 The Wild Coast Sun is
set on one of the most unspoiled beaches in Southern Africa, within 750
hectares of natural bush between the Umtamvuna and Mzamba rivers,
overlooking the Indian Ocean. A secluded wilderness that takes care of
the whole family and a casino and entertainment destination that
pulsates with a seductive energy.
The Wild Coast Sun Resort is located mere metres away from the Indian
Ocean. The white powdered beaches, incredible surfing and balmy climate
are inducements enough. Yet there's more… Wild Coast Sun offers
entertainment, wonderful water-sports, one of the best championship
golf courses in South Africa, a glittering casino, 3 - Star hotel
accommodation and vacation club timeshare.
The nearby area offers magnificent walks along the beach, hikes in the
rugged regions, local arts and crafts and deep sea fishing and scuba
diving.

functions, ranging from a boardroom meeting for 20 delegates to
conferences for 680 delegates to formal dinners for 624 guests.
 It is an intimate
resort experience that leaves a lasting impression. This magnificent
coastal resort is an hour and a half's drive from the Durban
International Airport.
