The Kingdom Resort is celebrating a proud moment: once again being named among South Africa’s best at the 2026 World Travel Awards. More than an accolade, it honours the family memories made here every day – a child’s first wildlife sighting, the excitement of racing towards Splash Kingdom and unhurried moments shared around the table. Above all, it celebrates the dedicated people who make every stay feel special.
The Kingdom Resort was one of three Beekman Group resorts recognised at this year’s awards, alongside Cayley Mountain Resort – a wonderful reflection of the care and hospitality found across the group. To every guest, owner and supporter who voted for us, thank you. Whether you have joined us for a long-awaited escape, a milestone celebration or a much-loved annual tradition, you helped bring this award home. We feel privileged to be part of the holidays your family treasures and looks forward to each year.
Growing with Every Family in Mind
That same promise can be felt throughout the resort. A day at The Kingdom Resort might begin with one of only two Rare Game Experiences in South Africa, build into on-site thrills with Leap Adventures, continue through the slides and fountains of Splash Kingdom and end over a meal at the refreshed Acacia Table. A complimentary shuttle makes a family outing to popular area attractions effortless.
Now, The Kingdom Resort is preparing for an exciting new chapter. A new village will introduce 14 buildings across chalets, suites and studios, giving guests even more choice when planning a Pilanesberg escape, whether they come for adventure, rest or a little of both.
“This win belongs to the people at the heart of The Kingdom Resort: our dedicated team, our trusted owners and every guest who chooses to spend precious family time with us. As the resort grows, our promise remains the same: to welcome every family with genuine care and create the kind of stays they will remember long after they return home.” – Tony Hazel, Group Resorts Executive
With a new chapter taking shape, The Kingdom Resort is creating even more space for families to return, reconnect and begin traditions of their own.
A Pilanesberg Escape to Treasure
Some places stay with you long after you leave. At The Kingdom Resort, mornings begin with the Pilanesberg bush beyond your door, afternoons unfold in a rush of water-soaked laughter, and evenings bring everyone back together around the table. It’s a place to slow down, reconnect and fill your days with the kind of moments your family will talk about for years to come.
Your kingdom of family adventure awaits.
