Rooms
Ten unusual stone and glass suites are lined up along a winding steep slope. Each of the secluded suites is enriched by an individual view thanks to the meandering arrangement. Inside, guests can expect an extremely stylish, elegant and modern interior made from natural materials such as linen, raffia and wood. Elements of stone, glass and steel create a contrasting overall picture. The panoramic windows offer a marvellous view of Namibia's hilly dune landscape. In the dark, the breathtaking starry sky of this region can be viewed from the bed through a retractable skylight. A fireplace in the living area, a pool on the veranda and a 180-degree view of the desert round off this heavenly accommodation.
Culinary
Simple and pompous in one - this creation is the work of an artistic designer. In this ambience, harmonised down to the smallest detail, you can spend wonderful hours in convivial company. Surrounded by boundless beauty as far as the eye can see, guests will find it difficult to concentrate on the food. The interior is in constant competition with the landscape, which is only separated from the dining room by a glazed panoramic wall. The culinary delights are the icing on the cake at andBeyond Sossusvlei Desert Lodge. In addition, the hotel's wine cellar invites guests to savour delicious wine tastings
Activities
Guests can pamper themselves in the wellness area of the andBeyond Sossusvlei Desert Lodge with professional massages and body treatments as well as a spa bath. And those who want to stay active will also get their money's worth here: also equipped with panoramic windows, training sessions in the fitness room with the lodge's characteristic view are an unforgettable experience. In addition to wildlife and bird watching, the daily programme includes guided hikes to the rock paintings and Namibia's famous sand dunes. This is complemented by quad bike and off-road vehicle tours as well as a balloon flight over the desert landscape and the Sesriem Canyon. But that's not all: e-bikes are also available for adventurous exploration tours through the nature reserve. Those who want to fly high can look forward to a helicopter flight and get a bird's eye view of the impressive natural surroundings.
Location
This wonderful gem is located in central-western Namibia in the Namib Rand Nature Reserve, the largest nature reserve in the country. Surrounded by the Nubib Mountains, the endless expanses of the Namib Desert stretch out here. The lodge can be reached from the airports in Windhoek or Swakopmund within a drive of several hours. The journey to the private airstrip, which is just a few minutes away from the lodge, is more comfortable. Look forward to an unspoilt wilderness with a flora of sand dunes, mountains and limestone plains as well as a diverse fauna with zebras, springboks, leopards, snakes, giraffes and much more.
