Treat your SO to a stay at The Palace of the Lost City in Sun City. Splurge on 5-star dining and in-room spa spoils. Toast the rising sun on an early morning hot-air balloon ride over the Pilanesberg National Park, discover the Big Five up close on a game drive, or lounge around the adults-only swimming pools, The Royal Baths.
Take your romance to new heights at Cathedral Peak hotel in the Drakensberg. Choose a romantic honeymoon suite, with a king-size bed, fireplace, Victorian slipper bath and private verandah. You even get the use of a golf cart to explore the resort during your stay.
MSC local cruises are always a great option for a romantic break. Heading up and down the South African coast from Cape Town and Durban or to Portuguese Island, these cruises are the perfect way to unwind. Plus, every night on a cruise ship can be date night! Sip sundowners on deck, dine out at a restaurant and then enjoy a live show and a few turns around the dance floor at the onboard nightclub.
