Before you set sail
Everything you need to know about Marítimo 2027.
Thursday 29 April to Sunday 2 May 2027. Gates open at 14:00 on Thursday and we say goodbye around 16:00 on Sunday.
Zinkwazi Lagoon Lodge in Zinkwazi, KwaZulu-Natal — about 30 minutes from Ballito, an hour from Durban and roughly a six-hour drive from Johannesburg and Pretoria.
Deliberately small. Year one is capped at 1 500 crew, spread across six worlds on one lagoon.
Alternative, indie, folk, blues, rock and groove — live bands, DJ sets and acoustic sessions. Around 35–40 curated acts. Full lineup drops early 2027.
