Wild Coast Sun wins Best Weekend Escape

Families love every moment at Sun International resort

That the Wild Coast Sun has captured the hearts of its visitors is evident as the Resort has won ‘Best Weekend Escape’ in the Best of Durban Readers’ Choice Awards 2024.

Now in its third year, the Best of Durban competition this year saw 429 503 votes across nine major categories and 217 sub-categories as members of the public stepped up to vote for their favourite businesses.

“This accolade is a significant achievement for us and a testament to the outstanding experience we provide to our guests,” said Wild Coast Sun General Manager Peter Tshidi.

“Awards such as these serve as an opportunity to enhance our brand’s visibility and further establish Wild Coast as the leading KwaZulu-Natal destination for getaways for couples and families.”

The four-star Sun International beach resort is set on 750 hectares of natural bush and straddles the border between the Eastern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal, overlooking the Indian Ocean and the Umtamvuna and Mzamba rivers. “With a top-rated 18-hole golf course, world-class casino, spa, water park and exciting leisure activities including escape room games, horse riding, boat trips and much more, Wild Coast Sun is truly a destination that can meet the needs of the whole family and we are proud to be recognised as such by Best of Durban,” Tshidi said.

The 396-room Resort recently completed an R2.5-million refurbishment of five junior and one presidential suite, giving them a fresh, coastal holiday feel. “These are true private hideaways, designed to five-star standards guaranteed to provide the utmost tranquility to leave guests feeling revitalised.”

“Besides our stunning natural location, the South Coast offers an endless summer so no matter what time of year you visit, the kids will end up having a dip in the ocean and enjoy walks along our pristine beaches.”
