Sun City Resort
Your guide to Sun City Resort.
The four hotels
The Palace of the Lost City is the flagship, a five-star property built around lush tropical gardens, a grand pool and direct access to the Valley of Waves water park. It suits couples and families who want the most luxurious option.
The Cascades is a four-star hotel set beside a tranquil lagoon, popular with couples and golfers for its proximity to the Gary Player Country Club course.
Sun City Hotel (the main hotel) sits at the heart of the entertainment complex, close to the cinema, restaurants and casino. It offers the most convenient base for guests who want everything within walking distance.
The Cabanas is the most affordable choice, designed for families with children. It has its own pool, a games area and quick access to the Waterworld lake.
Valley of Waves and resort highlights
The Valley of Waves is a world-class water park featuring the Temple of Courage, a 17-metre drop down a 70-metre slide, surrounded by artificial waves, pools and a lazy river. Entry is included for Palace guests and available to all resort visitors. Other highlights include the Gary Player Country Club, an 18-hole par-72 championship course, the Maze of the Lost City, zip-lining and quad biking.
When to go
Sun City is a year-round destination. October to March brings hot weather ideal for the water park, with afternoon thunderstorms that clear quickly. May to September is drier and cooler, which makes Pilanesberg game drives more comfortable and golf more pleasant. School holidays (mid-December to mid-January, late March to mid-April, late June to mid-July) are the busiest periods.
Getting there
Sun City is in the North West province, roughly two hours' drive (110 miles) north-west of Johannesburg via the N4. Scheduled shuttles and private transfers run daily from O.R. Tambo International Airport. Our safari specialists can arrange transfers as part of a wider itinerary.
