A little bit about Chantilly Retreat

Chantilly Retreat originally served as a cozy home for a small family before being transformed into the magnificent, one-of-a-kind wedding venue and holiday destination it is today.

As a privately-owned venue, Chantilly Retreat takes pride in offering a warm welcome and personalized service to all our guests. We are committed to maintaining quality relationships and building new ones based on trust and care. When you visit Chantilly Retreat, you become part of our family, and you can be confident that every aspect of your stay will be meticulously taken care of.

Located on Kwa-Zulu Natal’s sun-kissed North Coast, near the charming neighborhood of Zinkwazi Beach, Chantilly Retreat is approximately 30 minutes north of Ballito and 45 minutes from King Shaka International Airport. Nestled beneath a canopy of tall trees and surrounded by rolling sugar cane hills, the retreat offers a serene escape where you can immerse yourself in the beauty of nature. The tranquil setting, rich in vegetation and birdlife, makes you feel miles away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Whether you’re here for a wedding, a retreat, or a special event, Chantilly Retreat provides a unique and enchanting backdrop for unforgettable memories. Join us and experience the charm and hospitality that make Chantilly Retreat truly special.
