South Africa - Sun City

Fun and fantasy, as much as you like, just a short drive from Johannesburg. At Sun City and the Lost City at Sun City. Outside, great weather, lush landscaping, extensive gardens and cool water bodies. Golf, horse riding, a complete range of water sports.

Inside, round-the-clock entertainment: the thrills of casino and slots gambling, a choice of restaurants from the casual to the sophisticated, cinemas and bars, the music and dance spectacle of the Extravaganza show.

And a wide-ranging choice of accommodation. Starting from the top: The Palace of the Lost City at Sun City, set in the world’s largest man-made jungle… overlooking the valley of waves, an enormous water park, complete with 2m high breakers perfect for surfing. 

The luxurious sports, entertainment and casino Mecca has four hotels located in the crater of an extinct volcano on the edge of a game reserve. The hotels are all within walking distance and are linked by a 24-hour complimentary shuttle service. Apart from the annual Million-dollar Golf Classic which has attracted all the world’s top golfers, it hosted the Miss World contest won by Miss India, & has seen performances by top entertainers such as Frank Sinatra, Cliff Richard, Rod Stewart & Elton John. 

The Lost City represents an African fantasy based on the theme of a lost civilization rediscovered in the dense jungles of the Valley of the Waves. The jungle, with more than 2 million trees & plants, is the largest ever made by man. The centerpiece of the Lost City is The Palace, a 338-room luxury hotel with fantasy architecture & dramatic sculptures. The sheer magnitude & imagination of the complex makes Sun City a must-see in South Africa. The selection of fine cuisine includes a specialist Indian restaurant.

The Palace dominates the Lost City skyline; its soaring domed towers crowning lavishly designed interiors that pay homage to both art and nature. One makes a grand entrance here, into a multi columned rotunda, eyes drawn up to a richly patterned ceiling, then swept down again to the dramatic mosaic patterns of a marble and granite floor.

This boldness of style follows through everywhere: in the cathedral-like spaces of public areas and in the spacious rooms, where evocative African colors and richly detailed furnishings make for the ultimate in opulence and comfort.

The Lost City meets the Sun City complex at the Entertainment Center. Here is the Jungle Casino, building further on the fantasy theme… and the adjoining Hall of Treasures, with its state-of-the-art gambling machines and video games.
