Welcome to Ballito, KwaZulu-Natal

Located on South Africa’s North Coast, Ballito offers a perfect mix of natural beauty, modern living, and coastal charm.

Coastal Beauty and Lifestyle

Ballito is celebrated for its unspoiled beaches and regular sightings of dolphins and whales in the warm Indian Ocean. The 2.5 km Ballito Promenade, stretching from Willard Beach to Salmon Bay, is lined with sea-view properties, offering residents easy access to beachfront living, restaurants, and pubs.

Historical Charm

Founded in 1954 by the Glen Anil Development Corporation, Ballito began as a private township on former sugarcane farmland. The name was inspired by Ballito Hosiery Limited in St. Albans. Land once sold for just R790 — a sharp contrast to today’s thriving property market in this now-upscale holiday town.
