateway precinct, or follow the road down to the lighthouse and the promenade.

Inside, the pace slows: a quiet lobby lounge, generous rooms, breakfast by floor-to-ceiling windows and a rooftop pool above the city.
