Wolwedans Dunes Lodge is set on top of the dunes, in the heart of the NamibRand Nature Reserve, south of Sossusvlei. It is a peaceful place defined by the panoramic views in all directions of the dramatic red sand dunes sitting beneath vast open skies.
The design of the main lodge and nine cottages (built in wood and canvas) reflects their natural surroundings.
The main area comprises two lounges, a number of sundowner decks, a fireplace, tea deck, library, wine cellar and two dining rooms. The many verandas look out over superb views, as does the open-air swimming pool.
Building style is a combination of wooden structures and canvas blinds, opening up to the desert beyond. Dunes Lodge reflects the ambience of a tented camp, but provides the comfort and protection of a permanent building. Each of the nine spacious chalets with en-suite bathrooms sports a private veranda, which connects to vast stretches of untouched sand. Sleeping with the canvas blinds open is just like sleeping under the stars.
