Durban Beach Holiday

A Durban holiday is the perfect time to unwind. Whether you like the thought of chilling by the water's edge or walking along the shore looking for seashells, a trip to Durban is hard to say no to. If you prefer to be close to the centre of town, base yourself close to Addington Beach. This stretch of coast is just 2 kilometres away. We also offer Durban packages close to Battery Beach and Dairy Beach, two other tempting options.

Things You Should Know About Durban

  • Nothing says holiday like staying within moments of the shoreline. If you're nodding in agreement, see what's available among our Durban beach hotels.
  • Hotels, like Audacia Manor Boutique Hotel and Suncoast Sunsquare & Suncoast Towers, are also popular property types here. Compare prices and amenities and then take your pick.
  • Alternatively, go for one of our All-Inclusive hotels in Durban. They make budgeting a breeze. Leave your cash safely in your room and enjoy the freedom that comes with the all-inclusive way of holidaying.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a Durban holiday package cost?
You can snap up a holiday package to this destination on Expedia. However, how much your holiday to Durban costs will depend on factors like the length of stay, hotel choice and season.
What are the cheapest months to go to Durban?
If you’d like to score a cheap Durban holiday package, consider planning a trip in February, March and October. You’ll generally find lower prices on hotels and airfares during these months — perfect for budget-conscious travellers.
How many days is enough for Durban?
We’d recommend booking a Durban holiday for around 3 days. This gives you enough time to visit top attractions such as Mitchell Park Zoo and Playhouse, and check out neighbourhoods like Durban Beachfront and North Beach. You might even be able to squeeze in a day trip or two from Durban.
How to find the best Durban package deals?
Use Expedia’s filter tool to find some unbeatable Durban package deals. When you begin your search, just set your maximum budget and then sort the results by “Price: low to high.” If you’re looking to save, plan your trip for midweek, or search for Durban package deals in the off-season. Switch up your travel dates and you may land even better discounts. As a rule of thumb, it’s typically best to lock in your holiday package as soon as possible.
Is it cheaper to book a Durban holiday as a package?
An Expedia holiday package could land you considerable savings when compared to booking flights and accommodation individually. Better still, you can personalise your Durban trip to match your exact style. Pick your preferred flight time, select the hotel type and add a car rental. Explore our bundles to see how much you can save.
When to book a holiday package to Durban?
If you’ve got your Durban travel dates finalized, book as early as you can to bag some unbeatable deals. With Expedia, you can often reserve some flights up to one year in advance. Prefer spontaneous adventures? Our last-minute deals are great for travelling on a whim.
