andBeyond Sossusvlei Desert Lodge, Sossusvlei, Namibia
A Luxury Lodge or Hotel in Namibia
Camp Details
Set within 12,715 hectares (31,419 acres) of protected desert, &Beyond Sossusvlei Private Desert Reserve borders the NamibRand Nature Reserve and the Namib-Naukluft National Park, forming part of the Namib Sand Sea – the world’s oldest desert and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Here, ancient dunes soar over 230 m (750 ft), sculpted by centuries of change. As one of the few &Beyond destinations to encourage self-guided exploration, it offers a unique kind of stillness where footprints are rare and silence is abundant. Time moves differently here, and so will you.
Sculpted from stone, glass and light, Sossusvlei Desert Lodge merges seamlessly into its surroundings. Guest areas are thoughtfully integrated into the land, with fold-away glass doors, a walk-in wine cellar, and a wellness space that catches both sunrise and sunset.
