Cayley Mountain Remains South Africa's Leading Lifestyle Resort for 2025!
Tue, 1 Jul 2025
We've done it again! We're proud to share that Cayley Mountain Resort has officially been named South Africa's Leading Lifestyle Resort 2025 for the fourth consecutive year at the World Travel Awards. Tucked away in the heart of the Central Drakensberg, surrounded by nature's wonders, we are a lifestyle resort that has achieved the perfect balance between adventure, wellness and relaxation.
What Makes Cayley Mountain Resort a South African Lifestyle Favourite?
This accolade highlights everything that sets Cayley Mountain Resort apart for both local and international guests. From sweeping Drakensberg views and thoughtfully designed amenities to a holiday atmosphere built around family, fun and connection, it's easy to see why guests return year after year.
There truly is something for everyone. Relax at the newly refurbished Cayley Beach Club, grab a wood-fired pizza at the upgraded Bell & Whistle restaurant, or enjoy the majestic views of the Drakensberg from the Steam Café. Our new temperature-controlled lap pool offers breathtaking views of the Drakensberg mountains. For the adventurous, there's hiking, quad biking, paintball, archery, and a range of water activities including an inflatable waterpark, boat cruises, water skiing, tubing and kiddie bumper boats. Families love the open spaces and daily kids' activities, while couples unwind at the tranquil Body Bliss Day Spa.
In the past year, we've made exciting upgrades to help guests make the most of their stay and we continue to evolve without losing the charm our guests know and love. Beyond the resort, guests can explore nearby attractions like the Champagne Valley, the iconic Drakensberg Boys Choir and the world-renowned Cathedral Peak hikes.
Tony Hazel, Resorts Executive at The Beekman Group, shared his pride in our achievement:
“Winning this award four years running is an incredible achievement. This award reflects 50 years of committed innovation and excellence in lifestyle, leisure and family holidays in South Africa! The resort team are so excited because it's another way their hard work and dedication to their guests continue to be recognised.”
This win belongs to our resort team – the heart and soul of Cayley. From our groundskeepers, spa therapists, chefs to our guest relations, every team member plays a role in creating the warm, welcoming space our guests love to call their home away from home.
