"We had a most marvellous break from the rat race of Johannesburg. Peace and quiet notwithstanding it was school holidays. Breakfast was a buffet of every one would expect and much much more. The staff were amazing. I am currently looking at the calendar to find another break time to be enjoyed at the Pearl. I am 71 and my girlfriend is 58. We both had a wonderful stay and enjoyed the restaurants on the premises. Thank you guys."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Umhlali Beach?
The best area to stay in Umhlali Beach is along the beachfront properties in the main Umhlali Beach area, offering direct access to the ocean and all its amenities.This area is characterized by its expansive golden sands and the warm Indian Ocean, providing a ideal setting for relaxation and water activities. You'll find a selection of accommodations, from high-end resorts to private villas, all within a short walk of the beach. The main beach promenade features various dining options and local shops.For families, staying directly on Umhlali Beach is ideal.

The opportunity for romantic strolls along the shore at sunset, ocean-view dining, and spa services with the sound of the waves creates a memorable experience.
When is the best time to go to Umhlali Beach?
The best time to visit Umhlali Beach is during the dry season, from May to September, when the weather is generally sunny and pleasant.During these months, you'll experience mild temperatures, typically ranging from the low 60s to mid-70s Fahrenheit (15-25°C), with low humidity and minimal rainfall. This makes it ideal for enjoying the beaches, exploring outdoor attractions, and engaging in water activities like swimming and surfing without the oppressive heat or frequent thunderstorms of the summer months.This period is particularly suitable for couples and families seeking a relaxing beach vacation. The calm waters and comfortable temperatures create an inviting environment for spending time outdoors, whether it's sunbathing, picnicking, or taking leisurely strolls along the coastline. You'll find fewer crowds compared to the peak holiday season, allowing for a more serene experience.While the winter months (June to August) are cooler, they still offer plenty of sunshine and are excellent for whale watching, as southern right and humpback whales migrate along the coast during this time.
