Windhoek Namibia Africa
DesignLuxury

Set on the outskirts of the Namibian capital city of Windhoek, the Olive Exclusive Boutique Hotel combines modern luxury with African highlights for your stay in this city over 1500 meters above sea level. The hotel is built on the site of an old farmhouse and overlooks a hillside of olive trees, an area of quiet still close to the city center.

Talented photographer, Micky Hoyle also helped design the interior of the hotel and his modern African aesthetic can be seen throughout alongside large prints of the gorgeous wilderness. Natural materials were important to the designers, just check out the tree in the restaurant (really!) or the three-ton slabs of white granite. Your room has its own plunge pool as well as all the luxury trimmings you can expect from a top hotel and in the evening you can eat out on the terrace overlooking the olive groves.
