This June marks a significant milestone for Radisson Blu Hotel Durban Umhlanga as we proudly celebrate our third anniversary. Since opening in 2022, the hotel has become a key player in KwaZuluNatal’s premium hospitality scene — delivering world-class comfort, warm service, and unforgettable experiences in one of South Africa’s most iconic coastal destinations.

To mark the occasion, we hosted an intimate celebratory dinner this past Friday. Among the distinguished guests were Mr. Vivian Reddy — owner and chairperson of the Oceans Development — and his wife, entrepreneur and philanthropist Sorisha Naidoo. Also in attendance were key tourism stakeholders, industry colleagues, and valued partners who have supported our journey since day one.

“This anniversary is a proud moment for us,” says General Manager Themba Mpofu. “Over the past three years, we’ve welcomed guests from around the globe, hosted unforgettable events, and built meaningful community relationships. What we’ve achieved is thanks to our incredible team and the continued loyalty of our guests.”


Perched above Oceans Mall and steps from Umhlanga Village, Radisson Blu Hotel Durban Umhlanga offers striking ocean views, bold design, and easy access to the city’s best. Whether staying for business or leisure, guests can expect a refined, relaxed experience from arrival to departure.
As we celebrate this milestone, the team remains committed to raising the bar in hospitality — through exceptional service, local partnerships, and thoughtful guest experiences worth returning for.
