If you’re craving fresh mountain air, uninterrupted views and a resort that has absolutely everything you need for the perfect escape, Premier Resort Sani Pass needs to be on your list. Set in the heart of the Southern Drakensberg, this gorgeous mountain resort is peaceful, family friendly and packed with activities for every age. 🍃⛰️✨
We stayed in the Suite King, and honestly, we didn’t want to leave. It’s one of those spaces where you immediately feel relaxed. The suite is beautifully spacious with a super king bed, indoor fireplace, walk-in shower, a bathtub big enough for a proper soak, and panoramic mountain views that make you want to slow right down and savour every moment.
The resort really shines when it comes to facilities and activities. Whether you’re a couple wanting to unwind, a family with energetic kids, or someone who loves the outdoors, there is truly something for everyone here. Guests can enjoy guided hikes, self-guided walking trails, horse riding trails, two swimming pools including a heated one, a gorgeous on-site waterfall, a spa, a restaurant and bar, a kids club area, a games room and loads of family friendly activities. It’s the kind of place where you can do everything, or nothing at all, depending on what you’re in the mood for.
We loved how easy it was to reconnect with nature here. The mountains wrap around the resort, and no matter where you are - in your suite, at breakfast, by the pool or out exploring - the views are spectacular. It’s peaceful, quiet, and the perfect escape from life’s busyness.
The suites offer everything you need for a comfortable stay. Along with the mountain views and super king bed, you’ll have a sleeper couch, a separate lounge area, a kitchenette, free high speed WiFi, and a workstation if you need to catch up on anything while you’re away. Inter-leading rooms are also available if you’re travelling as a larger family.
One of the biggest drawcards of staying at Premier Resort Sani Pass is being right near the iconic Sani Pass. This steep, rugged mountain road connects South Africa to Lesotho and is famous for its dramatic scenery, hairpin bends and incredible 4x4 adventures. At the top you can even grab a drink at the highest pub in Africa. Whether you take a guided tour or simply admire the landscapes from below, it’s a must do experience in this region.
Premier Resort Sani Pass truly offers the best mix of relaxation and adventure. You can spend your morning hiking, your afternoon lounging by the pool, and your evenings cosy inside your suite with the fireplace going. It’s ideal for families, couples and anyone wanting to switch off, unwind and spend time in nature.
If you’re planning your next Drakensberg getaway, definitely save this one. It’s peaceful, luxurious and surrounded by some of the most beautiful landscapes in South Africa. 🍃⛰️✨
