“Sugar Beach Resort strikes me as a genuine escape, far enough from Durban to feel secluded, yet focused on hospitality with its Halaal dining. I picture quiet evenings on private balconies, the sea breeze carrying the scent of masala potatoes from the buffet. It's a place that seems to balance accessibility and tranquility quite well.”
