Umngazi Hotel & Spa offers a truly relaxing romantic getaway on the Wild Coast in the Eastern Cape. Wide open spaces, a pristine beach, an ever-changing river and a wonderful spa make it the perfect place to reconnect. It’s a hidden gem for enjoying quality time with your most special someone.

What Makes Umngazi Hotel & Spa Romantic?

• Scenery: Beautiful sunrises and sunsets, wide open spaces and a river that changes with the light
• Privacy: A private lounge and pool deck for the deluxe suites
• Relaxation: A wonderful spa and a pristine beach
• Food: Delicious, wholesome meals every day
• Things to do: Plenty of activities, whether you want adventure or nothing at all

Which Suites Suit Couples?

All accommodation is comfortably furnished, with an en-suite bathroom and a gorgeous outside shower. However, the deluxe suites offer the most privacy. Guests enjoy exclusive access to the Emlonyeni Private Lounge and Pool Deck. It’s a space made for escaping and giving each other undivided attention.

Breakfast is served each morning in the lounge, with spectacular views over the river. Afterwards, the lounge, pool deck and plunge pool are yours to enjoy at your leisure. To compare your options, see the room types or explore the honeymoon packages.

Is Umngazi Hotel & Spa Adults Only?

No, Umngazi is a family resort. As a result, it’s very busy during school holidays. However, the Emlonyeni and Honeymoon Standard suites are adults only, which gives couples a quieter retreat.

When Is the Quietest Time to Visit?

Umngazi is quieter outside the school holiday periods. During these times, the resort offers a range of promotions and packages. Please note that some families aren’t tied to the school calendar. As a result, children may still be around, and the resort enjoys their company all year round.

What Is There to Do Together?

There’s plenty to enjoy as a couple:

• Guided hikes and walks
• Trail running and mountain-biking trails (please bring your own bike)
• Kayaking and SUP boarding
• Fishing and river cruising
• Beach walks and rock pooling
• A treat at the spa
• Tennis on the court, or a workout in the on-site gym
