Escape to the Palace of the Lost City at Sun City, one of South Africa’s first visionary hotels imagined and brought to life by famous hotel magnate, Sol Kerzner in 1992, a place of sheer escapism and fantasy and a place where you can find top class accommodation in a serene garden setting. Run away from your day-to-day life to Northwest Province and come and experience something completely out of the box, at one of South Africa’s best-known family and golf resorts. Book online for great special package deals with us!

The Palace of the Lost City is one of four upmarket hotels at Sun City – a luxury resort and casino in the North West Province of South Africa, only 140km away from Johannesburg, on the border of Pilanesberg Game Reserve. 

The Palace of The Lost City was built in 1992 and should feature on your bucket list to experience something extraordinary for your next holiday or weekend getaway – the magical setting in the jungle is the largest manmade jungle ever created on earth! The jungle garden took 2 years to complete when 440 gardeners planted 6 000 mature trees, and 1.6 million plants – they formed 4 different ecosystems reflecting wetlands, rainforests, a coastal area and a desert area.

Book your Lost City accommodation at the Palace of the Lost City and experience the incredible Valley of the Waves, a vast man-made water park for all ages where fake waterfalls, rivers, streams and slides entertain tourists all day. Southern Africa’s largest maze is here too, and a 90m long suspension bridge to get there.

Five-star luxury greets guests in extraordinary architecture that has to be seen to be believed, all reflecting the African myth about the lost city, lost tribe and its themes. Bronze and stone carvings of wild animals, mosaics, huge, arched ceilings, towers and weird and wonderful structures surround you as walk around this massive landscape. 

Choose luxury Lost City accommodation in 336 lavish rooms – 3 presidential suites, 6 superior suites, 151 luxury rooms, 6 junior suites, 77 superior luxury rooms, 35 superior luxury pool-facing rooms, 55 family rooms and 3 paraplegic rooms. Dine in the Crystal Court in the mornings and order your dinner in the plush Plume and Grill Room while the pool deck is a great place for fancy lunches. Enjoy the two giant swimming pools, the beauty salon and spa and all the entertainment around you for days on end at the Lost City South Africa.

What do past clients say about this destination?

We take my daughter to the Palace often and this time she loved it even more – Robert the Pianist called her to play something for the breakfast guests so she did and everyone clapped. Besides that, we always do the maze, the amazing Valley of the Waves and we are teaching my daughter tennis and golf so that is the best place to do it.
