From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Royal Swazi Spa is a major entertainment complex in the Ezulwini Valley of Eswatini. Founded in 1965, the complex is located 4 hours from Johannesburg by road. It is home to a casino, a par-72 golf course, and a spa. The hotel features 149 rooms and is known for its luxurious accommodation. Business Insights called the Royal Swazi Sun Hotel the flagship of Sun International's four hotels in the area.[1]
It opened in 1965, three years prior to Swaziland's independence. It was the first casino-hotel in the region.[2] It was important as a major resort in the area that did not adhere to the Apartheid policies of South Africa.[3] The casino is considered an important part of the country's foreign exchange and serves 250,000 people a year, primarily from neighboring South Africa and Mozambique as well as Italy, Switzerland and France.[4]
The golf course has hosted many professional tournaments, and is the venue for two current Sunshine Tour events, the Royal Swazi Sun Open and the Lombard Insurance Classic.
