Ballito Accommodation

Ballito is the pearl of the Dolphin Coast - great beaches, interesting shops and amazing food combine to make this town a must-visit. Choosing some relaxed Ballito accommodation for your holiday break is not a decision you will regret! Read more

Ballito has something for everyone - some of the world's most famous surfing breaks, kid-friendly beaches, popular spas and top-rated golf courses like Zimbali. There's also another side to this seaside town worth exploring, offering quaint organic food markets and fascinating shops.

While Ballito offers all these things and more the highlight will always be the amazing beaches and coast. What can be more amazing than watching dolphins play in the waves while enjoying perfect weather almost all year round? The beaches are protected by shark nets so you can swim free of doubt and surfers can lurk beyond the backline without trepidation. The sea is kept pleasantly warm by the Indian Ocean's Mozambique current and with miles of combined beachfront there is a favourite beach spot waiting for every family and couple. While the most visited beach is the Blue flag approved Willard Beach it would also be worth your time to visit the slightly less popular but equally enjoyable Clarke Bay.

Beyond Ballito itself there is also much to explore. Other nearby towns are worth day visits - Salt Rock offers more wonderful beaches and Stanger, which is slightly inland, offers historical sights. The world famous King Shaka's memorial is in this town on the Zulu Heritage Route. Further inland there are more famous battlefields from both the Anglo-Boer War and the Anglo-Zulu war. Sites worth investigation by the historically inclined include Colenso and Isandlwana. If your preferred holiday activity is retail therapy then Ballito is not going to disappoint. In addition to the Ballito Lifestyle Centre - which offers a wide range of basic and boutique fare - there are many smaller shops around the town. Make sure to ask the owner of the Ballito accommodation you choose for an inside guide on where to shop!
