The Palace of the Lost City Sun City - Sun City

Location: Sun City Hotel Rating: 4 Star

Set among 60 acres of remote South African wilderness, this sprawling complex built in the crater of an extinct volcano is a wonderland destination where opulence in the bush takes on new meaning.

The jewel property in the Sun City resort, the Palace boasts interiors with hand-carved walls, bespoke furnishings and ceilings that depict a classic African landscape. 


Outside, the imitation sea and palm fringe beach, Valley of Waves, includes a 5,600-square-meter wave pool, waterslides, sway bridge and Botanical Garden trails. A sense of adventure prevails at the 18-hole Lost City Golf Course, which features a crocodile-filled pond. There is also a chance to see the Big Five on safari tours at the adjoining Pilanesberg National Park.


The suites at the Palace of the Lost City live up to its inspiration – the heart of a mythical African kingdom in grand proportions, with graceful architecture finished with mosaics, frescoes and fountains. The setting is sublime: lush tropical landscaping, an intricately decorated Grand Pool surrounded by comfortable sun loungers, murmuring streams and sculpture-lined walkways.

The hotel has a total of 338 spacious suites, each equipped with Wi-Fi, air conditioning, tea- and coffee-making facilities, a television, a safe and a mini bar. From the plush en suite bathrooms to the stellar views and 24-hour in-room dining, every detail of your suite at The Palace is designed to inspire and pamper you.

An international menu to match its palatial proportions, the Crystal Court’s floor-to-ceiling arched window frame exquisite water features and lush gardens, with sparkling glimpses of the Grand Pool beyond as you tuck into breakfast or afternoon high tea.
