How They Dazzle Us

Widely regarded as one of the best hotels in South Africa, The Oyster Box is situated on the beach just north of Durban. Guests can enjoy amazing views of the warm Indian Ocean and the opportunity to swim with dolphins or simply stay in and be pampered in outrageous luxury. Discover the timeless elegance and enjoy a multitude of dining options, including their famous curry feast and High Tea, and indulge in their award-winning spa amid tropical gardens. A luxurious private cinema serving popcorn and treats is a hit with kids and adults alike..

Why We Love Them

The team at Oyster Box are actively involved with a number of local charities and organizations that work to uplift and assist people in the local communities. One of the most exciting initiatives is their Pack for a Purpose project that allows travellers to make a lasting impact in the community at their travel destination. Travellers are encouraged to leave a few kilos of space in their suitcase to bring supplies for area schools or medical clinics in need, allowing guests to make a priceless impact in the lives of the local children and families.

Their Sustainable Superpower

When building a new venue from the ground up it is much easier to do so with the right ethics and sustainable practices in place from the start. When you are an institution of many years it can be harder to move with the times, but move with the times is exactly what the team at The Oyster Box has done. As such, the hotel manage and measure their energy needs, reduce demand for energy with the use of new technology, and conserve natural resources. They use products, responsible suppliers and materials that support and encourage sustainable practices and they manage their waste streams to ensure they maximise recycling and minimize demand on landfill space. Reduce, re-use and recycle are their keywords to a sustainable future.
