Each year, the Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards celebrate the world’s most remarkable destinations, chosen by those who have personally experienced them. This year, we are proud to share that three MORE Collection properties have once again been recognised among South Africa’s top ten resorts and hotels.
About the Awards
In the United States Condé Nast Traveler 2025 Readers’ Choice Awards – Best Resorts in South Africa, Monwana Game Lodge ranked 6th and Lion Sands Game Reserve ranked 9th. In the United Kingdom Condé Nast Traveller 2025 Readers’ Choice Awards – Best Resort in South Africa, Lion Sands featured again, this time at number 8.
Finally, Cape Cadogan Boutique Hotel was named 7th in the Best Hotels in Eastern and Southern Africa.
This year, more than 757 000 readers in the United States alone shared their votes. To be recognised among the world’s finest destinations is a reflection of the enduring connections we strive to create between our people, our locations and our guests.
Robert More, Custodian and CEO of MORE Collection, shared:
“Recognition by Condé Nast readers year after year reaffirms the heart of our brand – that hospitality is about people. It’s our exceptional people who bring our extraordinary experiences to life every day through small gestures and genuine moments of care that our guests never forget. We are incredibly proud of everyone across the Collection who made this possible.”
Lion Sands Game Reserve
Long celebrated among travellers, Lion Sands offers four luxury lodges along the Sabie River, spanning both Sabi Sand Nature Reserve and Kruger National Park. It provides front-row seats to the rhythms of the wild, shaped by teams who care deeply and by places designed to be both inspiring and grounding. Each stay feels unique – from the calm elegance of the reimagined Ivory Lodge, to family laughter at Tinga Lodge, or the romance of a night spent in one of our treehouses.
Cape Cadogan Boutique Hotel
Set in Cape Town’s vibrant Kloof Street neighbourhood, Cape Cadogan Boutique Hotel captures the city’s creative energy. Behind its historic Georgian façade, contemporary design meets heartfelt hospitality, creating a space that feels both elegant and lived-in. Whether beginning or ending a South African journey here, guests experience Cape Town at its most personal – from morning coffee in the Botanical Conservatory to a drink at the Cadogan Bar before an evening out.
Across all our lodges, boutique hotels, and residences – from the wilderness of Marataba to the vibrancy of Cape Town – we share one calling: to create experiences that leave a lasting impact. To know that so many of our guests took the time to vote for us, and that their memories continue to resonate long after their stay, is both humbling and inspiring.
We are deeply grateful to everyone who has shared in our story and invite those yet to experience the MORE Collection to discover what makes these places so special.
