Oceans Mall Makes its Mark!
Good things take time, and even through delays, the final product is worth the wait. The anticipation and excitement becomes tangible in the atmosphere, and Umhlanga has definitely been buzzing as of late! Together with the Radisson Blu, Oceans Apartments and Oceans Mall are bringing new life to the town, enhancing the vibrant lifestyle associated with the East Coast.
Located on the iconic Lagoon Drive, this mixed-use development provides easy access for residents and guests to some of the biggest attractions in Umhlanga and is adding to the food, entertainment, shopping, accommodation and residences available.
First, we have the Radisson Blu and the luxury apartments. The design of the building allows for them to coexist yet remain separate so that they don’t overlap while allowing the residents to use the world-class amenities of the hotel.
The apartments have their own reception, entrance and set of golden lifts. These luxury, one and two-bedroom apartments are great investment options or to rent out as an Airbnb. The building is designed with the future in mind and so that every apartment has a view of the ocean. It only gets better the higher up you go! The clever design gives you the panoramic view without the gale force winds you’d normally experience at high altitudes, but you have a refreshing sea breeze flowing through. Your apartment also comes with basic appliances, giving you more time to focus on other necessities! With the building being backed up by generators, the elevators still work during loadshedding so you don’t have to walk up the stairs to the 20th floor!
With easy access to both the M4 and the N2, and a road dedicated to access the building, you have Durban at your fingertips! You won’t need to leave the complex when everything you need is right at your doorstep. The second phase of this multi-billion rand project is bringing new and well-known brands to you with the Oceans Mall. The Umhlanga Village is known as the best place to go out for a great night out, but the parking situation can be stressful and space limited. With 1400 parking bays, there is ample space, so no waiting forever to get a spot in! The interior of the mall is designed to be bright and spacious, making your shopping as pleasant as possible.
The exclusive Platinum Walk, opening March 2023, will house your favourite international, luxury brands. You can find brands like Gucci, Dolce & Gabanna, Armani, Versace, Burberry and Jimmy Choo available for your convenience! With an exclusive entrance and a concierge service, this is truly a VIP shopping experience for all who visit. Having these stores is a first for KwaZulu-Natal and will change the landscape of shopping in Umhlanga for the better.
With a range of beloved household brands moving in, you will have access to all the products you need. From Checkers to Woolworths Food, every store’s design has been reimagined with fresh and unique designs especially for the Oceans Mall. The eatery options are virtually endless for when you’re looking for a bite to eat! No matter what kind of cuisine you are in the mood for, you are covered. Whether you want the lively atmosphere of Tiger’s Milk or the family-friendly comfort of Spur, they have it all.
The Umhlanga experience isn’t complete without the nightlife. The amphitheatre-shaped piazza area of the mall is your prime entertainment spot. Illuminated by the lights of the mall and the exterior of the building, you can enjoy occasional live music or the music spilling out of the surrounding restaurants. It’s the entire Umhlanga package in one!
Winning multiple international design awards, bringing a whole host of new stores and with plans for more for this dynamic project, you can tell this is good for KwaZulu-Natal, and Umhlanga especially. The future is bright and Oceans stands right at the forefront, ushering a new age of luxury living in Umhlanga.
