How the KZN South Coast is the Ultimate Base for Digital Nomads
The global shift toward remote work has received significant support from the introduction of the Remote Work Visa in South Africa last year. This ‘digital nomad visa’ allows foreign nationals to live and work in the country remotely for up to three years. The visa presents a unique opportunity for location-independent professionals to base themselves in one of the most beautiful and affordable regions, the KZN South Coast.
Lifestyle Advantages of the KZN South Coast
1. Value for Money
Compared to other international coastal destinations, the combination of property prices, low cost of living, and high quality of life is unmatched.
2. Blue Flag Beaches
The internationally recognised Blue Flag status can be found across the KZN South Coast, which is home to more Blue Flag beaches than anywhere else in the province. Beaches earn this notable designation for maintaining an international standard of beach quality and safety, making the KZN South Coast a top seaside destination.
3. Year-Round Warmth
One of South Africa’s biggest drawcards is the incredible climate, and the KZN South Coast is a particularly favourable option. The subtropical climate and warm Indian Ocean allow for outdoor swimming, surfing, and diving throughout the year.
4. Marine Life and Adventure
There are two world-renowned dive sites at Aliwal Shoal and Protea Banks, as well as the annual Sardine Run - which sees millions of silver fish swimming shore side – providing exceptional fishing opportunities. The KZN South Coast is also a top destination for surfing and kitesurfing, with local tourism establishments renting equipment where needed.
5. Hiking and Biking
The KZN South Coast is home to numerous coastal forests and nature reserves with fantastic nature trails that connect residents with the great outdoors. The stunning Oribi Gorge is also renowned for hikes in its dense, jungle-like forests, with incredible views of the 165-metre waterfall.
6. Top Events
There’s always something happening on the KZN South Coast, including entertainment and sports events, high-octane racing at Dezi Raceway, local markets such as the Sweetdale Night Market, and various cultural events, providing both stimulation and relaxation.
