A desertscape of sand, solitude and stars

Set deep in the Namib Desert, &Beyond Sossusvlei Desert Lodge rests within 12,715 hectares (31,419 acres) of private reserve. Here, silence isn’t emptiness. It’s presence. Perspective. It’s the rare privilege of being alone with nature, and with yourself. Whether you venture into the dunes or simply rest, every moment is entirely your own.

Sculpted from stone, glass and light, the lodge disappears into its surroundings. Ten suites, and one family Star Dune Suite, open onto the ever-changing desert palette, with skylights for stargazing, shaded verandas, and private plunge pools for cooling off between explorations. Guest areas flow seamlessly into the landscape, with fold-away glass walls, a walk-in wine cellar, and a wellness space that catches both sunrise and sunset. Unwind with a treatment. Or step outside and look up—beneath some of the clearest night skies on Earth. This is light-footprint luxury, where sustainability and solitude meet. Come for the dunes. Stay for the stillness. Leave with a stirred soul and a heart made full.
