About The Capital Zimbali Resort

The Capital Zimbali Resort is the new name for the exclusive beach resort style hotel inside of Zimbali Coastal Estate.
The estate is a 30 minute drive North of Durban just on the outskirts of the beachside holiday town of Ballito and a 15 minute drive from King Shaka International Airport.

The Zimbali Estate is set amongst rolling hills and lush flora and these have come to define the Zimbali Coastal Resort region. South Africa’s sublime east coast is home to the Resort which is nestled amongst a forest reserve with the shimmering sea at it's front
