This is one of Africa’s most compelling landscapes with its vast spaces, endless horizons and rugged mountain heights that embody utter timelessness and unparalleled clarity of light. The lodge overlooks an expanse of dunes and gravel planes, blending in perfectly with its primeval surrounds. Private and spacious suites provide pure indulgence and boast an outdoor shower and a dramatic skylight over the bed for spectacular star-gazing. The design of the guest area, with enormous frameless fold-away glass panels, allows for expansive desert views. The innovative, interactive kitchen permits guests to create their own dishes, if they wish to do so. For physical well-being, guests can take advantage of a one-of-a-kind gym or luxuriate in a two-part wellness centre with a treatment room and a private spa-bath. The lodge offers incredible opportunities to enjoy the vast open space on an exquisite desert picnic or dune dinner. Desert adventures include quad bike excursions through the dunes, nature drives, star-gazing from the lodge’s observatory with the resident astronomer, guided excursions to Sossusvlei and the Sesriem Canyon and the unique hot air balloon safari and scenic flights over the desert.
