Sun City Resort
That a resort can become a destination is testament to its glamorous glitz and exciting entertainment. Sun City has plenty of both.
A gaudy oasis adjacent to a splendid game reserve, Sun City borrows from the world’s most famous shrines to the mass entertainment industry. Pieces of Vegas crop up all over the show and backing tracks come from Copacabana, Ibiza, some fictitious African kingdom, Dubai, a Florida retirement village; and an airport lounge.
Entertaining your client, the young ones, the old ones and everybody else is a line-up of activities that would keep a cruise ship afloat for several years. Your clients would do well to hop onto one of those ridiculous Segway contraptions for a whistle-stop tour of the resort – it’s a fun way to avoid reading reams of activity listings in their hefty brochures.
Boutique shops, restaurants, movies, bars, clubs, casinos, swimming pools, water slides, a beach, spas, squash, tennis, gym, florists, concerts, cabarets, a million children’s activities… you get the picture. Oh yes, they do weddings too.
Slowing the tempo are two Gary Player championship golf courses – one the stage for the annual Nedbank Golf Challenge and the other with a crocodile-infested water hazard.
The resort has four large hotels built entirely around your clients wallet - however deep it may be. The Palace of the Lost City for larger-than-life luxury; Cascades for a Mediterranean fiesta; Sun City Hotel for the people that actually play golf; and the Sun City Cabanas for mum, dad and their two and a half kids.
