Selborne Hotel, Spa and Golf Estate - A stately manor house surrounded by indigenous coastal forest is the tranquil setting of this luxury golf estate, hotel and health spa, close to the warm Indian Ocean and near Durban in South Africa. A private beach club is a few sandy footsteps to the beach.

Stirred by the dawn, the forest beckons you to wake after a night securely cocooned in luxury. The choice is yours… the stately Presidential Suite, a luxury Garden or Golf Course Suite, a standard luxury Suite or a privately owned, fully equipped self-catering Villa. At Selborne, discreet but attentive staff will create “home from home” in Africa, pampering you with the personal service one can only get from a family run hotel.

There can be few locations more tranquil and therapeutic for a health and beauty spa. Managed by the professional Camelot Spa Group, which has facilities at other leading international hotels, they define the ultimate spa as a “haven to rest, relax and revitalise” – Selborne is truly such an oasis. Indulge yourself, perhaps with your partner, to a treatment in the double therapy suite or at the private beach club, to the soothing sound of the ocean.

Some call it the most spectacular 18 holes in southern Africa. Wild coastal forest frames a superbly manicured course where the only disturbance may be one of nature’s creatures. Within an hour or so of flying into Durban, you can be revelling in this masterpiece, or better equipping yourself at the indoor golf academy or pro shop.
