This Easter, something irresistibly adorable is buzzing into the spotlight at the Wild Coast Sun — and his name is Bubz.
Meet Bubz The Buzz, the resort’s larger-than-life new mascot, bursting with sunshiny yellow energy and a smile wide enough to rival the Indian Ocean horizon. Cute, loveable, and made for magical moments, Bubz isn’t just a seasonal character — he’s officially chosen the Wild Coast Sun as his forever home.
Born to Shine
Born at Sun International Head Office, Bubz was given a special choice: decide where he wanted to live. After exploring far and wide, he discovered the warmth, laughter and vibrant spirit of the Wild Coast — and knew instantly it was where he belonged.
“This is where I shine,” Bubz says — and shine he will.
With expressive eyes, soft huggable fluff and a personality built for joy, Bubz’s mission is simple: spread happiness and create unforgettable memories for guests of all ages.
Easter Traditions — With an Extra Buzz
For those wondering whether the Easter Bunny has been replaced — don’t worry. Easter remains Easter. There will still be egg hunts, hot cross buns (or should we say… hot cross bubz), and the long weekend magic families treasure year after year.
The beach will once again come alive from Easter Friday throughout the long weekend, packed with classic seaside fun:
-
Limbo challenges
-
Beach soccer
-
Beach volleyball
-
Hula hoop showdowns
-
Tug of war
It’s friendly competition, fresh ocean air, and family laughter rolled into one festive coastal celebration.
Bubz Everywhere, For Everyone
Bubz isn’t just posing for photos. He’ll be everywhere:
-
Welcoming families and holidaymakers
-
Joining children’s activities
-
Making surprise appearances at events and concerts
-
Spreading cheer on the casino floor
-
Engaging with MVGs, day visitors, staff and social media followers
Every wave, every dance, every hug is part of his happiness mission.
