The Lighthouse Bar
Panoramic ocean views and signature cocktails in a stylish setting. The Lighthouse Bar at the Oyster Box Hotel is one of Umhlanga’s most popular hangouts for locals and out of towners alike. When it comes to the location they tick all the boxes making it impossible not to visit.
Kwa-Zulu Natal is known for its hot humid weather which makes it hard not to want to park off at a bar and enjoy a cold one. The Lighthouse Bar at The Oyster Box Hotel is the favorite hot spot amongst visitors and there are plenty of reasons why. Walking in you are met with a beautiful terrace with 180-degree views of the Indian Ocean and the iconic red and white Umhlanga lighthouse. Their drinks menu which consists of signature cocktails, champagnes, and all your other favorites makes choosing easy depending on your mood. If you are feeling peckish they have a menu giving you options to have a snack or a light meal, or if you are in the mood you can order oysters from their very own oyster bed.
The Lighthouse Bar tends to get busy over game days where you can catch a game of cricket, soccer, or rugby which is displayed on one of the many plasma TVs around the venue. The atmosphere is truly relaxed and they welcome guests to come in enjoy a sundowner and listen to live music while taking in the view which cannot be found anywhere else in South Africa. A visit is highly recommended and we suggest trying their signature cocktail, The Umhlanga Schling, made using ingredients KwaZulu-Natal is famous for – cane sugar and cane spirit to get you into the groove.
