New Developments and Adventures That Elevate Guest Experiences


At the Beekman Group, we’re always tuned in to what guests love most. One trend that’s captured the imagination of active holidaymakers across South Africa? – Padel! This sport has exploded in popularity across South Africa, capturing the hearts of families, friends and holidaymakers looking for a fun and social way to stay moving.

Recognising the growing demand for exciting sports and activities during a holiday stay, we’ve jumped in to bring the action to our resorts. As part of our ongoing commitment to enhance every guest’s experience, we’ve introduced brand-new padel courts at some of our most beloved holiday destinations.

For us, a great getaway is more than just beautiful views and luxurious stays. It’s about creating moments of fun, laughter and connection. Now, guests of all ages can serve, swing and smash their way to even more unforgettable memories.

Padel Courts & Fresh Facilities for the Win!

Introducing our newest resort feature, padel courts – now open at The Kingdom Resort near Pilanesberg National Park and Cayley Mountain Resort in the Central Drakensberg and Kiara Lodge near Golden Gate Highlands National Park.

The Kingdom Resort

Tucked just minutes away from the iconic Pilanesberg National Park, The Kingdom Resort has become one of the most renowned family resorts in the North West Province. And now, it’s home to brand-new padel and pickleball courts, open to all guests looking to break a sweat or pick up a fun new hobby.

These fast-growing social sports have taken South Africa by storm and now you can experience the fun for yourself. Both games are easy to learn, perfect for all ages and addictively fun. With the African bush as your backdrop, every match will be one to remember.

When it’s time to cool off, head to the brand-new pools in the Jungle Zone, just a splash away from Splash Kingdom. This vibrant water play area promises fun for all ages. After the excitement, unwind at the Jungle Café where delicious snacks and relaxed poolside vibes will round out your perfect family day.
