Umhlanga’s premier vacation sanctuary

The Oyster Box, situated on Umhlanga’s seashore, offers a magnificent view of the Umhlanga Lighthouse and the Indian Ocean beyond.  The Oyster Box, as part of the Red Carnation Hotel Collection, maintains an exceptional standard of service and endeavors to provide the optimal experience for its guests.

 The Oyster Box epitomizes exquisite coastal living.  Conveniently situated for effortless access to the Durban city center and many retail destinations, there are several activities available with less travel time required.  If navigating the vibrant city does not appeal to you, the hotel’s huge swimming pool, on-site spa facility, and many bars provide excellent venues for relaxation and well-deserved leisure.

 The accommodation at The Oyster Box seamlessly blends contemporary style with classic elegance.  The rooms, adorned with serene hues and organic textures of wood and stone, enhance the adjacent rocky shoreline rather than dominate it.  All 86 Rooms, Suites, and Villas are equipped with an en-suite bathroom, air conditioning, satellite television, and high-speed WiFi.
