THE PALACE OF THE LOST CITY
PHOTOS MAPS

The 338-room complex with its fantastical African architecture is among the most unusual buildings in the world. Sun City is a gigantic leisure park with casinos and safari trails; it took shape on the drawing board and is considered to be the Las Vegas of Africa. It is no coincidence that it also shares the nickname of Las Vegas: Sin City. Covering over 212 square miles of untouched (and malaria-free) landscape, South African golf legend Gary Player created two outstanding 18-hole courses that host important professional tournaments every year—including the Million Dollar Challenge where the victor can look forward to a seven-digit check. The Lost City Course in particular requires steady nerves from amateur players: Crocodiles lurk in the water hazard on hole 13. Regular guests of the resort include Elton John, Julio Iglesias, and Tina Turner.
