Nestled deep in the heart of the world's oldest desert, the Namib, the desert oasis of Sossusvlei Desert Lodge sits in an incredibly beautiful location, surrounded by rising red dunes and rocky outcrops. The Namib Desert's vast arid plains stretch as far as the eye can see, providing the ultimate in tranquility and escapism. The lodge is impeccably designed to take full advantage of its surroundings, with floor-to-ceiling glass allowing you spectacular, unobstructed views of this unique landscape.
The 10 exquisite stone and glass suites are stylish and minimalist, with contemporary African interiors. Bedrooms, which are split-level, feature romantic skylights above the beds, perfect for gazing into an endless star-filled sky, as well as cosy fireplaces and outdoor showers. In the main area, the wraparound veranda allows you to soak up yet more incredible views, whilst the interactive kitchen and walk-in wine cellar provide the finishing touches to this exceptional lodge.
