The Beekman Group is one of South Africa’s leading corporate players in the development and property management leisure sector.

The Beekman Group was established over 40 years ago on the south coast of KwaZulu-Natal by John Beekman and his brother the late Bram Beekman. The company is still run by one of these two original founders – John Beekman.

His son, Wayne Beekman, nephew, Neville Beekman, and daughter Cindy Allan make up the board of managing directors, who oversee 11 executives, nearly 20 managers and over 230 staff at the head office alone. These dedicated role players engage with a further 800+ resort and hotel staff every single day to ensure the Beekman standard is upheld for every resort and hotel guest who even considers checking into the award-winning holiday destinations.
