Umhlanga Sands Hotel: Sunshine in Full Swing
If ever there was a season for Durban’s golden coast, it’s spring and Umhlanga Sands delivers it in technicolour. From the palm-fringed pool deck to the oceanfront Promenade buzzing with life, this resort hums with holiday energy. By day, you can dip into the surf, join a family beach game or just sip cocktails with your toes in the sand. By night, it’s all about live entertainment and laid-back dining under balmy skies. Fresh, fun and endlessly vibrant – spring never looked this good.
The Palace All-Suite: Durban Sunshine & City Splendour
Durban in spring is basically a sunbeam with a pulse and, located right on Durban’s Golden Mile, The Palace is bold, beautiful and unmissable.

With city buzz meeting beachfront chill, this is the perfect spring escape for anyone ready to swap routine for sunshine, sea breezes, and maybe a cheeky gelato or two.
Strand Pavilion: Springtime on the Shoreline
Wake up to salty air, sea spray and the Atlantic practically at your doorstep. Strand Pavilion makes coastal escapes effortless – chic, self-catering apartments perched right above the waves.

This is seaside living reimagined: Breezy, stylish and oh-so-spring.
La Côte d’Azur: South Coast Living, Spring Edition
Down on Margate’s shores, La Côte d’Azur is a love letter to the South Coast. With its sweeping ocean views and spring sunshine spilling onto every balcony, this spot is about as scenic as it gets. Spend your mornings on the beach, your afternoons in the pool and your evenings catching the glow of a pink-hued horizon. It’s family-friendly, couple-approved and perfect for anyone who wants a holiday that’s as chill as the ocean breeze.
Sabie River Sun: Where Bush Meets Bloom
When spring paints the Lowveld in fresh greens and wildflower tones, Sabie River Sun becomes a front-row seat to nature’s masterpiece. Think luxury lodges tucked under ancient trees, hippos hanging lazily in the river, and golden-hour safaris that feel like something out of a dream. It’s the Bushveld, but with all the creature comforts – a place where you can sip sundowners on the deck one moment and explore Kruger’s wild wonders the next.
This spring, the cities are calling and they’re blooming with reasons to escape.
Whether you’re chasing waves, cocktails, culture or just a break from the ordinary, First Group has the perfect springboard for your next adventure. Pack your sunnies, bring your joy and let’s make this season one to remember.
