The Palace of the Lost City

The Palace of the Lost City is one of Africa's most famous hotels. With its domed towers, grand halls and jungle gardens, it feels like stepping into a legend. Opulent. Unforgettable. And just steps from the first tee.

If you want the ultimate luxury golf break in South Africa, The Palace of the Lost City is the place to stay!

Accommodation

There are around 335 rooms and suites at The Palace of the Lost City. Luxury Rooms come with double or twin beds and marble-topped bathrooms, while Superior Suites add a separate lounge and dining area, with views over the Grand Pool or the Lost City Golf Course. For something truly special, the King and African Suites offer frescoed ceilings, private jacuzzis and sweeping views. We think it's worth every penny!

Golf

This is where The Palace of the Lost City really comes into its own. The Lost City Golf Course is right on the doorstep, with its rugged desert-style layout and the famous crocodile 13th. Gary Player Country Club, home of the Nedbank Golf Challenge, is just a short shuttle ride away. Two championship courses, both designed by Gary Player, on one resort. It doesn't get much better than that!

Dining & Drink

Dining at The Palace of the Lost City is a real occasion. Crystal Court serves international cuisine under soaring windows, while Plume offers fine dining from the grill overlooking the Grand Pool. Enjoy cocktails by the pool, afternoon tea in the Palm Court Lounge, then a nightcap in the Tusk Bar with its hand-carved tusks and live piano music. After a round at the Lost City, you've earned it!

Location & Transport

The Palace of the Lost City is set at the heart of Sun City Resort in South Africa's North West Province, on the edge of the Pilanesberg National Park. Johannesburg's O.R. Tambo International Airport is roughly two and a half hours away by road. A private walkway leads to the Valley of the Waves, and game drives in the Pilanesberg are close by, so there's plenty to do on a rest day.
