 The Palace, Sun City 

Palatial and opulent

Sun City's luxurious African Palace.

Grand, elegant and palatial, this impressive hotel has been inspired by the myth of a lost African kingdom. Rising like a mirage from the green landscape, it’s a fantastic place to stay for all ages. It's home to one of Africa's greatest water parks and there’s a real emphasis on adventure, with Pilanesberg Game Reserve, Kwena Gardens (crocodile sanctuary) and a zip line nearby. The hotel has its own Olympic-size swimming pool and puts all the attractions of Sun City on your doorstep from bars and restaurants to golf courses, tennis, squash, horse riding, a man-made beach and wave pool, a watersports lake and Kamp Kwena Kids’ club. Yet, if you need it, there’s also a sense of relaxation with tranquil gardens laced with trickling streams.
