Oceans Mall is a shopping centre situated in the coastal town of uMhlanga, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, approximately 19 kilometres (11,8 mi) north-east of Durban.
Co-developed by businessman and founder of the Edison Group Vivian Reddy, as well as businessman Rob Alexandra, the 36,000 m² Oceans Mall forms part of the R4.3 billion mixed-use Oceans Umhlanga Development located in the bustling heart of uMhlanga Rocks, also known as uMhlanga Village.[4][5]
The first phase of the shopping centre was launched on the 15 November 2022 with the second phase launched in March 2023 which included the opening of “Platinum Walk”, an array of premium international fashion brands and the first of its kind in Durban.
