The privately-owned Sala Beach House was completed in 2022. This charming boutique property has a prime location overlooking the sandy beach of Thompson's Bay.
Tucked away between the coastal towns of Ballito and Salt Rock, Sala Beach House is a contemporary and stylish boutique hotel. There's private access to a wonderful beach where the tidal pools are home to a multitude of marine life. From June to November, humpback whales can often be seen off shore, an added incentive if you are planing to hike the coastal trail. It's a great base for golfers too, with coastal championship golf courses nearby. It's the perfect destination to unwind after a KwaZulu Natal safari or a tour of the Battlefields.
