If there’s one date you don’t want to miss on South Africa’s social calendar, it’s the Hollywoodbets Durban July. A heady mix of high fashion, big bets, and even bigger energy, the race-day event draws the country’s style set, celebrities, and social scene heavyweights to Greyville Racecourse each year. But in 2025, it’s not just about what you’re wearing, it’s where you’re watching from.
Enter Sinayo Hospitality, the Black female–owned luxury events brand delivering the most stylish and seamless way to do Durban July this year. Forget long queues and lukewarm prosecco: Sinayo’s premium hospitality suites are curated for race-day indulgence, from plush lounges to panoramic views of the track, and a food and drink experience that rivals Joburg’s top-tier brunches.
Set in the Grandstand Silver Ring, Sinayo’s VIP offering spans over 1,500 square metres of indoor-outdoor luxury. Whether you're there to people-watch, place a bet, or sip Champagne with your inner circle, there’s a suite for every kind of glam guest.
Foal VIP – R3,900 (excl. VAT) The most accessible of the three tiers, this package includes a stylish dining setup, Fork & Bowl buffet and canapés, plus a cash bar.
Mudlark VIP – R6,900 (excl. VAT) Think elevated lounge vibes with a premium open bar, generous buffet, and the option to upgrade with luxury bottle service.
All Out VIP – R8,900 (excl. VAT) From 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., you’ll enjoy all-day gourmet food and drinks, bottle service, and an exclusive lounge decked out in luxury décor.
In collaboration with East Coast Radio (ECR), the Grandstand suite is going all out for 2025. Expect a fully immersive experience hosted by local favourites Somizi Mhlongo, Carol Ofori, J Sbu, and Deon G—plus live performances, a killer soundtrack, and one seriously chic crowd.
The theme? “Marvels of Mzansi”, a vibrant celebration of South African talent, style, and unapologetic flair. If you’re going to dress to impress (and let’s face it, you are), this is the suite that deserves your best lewk.
