Founded in 1988, our mission at Dream Hotels & Resorts is to deliver dynamic and exceptional hospitality solutions in Africa that connect local and global travellers to our communities in a sustainable and relevant manner. Since our inception, we have long been driven by our purpose of making local holidays more accessible and inspiring wanderlust across the most diverse destinations in South Africa. With a growing portfolio of properties, including exclusive membership and ownership opportunities, we have quickly established ourselves as pioneers in hospitality. However, despite our success, we have grown to understand that what we want as a business is to lead with greater compassion and intent. In 2021, we set about redefining our ethos to align with our ambitions of creating a healthy balance between our actions, our communities, and the environment. In doing so, we have also adopted a more purposeful approach to the guest experience, honing our shared vision and mission to reflect this and keep us all moving in the right direction. Here at Dream Hotels & Resorts, we are actively reimagining a brighter future together. As we continue to expand and reimagine extraordinary travel experiences, we will continue to challenge ourselves to lead with purpose and ensure that we act with accountability and local impact.
