Overview & Location

The hot sun beats down on the lonely lodge in the fascinating expanse of the Namib, the solar cells on the shady roofs of the car park are working at full speed. You get out, the white gravel crunches under your shoes, a warm smile welcomes you. A cool face towel and a cold pink slushy welcome you to The Desert Grace.

Opened in 2018, this is the first of Gondwana Collection Namibia's sustainably operated lodges to be entirely constructed using sandbags instead of bricks. This environmentally-friendly approach makes the twenty-four rooms on the lodge very well insulated and therefore cooler.

The reception welcomes you with timeless elegance in beige tones and some tasteful pale pink accents. This stylish look accompanies you through the restaurant, the bar and into your spacious chalet. The minibar has that perfect gin and tonic waiting, your private plunge pool is just a sliding door away.

The Desert Grace is located 30 kilometres south of Solitaire and 60 kilometres north of Sesriem, the gateway to the world’s highest dunes at Sossusvlei and the iconic Deadvlei. Back at the lodge, nature drives bring you closer to timeless desert, and an exciting night walk brings hidden treasures to life. The Desert Grace offers a unique experience you should not miss.
