Two beautiful South African getaways have been added to the “Most Romantic Hotels in the World” list for 2023 and we are feeling the Proudly South African love!

 

South Africa (08 February 2023) – South Africa is home to some beautiful landscapes that definitely bring out the romantic side for couples. Two stunning getaways have earned a place on the 50 Most Romantic Hotels in the World List. Neither of them is actually a hotel, more like a lifestyle getaway to the mountains or the bush.

1.5 million people from 60 countries take surveys and vote for the best travel accolades around the world. Big 7 Media share several lists which promote global travel. In the past, we have shared their lists about South Africa, including the most recent, Cape Town becoming one of the most “Instagrammable” cities in the world for the 5th year in a row.

South Africa has earned hundreds of travel awards, you need only check out the Good Things Guy Travel section to find the best places in the country.

Now, two beautiful getaways have earned their place on a “world best” list. The very best in SA according to Big 7 Travel is the Future Found Sanctuary, which earned 22nd place on the list. Lion Sands Ivory Lodge which earned 35th has been placed on the list for a second time.

With Valentine’s Day around the corner, we love being able to celebrate these two getaways.

22. Future Found Sanctuary – Cape Town, South Africa

“Future Found Sanctuary is Cape Town’s only mountain retreat. Set in seven acres of secluded gardens brimming with indigenous flora and fauna, it’s the perfect place for couples to wind down after a few days in bustling Cape Town. Facilities and amenities are geared towards relaxation and restoration, from yoga and meditation to the heated and natural pools.” – Big 7 Travel

35. Lion Sands Ivory Lodge – Mpumalanga, South Africa

“Set in truly unspoiled wilderness, where the Sabi Sand meets the world-renowned Kruger National Park, Lion Sands Ivory Lodge is one of South Africa’s most spectacular lodges. And, the team have thought of everything, from serving your favourite champagnes in the maxibar to dining under the stars. For the ultimate romantic getaway, check The Kingston Treehouse. Built on boulders, you’ll need to step across a small drawbridge, with lanterns to light the way. The pictures speak for themselves…” – Big 7 Travel
