On 16 July 2026, Beekman Group was named KZN’s Top Brand at the 2026 KZN Top Business Awards, held at the Durban ICC. As the award was decided by public vote, the recognition holds special meaning for the Group and the people who have supported its journey over the years.
For a proudly KwaZulu-Natal-based family business with more than five decades in leisure, hospitality and property management, this achievement reflects the support of our guests, members, employees, partners and communities.
More than anything, it reinforces a simple truth: a brand is not what a business says about itself – it’s what people choose to return to.
What The ‘Beekman Group’ Brand Stands For
For us, brand strength has never been about a logo, a campaign or a single destination. It lives in the experience: the first welcome, the familiar resort road, the family tradition, the trusted booking, and the confidence that a holiday will be handled with care.
This is what has built our loyal following. Guided by our vision of Making Extraordinary Holidays THE Standard, we continue to create memorable holiday experiences across Southern Africa.
Rooted in KZN, Reaching Across Southern Africa
Our story began on the KwaZulu-Natal South Coast, but today we manage a portfolio of resorts across Southern Africa and serve more than 80,000 members, offering everything from beach escapes and mountain retreats to bushveld getaways and family favourites.
While our footprint has grown, KZN remains home. Being recognised as KZN’s Top Brand is a proud reminder of the connection between our brand and the people who have helped shape our journey.
Why Loyalty Follows the Beekman Group Name
A strong hospitality brand is built long before a guest arrives at reception. Our commitment is guided by The Beekman W.A.Y: Wow Our Customers, Always Evolving, and You Make the Difference.
These values shape how we serve our guests, improve our resorts and work together to deliver holiday experiences that families can rely on.
A Win Shared by Many
This award belongs to the holidaymakers who return year after year, the members who trust us with their family holidays, the teams who bring our resorts to life, and everyone who took the time to vote.
For Beekman Group, this recognition is both a celebration and a responsibility. It honours what has been built while motivating us to continue creating exceptional holiday experiences for generations to come.
To every guest, member, employee, partner, family member, friend and voter: thank you. KZN may be home, but the journey ahead is bigger than one province — and Beekman Group is ready to keep Making Extraordinary Holidays THE Standard.
