Hotels Own Introduction

a private desert sanctuary in namibia
Set across 13,800 acres of pristine Namibian wilderness, the lodge rises from a landscape of granite boulders, crafted in elegant 1920s British colonial style. Here, the horizon feels infinite, and each day unfolds in rhythm with the desert’s quiet majesty—from the first light of dawn to the last embers of sunset.

elegant tented suites with sweeping desert views
Our collection of ten tented suites—available in one- or two-bedroom configurations—offers an intimate connection to the desert. Each features a partially open-air bathroom with a vintage freestanding bathtub, and a private terrace that looks out over the endless expanse of sand and sky.

adventures from sunrise to starlight
Whether on horseback, by electric fat bike, or along scenic walking trails, guided excursions invite discovery and awe. Drift above the dunes on a hot air balloon safari, or explore the wilderness on a private sunrise or sunset drive. As night falls, gather for open-air cinema screenings or lose yourself in stargazing beneath the vast African heavens.

wellness in harmony with the desert
Well-being here is shaped by the land itself. The open-air infinity pool seems to merge with the horizon, while the spa, fitness centre, and daily yoga sessions invite deep restoration.

desert dining and timeless rituals
From sunrise breakfasts atop the dunes to five-course gala-style dinners, dining becomes an event in itself—each meal a celebration of flavour, storytelling, and shared adventure under the desert stars.
