A national treasure

South Africa’s most cherished hotel stands majestically on Umhlanga’s beachfront, overlooking the Indian Ocean & the iconic lighthouse.

A feast for the senses

Your journey of discovery doesn’t end when the mokoro slips ashore or the 4x4 returns to camp. Dining at Xigera offers guests a unique culinary safari, seamlessly blending fresh local ingredients and African inspiration, with the tradition of refined cuisine that has long been a hallmark of The Red Carnation Hotel Collection.

Enjoy sundowners at sunset

The perfect way, perhaps, to celebrate the end of the working day. The traditional sundowner was the gin and tonic. Nowadays it is a popular cocktail.
