Set in a rare and beautiful sand forest, the glass walls of Phinda Forest Lodge’s 16 air-conditioned suites offer a sweeping view of one of the most unique ecosystems on the planet. Each of the lodge’s suites are built in perfect harmony with the existing flow of the forest, seemingly floating between the forest floor and the towering torchwood trees. Inspired by its natural surrounds, interiors are a celebration of local Zulu culture with a touch of Japanese minimalism. Tactile textures and natural materials such as woven matting, textured grass cloth wallpaper, and hardwood floors, enhance the space maximising the connection to the forest through wide open views.
Each suite features an ensuite bathroom with a freestanding bath, an indoor shower, and double vanity. All suites also have a super-king bed (which can be converted to a twin), his-and-hers wardrobes, a sitting area, a freestanding personal bar, a coffee and tea station, as well as a private veranda ideal for savouring the beautiful setting.
