The First Voyage · 29 April – 2 May 2027
MARÍTIMO
Music. Ocean. Escape.
Four days of live music, camping and lagoon life at Zinkwazi Lagoon Lodge, KwaZulu-Natal. Park the car, pitch camp — or check in — and disappear from normal life until Sunday afternoon.
The voyage
72 hours.
One lagoon.
No real world.
Marítimo is a long weekend away and a tribe — not just a lineup. Lagoon, ocean and forest meet inside a seven-kilometre conservancy, thirty minutes from Ballito: far enough to escape, close enough to reach.
Year one is deliberately small. Come for the day, stay for the weekend, or base yourself in Zinkwazi — you're free to come and go. But with everything on one lagoon, most people never want to leave.
The site
Six worlds on one lagoon
01
The Harbour
Main stage next to the lagoon. Live bands, whole-crowd moments, bar & pool.
02
The Deck
Daytime stage and bar under the tree canopies. Acoustic sets and stories.
03
The Roost
Restaurant in the forest. An indoor escape and night-time wind down.
04
The Clearing
Open-air wellness lawn. Yoga, meditation, food stalls and good energy.
05
The Careenage
Covered deck, sun loungers and pool. Relax and unwind.
06
The Regatta
Games on! Padel or putt-putt, with a sneaky bar in between.
