As our area develops and transforms, we've also seen local icons receive facelifts to complement the changing landscape and aesthetic. Carefully considering every design change and tenant, Zimbali Oasis has worked hard to create a convenient and family-friendly strip mall. As they continue to renovate and add to the centre, breathing new life into it, creating an elevated shopping experience for locals and visitors.
Sport
Padel, the sport which keeps gaining popularity as time goes on, finds a home at Zimbali Oasis Padel. The courts have it all, set in a beautiful environment, designed to deliver both performance and atmosphere. The welcoming space with courtside lounges elevates your experience and makes every visit feel like you're the VIP, while the stylish on-site café offers a curated range of coffees, soft drinks, energy drinks, and high-energy snacks to keep you fuelled before, during, and after your game. Bookings can be made via Playtomic, and the team is always ready to help. If you're missing a fourth player, they might even step in and join the game.
Shopping
Having all the essentials available in one place saves time and makes running errands much simpler, something we all find ourselves looking for. Being able to grab fresh ingredients, or a ready-made meal, a wine to pair it with and a last-minute stock up on those vitamins which ran out days ago, all in one trip? Brilliant! Spar Gourmet is here to change what it means to visit a supermarket, with luxury yet accessible brands and products, available to the public. Tops! At Spar and the Spar Pharmacy, Zimbali Oasis supplements the main supermarket, creating anchor stores. They offer everything for a monthly stock-up or a quick top-up.
Wellness
Central to the Ballito lifestyle is outdoor living and healthy practice, overseen by the professionals in the area. Dr S Naidoo, your local general practitioner, providing comprehensive healthcare for the whole family. Using state of the art diagnostics, iHealth Laboratories diagnoses and treats issues from the cellular level with a personalised plan for each individual. The Vision Lounge offers expert advice on eye care from optometrist and owner, Mariska Marais, transforming every appointment into a comfortable experience. From specialised dental care with Zimbali Oasis Dental to advanced aesthetics and grooming with La Derma and Medellin Barber, wellness and beauty are covered. Still to come, look forward to more services for everyday hair styling and advanced make up techniques.
Food
Food is the cornerstone of any shopping experience; a combination of quick meals, sit-down restaurants, and trendy coffee shops is essential for any urban development. Finally bringing their iconic square pizzas to Ballito, PizzaBoyz crafts every order with quality ingredients and traditional techniques developed through generations. Featuring classic favourites and signature PizzaBoyz options, there's something for everyone. If you're looking for something on the lighter side, Gulp Smoothies make being healthy delicious. Made from real, whole, fresh ingredients, each smoothie or smoothie pack has locked in nutrients with minimal waste. Looking for a quiet spot to get those final projects finished with fresh coffee and pastries, Seattle Coffee, with their friendly staff are ready to welcome you. To complement the courtyard setting in the centre, more foodie spots will be introduced, giving patrons more options when grabbing a snack between a busy day or settling down for a family dinner.
Family & Home
Complemented by the kids' play area, run by childminders, with more options coming soon to keep the little ones entertained and safe. What makes the Zimbali Oasis even greater is that it doesn't only cater to humans! More than just a car wash, Oasis Auto Spa treats every car and wash with care and attention to detail, with no rushed washes and no generic products. For your home, Jack's Hardware, one of the long-time tenants, and newcomer U&G Lifestyle offer quality home maintenance and décor products.
With the posterior section of the centre still under construction and more office spaces coming soon, there is still excitement surrounding the potential Zimbali Oasis holds. Looking out for these new attractions and events coming soon!
