“Durban Spa's strongest suit is undoubtedly its address right on Durban's Golden Mile, making it an easy choice for families wanting a beach-centric holiday. Self-catering apartments provide the space that larger groups need, and I think the indoor pool is a particularly smart amenity given Durban's changeable weather. Factor in the game room and spa, and you have a solid option for keeping everyone entertained.”
