A Family Holiday Destination Like No Other

Located on the scenic Hibiscus Coast, Uvongo River Resort is the perfect destination for families seeking relaxation and excitement. Whether you want to unwind by the pool or explore nearby beaches and local attractions, this resort has something for everyone. Our close proximity to stunning beaches, quaint pubs, and thrilling outdoor adventures makes it easy to fill your days with fun and exploration.

What truly sets Uvongo River Resort apart is its themed accommodation. The resort has been transformed into a 15th-century Italian village, inspired by the picturesque town of Spello. With 51 beautifully appointed one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments, each offering a unique Italian-style design, your family will feel as if they’ve been whisked away to the heart of Italy. Every unit comes with its own private patio and braai area, perfect for enjoying meals together as a family or with friends.

Each apartment features air-conditioning in all bedrooms, fully equipped kitchens, and Wi-Fi access, so you can stay connected while you disconnect from the hustle of everyday life. While there is no sea view, the serene atmosphere and lush garden surroundings more than make up for it.

There’s also a wheelchair-friendly unit, ensuring accessibility for all guests. With mini-golf, a crystal-clear pool, and a kiddies’ play area, there’s never a dull moment.

The resort’s gardens are a true oasis. Take a walk around the property and discover beautiful water features, aromatic herb patches, and an abundance of birdlife. It’s the perfect setting for relaxation or a leisurely stroll after a day of beachside fun.

Uvongo River Resort’s prime location makes it easy to explore the best that the Hibiscus Coast has to offer. Just 400 meters from the Uvongo beach, you can spend your days soaking up the sun, swimming in the warm ocean, or exploring the nearby lagoon that stretches back to a stunning waterfall. Lifeguards are on duty, ensuring safe swimming for the whole family.

For those who love the great outdoors, the nearby Douglas Mitchell Sports Ground caters to sports enthusiasts, while Shelly Beach is the perfect launch point for fishing, scuba diving, or a thrilling ski boat ride. Local dive schools offer training and gear, so even beginners can get in on the underwater fun.
