Expect the unexpected when you unravel the mystery of the Skeleton Coast
Located in the famous Skeleton Coast concession between the Hoarusib and Hoanib rivers in the Skeleton Coast National Park, Shipwreck Lodge is only 45 km from Möwe Bay. The shipwreck-shaped cabins are nestled between the dunes with a view of the Atlantic Ocean where the cold Benguela current provides guests with a refreshing breeze.
Their 10 chalets, cleverly designed to resemble shipwrecks, are spread out along the sand dunes. Wake up to spectacular desert views with the sound of waves crashing in the distance and fall asleep to a crackling fire in the stove. Eight cabins come with double or twin beds; two cabins are family units. All cabins have private bathrooms and are equipped with a safe and a wood-burning stove. Each of them has its own deck to enjoy the serene scenery. The design of the lodge was inspired by the many ships that have been wrecked on the Skeleton Coast.
The lounge, restaurant and dining area are the heart of the lodge. It is a cosy and welcoming environment that also offers an opportunity to interact with staff who keep the ship sailing. Enjoy morning coffee or an evening sundowner on the outdoor deck, or retreat to the inside and marvel at the starkly beautiful landscape.
Their exclusive clients can look forward to appreciating the harshness of the desert and the beauty of these solitary landscapes filled with geological history. Learn about the fauna and flora adapted to survive in these harsh conditions – all from the comfort of the restaurant deck.
Due to the Benguela Current and the Atlantic Ocean, the Skeleton Coast is known to offer misty and foggy weather pattern. With the mist and the fog setting the mood for the skeleton coast, it also means that some activities are weather depended. Sundowner drives, beach lunches, excursion to Möwe Bay and the Seal Colony, excursion of the Hoarusib River, guided beach walks, quad biking and sandboarding
