Sun City, South Africa

Sun City, the world's most distinctive luxury casino and resort, has a unique heartbeat and an African rhythm of its own, also known as Africa's Kingdom of Pleasure. Situated in the Northwest Province of South Africa, barely two hours' drive from Johannesburg, this entertainment complex borders with the Pilanesberg National Game Reserve. 
 The park was originally owned by three local tribes, and is now administered by the North West Parks and Tourism Board.
The resort has four hotels, above picture is of Palace of the Lost City, one of four magnificent luxury hotels of Sun City. 
The Grand Pool at the Palace is just outside the main entrance. This intricately decorated pool is the ideal place to relax and take in some African sunshine. You can also enjoy light meals and drinks here.
Inspired by a fantasy lost African tribe, the Palace has been lavishly created with rich architecture, mosaics and frescos that add to the mystical ambience and magical aura of this grand hotel, from the opulent hand-painted dome of the reception area to even the smallest detail.
The hotel is surrounded by lush botanical gardens, trickling streams and hidden walking trails that ensure that the Palace does indeed feel like a lost city. Miss world pageant where Aishwariya Ray was crowned Miss World was held here.  
The unique towers with elephant tusk embellishments are a symbol of the true luxury and splendour.
