South Africa is a place of diverse landscapes, rich cultures, and countless hidden gems waiting to be discovered. Beyond the well-known tourist destinations, there are lesser-explored treasures that offer unique experiences for the curious traveller. Orion Hotels & Resorts is your gateway to uncovering these remarkable places, where each stay is an adventure in itself.

Imagine spending a weekend in the Drakensberg Mountains, where the air is crisp, and the views are nothing short of breathtaking. Our Mont Aux Sources Drakensberg Resort, opening on the 28th of November, offers a front-row seat to this UNESCO World Heritage Site. Whether you’re hiking the trails, horseback riding through the valleys, enjoying the wood-fired hot tubs, or simply relaxing in your pet-friendly chalet, this is an experience that reconnects you with nature in its purest form.

For those who prefer the serenity of water, why not explore the tranquil beauty of the Limpopo province? Ditholo Game Lodge, with its tranquil dams and abundant wildlife, offers a peaceful escape. Try your hand at fishing, or simply unwind as you watch the sunset over the water. It’s a gem that provides a rejuvenating retreat away from the hustle and bustle.

If you’re seeking a blend of history and charm, a stay at Coach House Hotel & Spa in Tzaneen is a must. This historic property offers beautiful accommodations as well as a glimpse into South Africa’s rich heritage. Explore nearby sites like the Agatha Forest Reserve or take a scenic drive through the Magoebaskloof Pass. After a day of adventure, return to the hotel for a relaxing spa treatment – a perfect way to end your day.
