Skeleton Coast
Arriving here is like entering another world - the Skeleton Coast is the northern part of the Atlantic coast of Namibia, which stretches southwards from the Angolan border as far as Swakop River. Although the name is sometimes used to describe the entire Namib Desert coast, the indigenous San people of the Namibian interior called the region "The Land God Made in Anger", while Portuguese sailors once referred to it as "The Gates of Hell". Today, the area is famed for its unique coastline with vast breakers rolling in from the South Atlantic to the backdrop of the desert and towering dunes.
The lodge and cabins are one-of-a-kind in the world, resembling the stranded ships that litter the shores and waters of this coastline - giving the coast its name. Broken spars reach for the skies, and the wooden structures appear to be lying in the ever-encroaching sands of the desert. The interiors of both the main lodge and cabins are an exquisite blend of warm woods, hand-crafted furniture, and classic finishing touches by local designers and artists. The focus when creating this wondrous space was elegance and comfort amidst the harsh environment surrounding it. There are a whole array of activities on offer including Sundowner drives, Quad bike dune trips, Introduction to the Skeleton Coast, Hoarusib River excursion, Beach lunch, Beachcombing.

How our Tent Ratings work
These are based on our personal experience of the hotel, camp or lodge and should not be compared against ratings you find elsewhere. We intend to guide you and don’t be put off by a low tent rating as some of our favourites fall into the 2 and 3-tent categories.
It is also important to bear in mind that standards vary from country to country and a 4-tent hotel in South Africa cannot be compared with a 4-tent hotel in another part of the world.
To summarise our grading system, we have considered the following.















High in both quality and luxury of experience, and property must have ‘wowed’ us on many levels.
This is our benchmark for excellent service and experience, location and /or activities.
Good relative value, excellent location and/or experience, and offering an ideal base for exploring the area.
Budget-focused stopover property, sometimes it’s the ideal location on a driving itinerary.
Don’t be put off, these stays are comfortable and a perfect pit stop on a journey where the choices may be limited.
