&Beyond Sossusvlei Desert Lodge is a spectacular masterpiece of glass, rock and steel pavilions with a bold geometric structure at the centre. The lodge extends over an ocean of dunes and gravel plains, in perfect harmony with its elemental surrounds. The guest area features floor to ceiling frameless glass panels that fold away to reveal unobstructed desert vistas. The interactive kitchen design allows for guests to create their own dishes and menu should they wish to. A range of singular interior and exterior dining spaces ensures guests never dine in the same place twice.

Creating an ideal family environment, or an ideal option for groups of friends, the Star Dune Suite consists of two suites linked by a covered walkway, with a private lounge and dining space. The combined amenities of this extended accommodation provide the perfect space for one and all to enjoy. For those family groups, &Beyond guides and lodge team will provide a host of fun and interactive children’s activities. All suites include star-viewing skylights, discrete music systems and customised personal bars.
Each air-conditioned glass-fronted suite is designed to complement the expansive views of the different habitats, perfectly framed from the spacious internal areas. Featuring a private veranda, bedroom with retractable skylights for in-bed star-gazing, a living room with a fireplace, an ensuite bathroom with a glass-encased rain shower offering 180º views, and a perfectly-positioned private plunge pool for some sublime respite after a long day in the desert heat. Each suite is like its own solar power plant, producing enough energy to not only power the air conditioning, and all the super-comforts of a luxury lodge, but also the water treatment and recycling systems.

One of the most pristine areas on Earth, the Namib Desert is a world of vast spaces, endless horizons, dramatic landscapes and jagged mountain heights. The NamibRand Nature Reserve, Southern Africa’s largest private nature reserve, consists of 215 000 hectares (530 300 acres) of unspoiled desert wilderness. The spectacular dunes at Sossusvlei, arrayed in magnificent hues of orange, buttermilk, pumpkin and sienna, are part of the Namib Sand Seawhich is the biggest dune field south of the Sahara. Towering over a vast, dry pan, these towering dunes, shaped by sands millions of years old, are among the highest in the world. Known as the Living Desert, the dunes of the Namib abound with specially adapted wildlife and over 114bird species. A landscape of seemingly endless spaces, profound tranquillity, and extraordinary light, make this one of Africa’s most compelling natural regions.
