Few places capture the essence of Ballito quite like Santorini Estate. A landmark on the North Coast, this Mediterranean-inspired enclave blends whitewashed architecture, dramatic cliffs and direct beach access into one unforgettable destination. With forested walks, whale watching view points, sparkling estate pools and round-the-clock security, Santorini is a place where holiday mode feels natural and leaving is the hardest part.

There’s something about the coast that invites you to slow down—but slowing down doesn’t have to mean switching off entirely.

Personally, I’ve found that the best kind of beach holiday is the one where I feel rested and energised. Mornings spent walking barefoot on the sand, a good stretch with the sound of the waves in the background, or a drop-in class that leaves me feeling strong and centred. Staying grounded in wellness while on holiday helps me return to daily life with more clarity, not just sun-kissed skin.

When you picture a luxurious getaway, what comes to mind? Ocean views, thoughtful decor, space to breathe, and the freedom to do things your way? That’s exactly what more and more travellers are seeking and it’s why self-catering has become the new standard in luxury travel.
