Yes. Zimbali Lodge & Spa hosts private and corporate occasions, from milestone birthdays and anniversaries to corporate retreats and golf group events. The sales team builds the venue, catering and accommodation into one quote.
The largest indoor venue seats up to 60, and Palm Court and the Thandi venue each take up to 100 for a function. The lodge suits small and mid-sized groups rather than large-scale events.
Catering is arranged through the lodge and comes from the Eleven Tribes kitchen, with menus built around the occasion. Theme dinners and wine pairings can be added for evening functions.
Yes. Zimbali Lodge & Spa has rooms and suites on the property, including self-catering options for families, so a party can stay together rather than driving back to Ballito or Umhlanga afterwards.
Zimbali Coastal Estate is gated. The events team arranges access for your guest list, and guests are asked for identification at the North Gate. It is worth telling people before they travel.
Popular dates go early, particularly over the warmer months when the Dolphin Coast is busy. Contact the team at Zimbali Lodge & Spa as soon as you have a date in mind and they will hold it while the detail is worked out.
