A second course, the Gary Player Golf Course, named best of the country, is also available. The first desert golf course in South Africa, Lost City Golf Course is known for its originality, as shown by the crocodile pond by hole 13. Its chef Jean-Marc Droulers himself trained the "Villa del Palazzo" 6 chefs. One sits in chairs sculpted into wild animal heads while the tableware and the head waiter's outfit are a reminder of the famous "Villa d'Este" restaurant on the banks of Lake Como. Composed of five round pavilions on the water, this very upscale restaurant is a tasteful mix of African and Mediterranean styles. Open only for dinner, the very chic "Villa del Palazzo" offers gourmet Italian gastronomy and a particularly rich wine selection. Light meals and a South African grill are also offered for lunch by the pool. International gastronomy with a strong African flair is served for lunch and dinner, sometimes with a theme menu. Breakfast alone is worth the trip: Around the impressive elephant fountain, abundant trays of fruit, cheese and cold cuts, breads and cereal, pancakes and omelettes prepared according to your wishes.
Located in the lobby, the "Crystal Court" offers a prestigious environment and pleasant patio for all three meals. A totally artificial environment, but surprisingly realistic!
This beach connects to the Entertainment Centre through the Bridge of Time, periodically shattered by earthquakes. From the impressive statue of "Shawu", a 92 feet high symbolic bronze elephant, large stairs flooded with foliage give Palace guests direct access to Sun City beach. Children have their own swimming pool with toys and giant animals. There, large African tents house a bar and a restaurant. On either side of this central space, boutiques, sitting areas, bars, and conference rooms are scattered, rivalling in originality, like the superb "Tusk Bar" with sculpted wooden tusks weighting over 2 tons each! Access to the large outside pool of the hotel is just as spectacular: It is an artificial grotto from which flows a cascade, along the "Villa del Palazzo", the upscale restaurant of the Palace. It continues with a gigantic staircase directly leading to the "Crystal Court", a restaurant with patio decorated with columns sculpted as elephant feet. Greatness and excessiveness assail the visitor as he enters the lobby, nestled in a 82 feet high rotunda decorated with savanna animals.
