On June 4, Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin joined contractors in Spotsylvania County to mark a construction milestone at the future $900 million Kalahari Resort, set to open in November 2026. The location is less than 75 miles south of DC and approximately 80 miles south of central Montgomery County, MD.
During the event, Youngkin promoted Virginia as a top destination for business, signed an executive order to accelerate development timelines, and highlighted $100 billion in capital investments secured since he took office.
This will be Kalahari Resorts & Conventions fifth location and will include more than 175,000 square feet of indoor waterpark space, approximately 900 guest suites, and a large convention center. Located off I-95, the resort aims to serve families and visitors from the DC-Maryland-Virginia region and beyond. Drawing inspiration from African themes, Kalahari combines indoor waterpark attractions with full-service accommodations and convention facilities.
