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.

Dining and 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.

Leisure and Wellness

The resort has an outdoor swimming pool, a separate kids' pool, a sauna, and a multi-purpose sports court. A mobile spa can be arranged on-site. The beach is accessed directly from the grounds, though the waves are strong and not suitable for swimming. Other activities include fishing and golf (courses nearby). Children's playground and board games are available.

Beach and 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.

Services and Security

Reception is open during the day; after hours, security staff assist. The property has 24-hour security, CCTV in common areas, fire extinguishers, key access, and safety deposit boxes. Daily housekeeping is provided. Laundry service is available (machine may be broken). Check-out involves an inventory count of all items. Timeshare sales representatives may visit unannounced.

“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.”
