Durban
At the northern end of the beachfront, away from the promenade crowd, Blue Waters is a classic hotel that has recently undergone an extensive renovation. Rooms have brilliant ocean views, soft bedding and stylish furnishings. There are also rare amenities for the beachfront, such as a sauna and an indoor pool. Rates are significantly cheaper in the off-season, especially during the week.
