For a more casual atmosphere, order light lunches at the Pool Braai Buffet & Snack Bar or order poolside cocktails from the Cocktail Bar.

Enjoy a cocktail, pre-dinner drinks or a nightcap at the Tusk Bar and Lounge where three dominating teak arches, each in the form of huge elephant tusks.

Traveller Reviews

  • Sun City was a terrific way to end our trip; allowing us to relax and enjoy the spoils of the resort. The architecture/art in the Palace of the Lost city was mind blowing. Exploring the hotel was an adventure in itself. Like Motswiri, the staff were extremely friendly and accommodating.

    David Nicholls, April 2013

  • Hi Lucy Thank you so much, I am much better, which is great, and we had a very special time at The Palace! It is a beautiful place and the service is superb - they even sung to me at breakfast for my birthday - the most beautiful choir! Thank you so much for all your assistance. We most certainly will recommend you to friends and family. Kind regards Amy

  • The palace really blew my mind in the dĂ©cor and the surrounding structures as did the valley of the waves. All the staff at every venue were very friendly and courteous…. Oh and the food everywhere was really delicious, ate far too much.
