A Wedding Where the Ocean Does Half the Work

Blue Marlin sits on the lawns above Scottburgh Beach, 200 metres from the sand and forty minutes south of Durban, with the Indian Ocean filling the view. Ceremonies run outdoors on the lawns with the water behind you, and move indoors for the reception when the light goes.

The resort takes the arranging off your hands. Guests stay on site across more than 100 rooms, catering comes from the same kitchen that runs the all-inclusive service, and the Mangwanani Dream Spa handles the morning of the wedding. Subtropical gardens, two pools and the beach give photographers plenty to work with.

FAQ

Blue Marlin can host up to 100 guests. Ceremonies run on the lawns above Scottburgh Beach or indoors, and the indoor venues take between 40 and 100 guests depending on the set-up you choose.

Yes. The lawns at Blue Marlin are set up for outdoor ceremonies with the Indian Ocean behind, for up to 100 guests. Receptions typically move indoors afterwards, which also covers you if the weather turns on the day.

Yes. Blue Marlin has more than 100 rooms across several types, so most wedding parties stay entirely on the property. Rooms should be held early, as a wedding block competes with general leisure demand on the South Coast.

The Mangwanani Dream Spa is on the ground floor at Blue Marlin, offering massages, scrubs, manicures and pedicures. Treatments run by appointment and the spa asks for advance booking, so arrange the wedding party’s slots well ahead.

Wedding enquiries at Blue Marlin go to the banqueting and conferencing desk rather than general reservations. Use the Build a Quote form on this page or the direct email and phone number listed above, and the team will come back with options.
