Fun at Wild Coast Sun
The Wild Coast Sun Resort on the South Coast has oodles of activities and entertainment lined up this Easter.
Being Sun International’s only beachfront resort means that there is an abundance of water-based activities on offer.
From rides at the Wild Waves Water Park to the hotel swimming pools and even Easter egg hunts, there is a slice of fun for each member of the family.
1. Easter Kids Disco Bash on Saturday, 19 April 2025
The Easter weekend will thrill younger guests with an Easter Kids Disco Bash on Saturday, 19 April 2025. It will be a fun-filled afternoon of games, music, dancing and awesome prizes.
It will take place from 15h00 to 18h00 at Squawkers Cove. It will be open to children 12 and under. Entry is free but there’s limited space so first come, first served.
2. Easter Egg Hunt on Sunday, 20 April 2025
A whopping 2 500 Easter eggs will be hidden around the resort for the great hunt on Sunday. It’s for children in the same age group as the disco, so hopefully they will still have energy after their Saturday party!
The hunt is from 12h00 to 13h00 so let them sleep late. There will be six Golden Eggs and anyone lucky enough to find one of those will win a share of R1 500 in Magic Company vouchers.
