The Fairmont Zimbali Resort is more than luxurious indulgence and jaw-dropping views, it brings a proud international heritage to the KZN east coast
From the moment you arrive at Zimbali, your expectations are set for something spectacular. Lush tropical foliage and impressive architecture are just a taster of what’s to come. Taking pride of place on the estate, the Fairmont Zimbali Resort is one of those venues that oozes tranquillity, not least because of the 180° sea views!
Service is paramount and staff have a marvellous knack of anticipating your every need. But then, that’s not surprising, considering the Fairmont pedigree. With a global reputation for excellence, Fairmont Hotels and Resorts is in a league of its own. The group’s resorts are situated in some of the most breathtaking areas in the world and travellers associate the Fairmont brand with inviting beaches, challenging golf courses and exhilarating ski hills. Think of the Fairmont Chateau Whistler and the Savoy in London.
With 154 rooms and suites, including garden villas, the Fairmont Zimbali Resort is expansive without being overwhelming. Guests have a number of dining options, from a pizza next to the pool to beach club bites, themed buffets and more formal dining. Breakfast at the Coral Tree was one of the highlights of our stay. Be sure not to oversleep – you’ll be sorry to miss it!
At the heart of the hotel is an impressive swimming pool, perfect for lounging in the sun, sipping a cocktail. If you’re after a bit more pampering, Willow Stream Spa offers an extensive menu of top-quality treatments.
For those looking to keep active, this exquisite property gives you access to one of the country’s finest and most challenging golf courses, as well as squash courts, tennis courts, a gym and BMX mountain bikes. Not to mention a network of walking trails through pristine coastal forest. A leisurely walk to the resort’s private beach is sure to bring you into contact with duiker and a dazzling array
of birds.
Why not combine business and pleasure? State-of-the-art conference facilities include two boardrooms, a ballroom and various function spaces.
