It features luxury hotels like The Oyster Box and The Beverly Hills\, along with vibrant dining at the Village.\n\n\n\nFlorida Road (Morningside): The heart of Durban’s social scene. Boutique stays like Quarters Hotel put you near the best bars and cafes\, just a 5-minute Uber from the stadium.\n\n\n\nThe Golden Mile: For fans who want to be near the beach.
