Looking for a perfect getaway not too far from Durban? San Lameer Resort & Spa might be your ideal destination. Just an hour and a half drive from the city, the journey to San Lameer is as delightful as the destination. Picture a scenic drive with breathtaking ocean views and minimal traffic. It's a relaxing start to a rejuvenating retreat.

As you arrive, the resort's friendly security personnel ensure a safe and welcoming atmosphere right from the gate. The seamless check-in process, handled by the warm and helpful front-of-house staff, makes you feel at ease immediately. They even assist with your luggage, which adds a touch of convenience and luxury to your stay. A pleasant surprise awaited us: an upgrade to a deluxe room. This spacious and modern room features a large sliding door that opens to a balcony, offering views of lush greenery, chirping birds, and a serene lagoon leading to the beach. The bed is exceptionally comfortable, and the nightly turn-down service adds a special touch to your stay.
One thing to note if you're sharing the deluxe room is that the shower isn’t fully concealed, with three glass walls at the edge of the room. Depending on your privacy preferences, it’s a quirky design choice that might be worth considering.
San Lameer Resort & Spa is packed with amenities. Whether you're a fitness enthusiast, a golf lover, or planning a special event, the resort has you covered. The private gym, expansive golf course, and conference facilities cater to various needs. If you’re planning a wedding, the venue can host up to 180 guests, making it an excellent choice for a destination celebration.

A standout feature is the Lagoon Spa, beautifully decorated in earthy tones. The range of treatments, including the soothing aromatherapy massage, is delivered by welcoming and professional staff, ensuring a relaxing experience.
The highlight of our stay was undoubtedly dining at the Lagoon Restaurant. The chef’s creations are a delightful surprise—fresh, flavourful, and beautifully presented. We highly recommend the lamb shank, served with honey-glazed butternut, couscous, and red wine gravy. And don't miss the chocolate brownies with candied pecan nuts; they're divine. We chose whipped fresh cream over chocolate ice cream, which was the perfect finishing touch.
San Lameer offers a variety of activities to keep you entertained. There's something for everyone, from action cricket nets and a bowling green to boat rides, nature trails, and a leisure centre. Marina Beach is just a short kilometre away and easily accessible for a quick beach outing.
San Lameer Resort & Spa offers excellent value for money. It’s a wonderful way to relax, enjoy nature, and have fun without straying too far from the city. Whether you’re seeking a peaceful retreat or an action-packed holiday, San Lameer has it all.
