One of the city’s most popular entertainment precincts is Florida Road, with a range of restaurants, coffee shops and bars popular with the younger crowd (if your clients are after a good curry, suggest they visit House of Curries on Florida Road).

Serious clubbers, however, are more likely to head for Umbilo Road, where they’ll find Origin, the city’s best-known, upscale nightclub featuring a variety of dance floors.

Another popular option with clubbers is Joe Cool’s on North Beach. Umhlanga Rocks to the north of Durban is popular with fine diners for its array of upmarket restaurants. For those wishing to enjoy a five-star view with their dinner, the Oyster Box hotel in Umhlanga, overlooking the Indian Ocean, is a sure-fire winner.
