Event information
Named after a Roman gladiator school, Ludus Magnus is pretty much unrivalled as an exclusive getaway. Framed by majestic Franschhoek mountains and 100% off-the-grid, the estate offers hectares of wide open space, bee hives, fruit trees (citrus, plum, avocado, litchi, mango, banana, pear and macadamia) and its own Shiraz vineyard, making it the idyllic spot to soak up sublime tranquillity.
Unique spaces on the estate include a secluded river deck, a mini private island and a hideaway boma area. On-site activities include river tubing, a pump track and a one-of-a-kind treehouse, while an Olympic length training pool immersed in the free-flowing freshwater dam, a mobile gym, a rugby field and 400m running track will ensure any fitness goals stay on track.
In addition to the 8-roomed Manor House, there are three magnificent villas, each with three bedrooms and private pools. Regardless of which you choose, the friendly team at Ludus Magnus looks after every whim with options including helicopter transfers, spa facilities, a butler on call or even a private chef, ensuring a truly memorable stay.
