19. Wolwedans Dunes Lodge, Namibia
Ranked #19 in our countdown of the 100 Best Hotels and Resorts in the World.
In the remote desert landscape of the sprawling NamibRand Nature Reserve is this eco-savvy lodge – rustic chalets on raised wooden floors with canvas walls, canopied beds, ensuites, tribal rugs and desert vistas that go on forever.
There’s a swimming pool and a resident massage therapist – bliss after bouncing over those desert roads. A team of safari guides help guests trace the footsteps of the Bushmen who have been traversing the desert for centuries.
Take a scenic flight, go hot-air ballooning or picnic beneath camel-thorn trees. Gourmet bush cuisine is served by the soft glow of candlelight and the echoing stillness of the night. Remote and remarkable.
Size Nine chalets
