Ballito
Welcome to paradise!
Approximately 40km north of Durban, on South Africa's east coast in the province of KwaZulu Natal, sits Ballito, a popular seaside vacation town and residential suburb. The once sleepy seaside village is now a bustling "mini-city within a city," tucked away in a great evergreen sugarcane plantation, with golden beaches and the warm waters of the Indian Ocean beckoning visitors to its sparkling waters.
It's no wonder Ballito has seen a boom in recent years with many people from other parts of the country choosing to live in the beautiful, gated estates, which provide great security and an amazing lifestyle for both young and old.
Visitors and residents can enjoy first-rate amenities and attractions in Ballito and its charming surrounding towns, such as a sizable regional mall, smaller lifestyle shopping centres, five top-notch golf courses, excellent beaches, 350km of immaculate mountain bike trails, equestrian facilities, and a variety of country clubs and sports clubs. In addition to the contemporary Netcare Alberlito Hospital, four new schools have been constructed in the last few years.
Bottlenose dolphins play year-round in the waters near Ballito's Beach, which is a magnificent treat for all. Ballito offers several breathtakingly beautiful and safe beaches for swimmers, fishermen, surfers, and other ocean adventurers of all kinds. This is a true permanent holiday-lifestyle paradise!
Ballito is conveniently located 15 minutes from King Shaka International Airport and 25 minutes from Umhlanga, the business centre of Durban North, via the highway. The seaside town is conveniently close to the main east coast safari destinations in South Africa, such as the Greater St Lucia Wetlands Park World Heritage Site and the Hluhluwe-Umfolozi Game Reserve.
The gorgeous coastal downs in Durban South, the lush Midlands, and the stunning Drakensburg mountain region are all easily accessible by car from Ballito. The best highways in KwaZulu Natal facilitate easy and convenient travel to Durban's favourite vacation spots.
