Eva Hotels & Resorts has announced the launch of Vilasita, its latest residential development at Zimbali Lakes on the North Coast of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. The project comprises 146 luxury residences and forms part of the company’s plan to bring approximately R1 billion worth of property to the market annually over the next five years.
Construction is scheduled to begin in the first quarter of 2027, with completion expected by the end of 2028.
Werner Berger, CEO of Eva Hotels & Resorts, said the development, alongside the company’s achievements at Zimbali Lakes to date, would help make the resort a driver of growth on the North Coast and establish a new benchmark for high-end real estate in KwaZulu-Natal and across South Africa.
Lakefront Living with a Range of Luxury Residences
Vilasita will offer a variety of residences, ranging from one-bedroom apartments to spacious penthouses, including a signature four-bedroom residence. Its sloping design allows residents to drive directly to their front doors, while parking spaces will be pre-equipped for electric vehicle charging, combining the convenience of apartment living with the privacy of villas.
The residences will overlook the lake, gardens or ocean, while penthouses will feature private swimming pools and rooftop gardens. The development also caters to owners who spend only part of the year on the North Coast, offering a “lock-up-and-go” lifestyle.
For investors, Zimbali Escapes will provide residence management services, with short-term rentals permitted. A waterfront promenade will connect residents to Zimbali Square and the beach club, while Zimbali Lakes Club will be a short golf-cart ride away.
More Than Two Decades of Investment at Zimbali
Eva Hotels & Resorts has been investing in Zimbali for more than 20 years and has a track record of attracting international brands to KwaZulu-Natal. Its recent achievements include bringing the province its first Ernie Els Signature Course. Tonino Lamborghini also selected Zimbali Lakes for its first residential development in Africa, reflecting both brands’ confidence in Eva’s ability to deliver high-end projects in a distinctive location.
Investment in the Ernie Els golf course and Zimbali Lakes Club has reached approximately R250 million, alongside an infrastructure programme valued at nearly R1.3 billion.
Meanwhile, excavation and structural support works have been completed for Ernie Els Suites, Avanti Residences and the shopping centre. Construction is scheduled to begin in January 2027, with completion targeted for mid-2028.
Strong Interest from Local and International Buyers
Berger said Vilasita had attracted significant interest from buyers in KwaZulu-Natal, other South African provinces and international markets.
He added that the level of interest ahead of the planned November launch was unsurprising, describing the development as offering a rare combination of lake and ocean views in one of the country’s fastest-growing corridors, supported by continued investment in infrastructure, leisure facilities and everyday services.
