Love is in the air

The world over, Valentine’s Day is celebrated with much fanfare. True to form, we’ve stepped up to the plate with a special Valentine’s Day accommodation offer. On accommodation, we’ve reduced the price for Dinner, Bed & Breakfast for a couple to R2 200 pn (save R220). And on the night of 14 February, we’ve upped the ante by adding a Turtle Tour at R1500 per couple staying for the night, which is a huge R600 saving. How utterly romantic and unusual to do a Turtle Tour for Valentine’s night!

For those with romance on their mind, our bar at Leatherbacks Restaurant also stocks MCC –previously known as champagne – for couples wishing to celebrate their love with bubbles.

However, romance doesn't have to begin at sunset. Start the day with our sumptuous breakfast buffet. This should get your romantic mojo in tip-top shape. And for Operation Romance to succeed, the ambience needs to be spot-on. You sure can’t get better than the lush surroundings at Sodwana Bay Lodge.

Other tips for a romantic time: ditch the techno and play some first-class romantic music in your room; burn a scented reed diffuser in your room with aphrodisiacal scents such as jasmine, patchouli, or a relaxing mélange of cool and fragrant white ginger blossoms and spicy ylang flowers.

Sodwana Bay beach just screams romance for a leisurely hand-in-hand stroll, soaking your feet in the gentle waves and digging your toes in the sand. Come evening and you can’t go wrong with cocktails at the lodge’s Pool Bar.

The next day: rinse and repeat.
