Durban King Shaka International Airport Hotels

Boasting four international restaurants, three outdoor swimming pools and a spa, the Fairmont Zimbala Resort is a luxury offering 15km (9.3 miles) from the airport. Free Wi-Fi internet access is available throughout and the beach is a five-minute stroll away.

One of the closest hotels to the airport, this relaxed coastal hotel offers simple rooms - all with sea views. Other facilities include an a la carte restaurant and cocktail bar and three large conference venues.

Located a 20-minute drive from the airport and 3km (1.8 miles) from the beach, rooms at Regal Inn Ballito come equipped with flat-screen TVs and air-conditioning. Breakfast is available on request, but it is only a short walk to the local restaurants of bustling Ballito.
