Santorini is a whitewashed Greek island complex on the Ballito coast, and we rent out two apartments inside it. Both were recently redone, with clean lines, natural tones, woven texture and plants throughout. The complex opens onto two beaches, one for swimming with a tidal pool the children will not want to leave, the other a private beach. Additionally, with five pools, and the shops a few minutes away, the Santorini complex has it all. With a full 180 degrees of Indian Ocean in front of you, we think this is the best view in Ballito.

The Complex
Two beaches, direct access
Santorini opens straight onto Thompson's Bay, the swimming beach, with its tidal pool and no fight for parking in December. A short walk the other way is a private beach with no lifeguards and no crowds, which is where you take sundowners.
Five pools
Spread through the grounds and each a short walk from the apartments. Some in full sun, some shaded for when the afternoon gets serious. Every one has a shallow splash area where small children can play while you stay in your chair. Clean, quiet and properly looked after, and with five of them you will usually find one to yourself.
Out in the grounds
An outdoor braai area for the evenings you would rather cook where you are sitting. The braai area also has a playground for the kids to enjoy while you braai. And an outdoor gym, if you are the sort who keeps going on holiday. All a short walk from the apartments.

Our Ballito favourites
Ballito sits on South Africa's North coast, an hour north of Durban, on a stretch called the Dolphin Coast. The name is literal. Bottlenose dolphins pass close to shore most mornings and you will see them from either apartment, usually before breakfast. The sea is warm enough to swim in almost all year, and between June and November the humpback whales come past on their way north.
We have lived here long enough to know where to send you. The beach that is quiet on a Sunday, the coffee worth the walk, the restaurant that takes a booking at short notice. Here is where we would start.

Nature
Hole in the Wall
At Thompson's Bay tidal pool there is a natural arch in the rock with a narrow bridge through it, and a quieter little beach on the far side. Go at low tide and go early. In winter the sunrise lines up and shines straight through the hole.

Wellness
The Prominade
Ballito's main beach is a short drive, and the town wakes up properly around seven. Walk or run the promenade first, then grab a iced coffee at a local coffee shop.

Ballito Lifestyle Centre is a few minutes one way for whatever you forgot to pack. Salt Rock is a few minutes the other way, which is where the locals tend to go.
