Come & Enjoy The Sport of Kings
Our passion for the ‘Sport of Kings’ has transformed Val de Vie Estate into an unrivalled polo destination. It is a fast, exciting game for competing teams and the highly trained ponies. Polo season on the Estate has also become the perfect occasion for residents to dine al fresco on the sidelines. The tradition of tailgating – when cars are parked, boot outwards towards the field – provides the perfect opportunity for picnics with family and friends while enjoying an exhilarating polo match.
All residents are welcome. No tickets required – entry is free of charge.
