Luxury Holidays At &Beyond Sossusvlei Desert Lodge

Step into a mesmerising, other-worldly landscape in the Namib Desert, where the &Beyond Sossusvlei Desert Lodge sits in the shadow of towering sand dunes surrounded by rugged natural beauty. An enthralling fusion of glass, rock and steel, the lodge's architecture is undeniably sophisticated, a celebration of modern luxury amid one of Namibia's most renowned natural wonders. Twelve beautifully appointed suites offer unparalleled comfort, with one-off design touches including retractable skylights for in-bed stargazing and glass-encased rain showers with 180º views ensuring a stay here will be one to remember. Complemented by spacious interiors with separate living space, an al fresco veranda and your own private plunge pool, the serene suites are the perfect base for unforgettable adventures. An array of exciting activities are on offer in the lodge's private desert reserve and beyond, accompanied by expert, local guides who love nothing more than to introduce the wonders of the land to you - explore the impressive sand dunes on foot or quad bike, ride across the awesome terrain on one of the lodge's e-bikes, learn about the area's history and heritage, and journey to the Namib Naukluft National Park, where the UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Namib Sand Sea, awaits in all its ethereal glory. Scenic helicopter and hot air balloon rides offer a birds-eye view across the magical landscape and a remarkable perspective on the vastness of the untouched terrain. After the excitement of exploring, it's time to relax, perhaps with a therapeutic spa treatment, over a delicious private dinner at your suite, or by gazing up at the carpet of stars above from the lodge's own observatory.
