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.
