andBeyond Sossusvlei Desert Lodge emerges from the craggy landscape of the Namib Desert, a spectacular masterpiece of glass, rock and steel pavilions with a bold geometric structure at the core. The guest area features floor to ceiling frameless glass panels that fold away to reveal unobstructed desert vistas. The interactive kitchen design allow for guests to create their own dishes and menu. A range of singular interior and exterior dining spaces ensures guests never dine in the same place twice, and a fine selection of wines from an impressive walk-in wine cellar complements sublime meals. Ten exquisite suites offer the sophistication of simplicity, reflecting chic desert-inspired minimalism, and the two-bedroomed Star Dune Suite is ideal for families or groups of friends, who prefer more privacy.
The gym is elevated and ideally positioned to catch the desert sunrise, while a wellness centre offers treatment rooms and a private spa-bath, boasting its own skylight for early-evening stargazing. Guests are also invited to celebrate the magnificent skies with a resident astronomer at the on-site world-class observatory.
Desert adventures abound. Options include a Sossusvlei Excursion and a visit to Deadvlei, as well as exploring the secrets of the dunes on foot and quad bike on the Desert Spirit Experience. Discover the ancient San Bushmen era on the Desert People Experience and the area’s fascinating geology on the Desert Rock Experience. Sip sundowners on a Desert Drive, strap on your boots for the Big Dune Walk, go stargazing, take a scenic flight in a helicopter or hot air balloon, or enjoy hiking and E-biking.
