Sossusvlei Desert Lodge

Top choice in Namibia


This stunning place frequently appears in Condé Nast as one of the top lodges in the world, and we're inclined to agree. The property contains 10 chalets, which are constructed from locally quarried stone and appear to blend effortlessly into the surrounding landscape. The interiors showcase contemporary flair with lovely earth tones, and feature personal fireplaces, marble baths and linen-covered patios.

As always with &Beyond properties, exemplary service is a feature. Of special interest is the on-site observatory, which boasts a high-powered telescope and local star charts.
