Pure romantic fantasy best describes the Palace of the Lost City. Located in rugged desert about 100 miles from Johannesburg, the Palace's Angkor Wat-inspired architecture does a good job of giving the resort a dated feeling. Surrounding the complex is a man-made jungle complete with 1 .6 million trees and over 10,000 orchids.
The interior of the hotel matches the exterior in both flair and in style. Its 340 luxurious rooms and suites feature hand-carved furniture and colorful fabrics designed especially for the hotel. Particularly nice are the spacious amenity-laden baths, a welcome luxury after a long day in the sun. Downstairs you'll find grand sweeping staircases, striking sculptures, frescoes, inlaid marble floors, furniture crafted of pear, mahogany, and ebony, and beautiful mosaics. There's also the hotel's two top-flight restaurants to discover.
Outside you'll rejoice in the playful design of the pool. Here you can catch one of the pool's seven-foot-high waves and ride it all the way up to the white-sand beach. Or you can try the water slide or simply relax on a tube as you drift down the Sacred River. If the pool and its attractions begin to bore you, try one of the resort's two eighteen-hole championship golf courses at the Gary Player Country Club. A world-class golfing destination, this club hosts the Million Dollar Golf Challenge. Just watch out for the hazard on hole 13... live crocodiles.
