Emerging from the rugged volcanic landscape of the Pilanesberg mountains, The Palace of the Lost City is an architectural masterpiece, inspired by the myth of a lost African kingdom.
The Palace offers a rare blend of royal opulence and wild adventure, all while situated on the doorstep of a malaria-free safari destination and is ideally located just a two-and-a-half-hour drive from Johannesburg.
Guests at The Palace enjoy exclusive access to two of the world’s most renowned championship courses, both designed by the legendary Gary Player.
The Gary Player Country Club: Home to the prestigious Nedbank Golf Challenge, this world-famous par-72 walking course is consistently ranked as one of the best on the continent. Its demanding layout, featuring narrow fairways and clever bunkers, offers a true test of skill for every golfer.
The Lost City Golf Course: A desert-style masterpiece covering 100 hectares. This course is most famous for its 13th hole, where the water hazard is home to Nile crocodiles. It is an unforgettable round that perfectly captures the untamed spirit of the resort.
Beyond the greens, The Palace provides a wealth of leisure facilities designed to cater to every whim:
- The Valley of Waves: Access one of the world’s most advanced water parks, featuring a man-made beach and turquoise lagoons.
- Royal Dining: From the crystal chandeliers and elegant breakfasts of the Crystal Court to fine dining at The Grill Room, the culinary experiences are as grand as the architecture.
- Safari at your Doorstep: Located adjacent to the Pilanesberg National Park, you can transition from the golf course to a guided game drive in minutes, searching for the ‘Super Seven’ in their natural habitat.
- The Royal Spa: After a day on the course, retreat to the spa for bespoke treatments or unwind by the Olympic-sized swimming pool.
