Overview & Capacity

Badplaas, A Forever Resort — the old Aventura/ATKV site — is the workhorse of this group and the one built for volume. Its five conference rooms top out with the Impala Hall at 600 cinema / 300 banquet, backed by in-house AV, a health hydro, mineral pools, a water park and 1,200 hectares of reserve that make team-building effortless. It is verified wide open: a 2026 Travellers' Choice award, 4.2 from 1,484 TripAdvisor reviews and a review as recent as July 2026, with contact and capacity confirmed straight off the official conferencing page. It is value-tier rather than luxe and some reviewers flag maintenance, so grade the accommodation and confirm rates — but for big, budget-conscious corporate groups near KMIA it is the obvious pick.

B&W Production Notes

  • Yes — large-scale group/conference infrastructure, though value-tier finish
B&W Verdict

The big-group value engine. Not luxe, but it seats 600 and B&W can build a proper team-build weekend around the hydro and reserve.

Suitable For

Large-scale conferencesAGMsteam-building and family-inclusive corporate events (up to 600) on a value budget.

What we like

  • In-house AV plus health hydro, water park & 1,200 ha reserve for team-building
  • Verified open with best data of the set (Travellers' Choice 2026, 4.2/1484, review July 2026)

What to confirm
