With world-class amenities, this “best kept secret” also offers activities worth a visit, such as a spa, gymnasium, swimming pools and is only a few minutes’ drive from the beach, Splash Water world and local shopping centres.
When to Wed:
Amanzimtoti is generally beautiful all year round, however the hotter months range from November to February, and can include thunder showers in the evenings, with the cooler months usually being quite dry (from June to August). September is known as the windy month and Durban may also receive a higher percentage of rain during this time. The most popular time of year to wed is March and April (autumn).
Whatever time of year you choose, book in advance to ensure you have enough time to ensure your big day is a fairy-tale, come true!
