The Most Instagrammable Hotels in St Lucia, South Africa


Santa Lucia is a small, quiet town located 250km north of Durban in the province of KwaZulu-Natal on the Indian Ocean. If you want to go there, it is because you are a nature lover. In Santa Lucia you can discover the iSimangaliso wetland, a treasure trove of diversity and South Africa's first UNESCO World Heritage Site. The town promises many wonders and surprises (hippos sometimes roam the streets at night, and have a slight tendency to take over hotel swimming pools).
There is much to do in the natural paradise that is St Lucia. You can take a sunset cruise on the river in search of the many hippos and crocodiles that live there and it will be a wonderful time. There are also cruises to take, beaches to visit and other animals to meet. 
A trip to St Lucia is a trip that will bring you closer to nature and allow you to experience an unforgettable journey.
