Palace of the Lost City

Discover Palace of the Lost City

Found in the famous Sun City Resort in South Africa’s North West Province, The Palace of the Lost City is a 5-star hotel mimicking an ancient lost city with huge towers and regal styling. It offers a host of room types and a wide range of facilities and activities.

The famous Valley of The Waves Waterpark is right on the Lost City's doorstep; with a large strip of man-made beach and exciting waterslides. The resort borders the Pilanesberg Nature Reserve, here you can enjoy a range of safari activities. For those visiting Sun City to gamble, paying a visit to Sun City Casino is recommended, while golf lovers can choose to play in two world-class golf courses. There are 25ha of ‘jungle’ gardens to explore as well as activities such as tennis, horse riding, mountain biking, volleyball, water sports, children’s activities, and a spa.
