Wake up to the sight of endless sand dunes surrounding you. Then, slowly realize the wooden structures next to you are actual shipwrecks. Notice the signs indicating that you are in a place called Skeleton Coast National Park.
Burning sun, dunes, shipwrecks, and skeletons? Surely, this must be a nightmare. Until you realize you are in one of the most amazing places in Namibia.
It's a top-notch lodge that built luxury suites out of wood to resemble shipwrecks and blend in the environment. This remote wilderness of Namibia's northwestern coast is full of wrecks and whale skeletons on an extensive land area of 146,600 hectares.
The lodge is nestled between the spectacular dunes and the Atlantic Ocean shore. It has ten shipwreck-shaped cabins, eight twin and double cabins, and two family eco-friendly suites running on solar power. Each cabin is equipped with a wood-burning stove and plushy blankets for chilly desert nights. The cabins have wooden decks where you can admire the harsh beauty of the Namibian desert.
Get acquainted with the seal colony in the Möwe Bay on your way to Shipwreck Lodge with one of our guides. You can participate in the quad bike activity and explore the Skeleton Coast National Park dune. Perhaps join an excursion to discover the shipwrecks on the coast or wonder at the Clay Castles when you drive up the Hoarusib River. How about sandboarding? The summer version of snowboarding is a thrilling ride down the epic dunes of the desert.
