Self-Catering Apartments

The resort offers three-bedroom, two-bathroom apartments facing the garden. Each comes with a lounge, dining area, and a kitchen equipped with a dishwasher, fridge, microwave, kettle, and toaster. Air conditioning is available but requires separately purchased vouchers. Daily housekeeping and linen changes can be arranged for an extra fee. Some units have a spacious balcony with sea views.

Kitchen

There is no onsite restaurant. Guests cook in their own kitchen or use the barbecue facilities located throughout the resort. Nearby dining options include restaurants at Gateway Theatre of Shopping, 3 km away.

Location

La Lucia Sands sits on Umhlanga Rocks Beach. It is 3 km from Gateway Theatre of Shopping, Umhlanga Lagoon Nature Reserve, and Umhlanga Ridge. Durban city center is a 20-minute drive away. King Shaka International Airport is 17 km from the resort. Free private parking is available on-site.

“Direct beach access is a significant draw, though the proximity to the ocean is indeed a key advantage. The self-catering units are thoughtfully equipped, and the expansive swimming pool set within manicured gardens provides a welcome oasis. It's the combination of these elements, alongside a clear emphasis on security, that creates a reassuring sense of place.”
