About La Mercy Beach Hotel
An informal, whitewashed beachfront hotel overlooking the Indian Ocean in La Mercy.
Relaxed hospitality on the north coast
La Mercy Beach Hotel sits on South Beach Road in La Mercy, a minute's walk from the beach. Our rooms, restaurant and pool look out over the Indian Ocean, and the sound of the waves is never far away.
Set in the sub-tropical surroundings of the KwaZulu-Natal north coast, our 28-room hotel welcomes holidaymakers, families, business travellers, convention groups and airport stopovers. With King Shaka International Airport only about 12 km away, we are a convenient place to rest before or after a flight.
All 28 bedrooms command breathtaking sea views, including two honeymoon suites. Guests can unwind in the lounge, on the pool deck or on the beach, and our team speaks English and isiZulu.
The hotel is also a well-known local venue for celebrations. Our three sea-facing venues host weddings, matric farewells, birthday parties, social functions and conferences, with our à la carte restaurant and kitchen on hand to cater.
