  "account": "A new rooftop venue, Infinity Skydeck, has opened above Umhlanga, providing breathtaking views of the KwaZulu-Natal coastline and Indian Ocean. The venue, designed by Durban power couple Vivian Reddy and Sorisha Naidoo, caters to various events, including weddings, corporate launches, private celebrations, brand activations, and sundowner receptions. The Infinity Skydeck takes advantage of its elevated position, showcasing the coastline, city, and ocean as the backdrop. The architecture features clean lines, natural textures, and a neutral color palette, allowing the focus to remain on the surrounding landscape. The venue transforms as the day progresses, from the warm golden-hour light to the illuminated coastline at night. The venue is available for exclusive use and can accommodate seated dinners, cocktail receptions, conferences, and photographic shoots. The launch of Infinity Skydeck follows the completion of a multi-phase development of the site, enhancing Umhlanga's hospitality and lifestyle offerings. Vivian Naidoo explained, \"Umhlanga has always had one of the most beautiful coastlines in the country, but very few places let you stand inside that view. That was the whole idea behind Infinity Skydeck, a space where the sky meets the sea, and where the setting does half the work of making an occasion feel special.\"",
