With its turrets piercing the indigo Eastern Cape skyline, The Boardwalk Casino and Entertainment Centre, located in Algoa Bay, the coastal strip of Nelson Mandela Bay, is one of South Africa’s most sought after business and holiday destinations. From its stunning beachfront location to its classically charming architecture, evocative of age-old Victorian grandeur, The Boardwalk is the ideal resort for locals and tourists alike.

When it comes to entertainment this beachfront precinct offers up a deluge of fun and excitement for business travellers, families and romantics and it’s about to get better –a R1-billion expansion is currently in progress and upon completion, guests will find a wealth of immaculate amenities.

A new addition will be the 5-star Boardwalk Hotel and Spa due to open in December 2012. The architecture will be reminiscent of the Victorian era and the public areas and guest rooms will be comfortably appointed in a mid-century décor style with modern conveniences such as LCD TVs, luxurious beds, mini bars, and bijou balconies offering views of the Indian Ocean. Boasting 140 guest rooms, the hotel’s unique variety of accommodation will satisfy every requirement.

The hotel spa will feature holistic massage and treatment rooms, steam rooms, hydrotherapy tubs, an indoor pool and a private terrace. Guests will be able to enjoy High Tea in the hotel lobby, go for a swim in the outdoor pool, or indulge in Indian cuisine at The Restaurant.

The gardens and colourful ponds will be complemented by a multi-media lake spectacular – a musical fountain choreographed to dance in time to popular music.
