What Desert Dreams Are Made Of
Escape to the Namibian desert wilderness at Sonop, where you’ll have exclusive access to 13 800 hectares of private, untouched natural splendour.
You’ll feel as if you have the desert all to yourself, as you journey back in time to follow in the footsteps of explorers of the past…
Bygone Accommodation
The lodge is perched atop awe-inspiring granite boulders, and designed in quintessential 1920s British colonial style.
Each of the spacious one- and two-bedroom tented suites boasts incredible views of the surrounding Namib desert, which can be enjoyed from your private terrace or even the vintage bathtub!
The accommodation is inspired by the journey of colonial explorers, and will make you feel like an intrepid adventurer, yourself.
Couples and small families will love the one-bedroom tents, which also include their own lounge areas.
Larger families or groups travelling together will find ample sumptuous comfort in the two-bedroom tents, with their two large, en-suite bedrooms and shared living areas.
Wilderness Explorations
The sprawling desert backdrop provides the perfect setting for a varied mix of once-in-a-lifetime adventures.
Imagine doing yoga in the heart of the desert; going on a walking, horseback, or electric bike expedition through the reserve; and even discovering the magic of it all at night.
The horse riding is a particularly memorable offering. Beginners can enjoy gentle, guided expeditions, while more experienced riders can set off galloping into the desert…
There are telescopes for guests to marvel at the famous Namibian night skies, and even an open-air cinema in the middle of the desert!
Venture a bit further out to the awe-inspiring dunes of Sossusvlei, which offer ample opportunity for 4×4 adventures.
For something truly one-of-a-kind, soak in the magic of it all from a hot air balloon, and land in the middle of the wilderness to enjoy breakfast or dinner in the dunes…
Wellness in the Wild
For those seeking total tranquility and surrender, the Sonop spa offers two double treatment rooms, where guests can enjoy a range of healing and restoring treatments.
In addition to the spectacular setting and experienced therapists, the products are created from local organic ingredients for a truly back-to-nature indulgence.
There’s even a heated outdoor infinity pool with amazing desert views, and a fully-equipped gym for active travellers!
Classic Dining
In bygone safari style, dining at Sonop is enjoyed at the heart of the camp, overlooking the desert. Think hearty breakfast, light sharing dishes, a pool bar, and then – the highlight of it all – gala-style dinners at a large communal table, complete with silverware, candelabras, and all the elegant bells and whistles.
Not yet ready to retire to bed after all the excitement? End your evening in the Cocktail & Cigar Lounge, with its classic billiard table, parlour games, cocktails and exclusive spirits.
