There really is no other accommodation within this section of Namibia’s Skeleton Coast.
Shipwreck Lodge has just ten cabins; eight accommodate two people, the other two cater for four guests.
So, 24 guests is a “full house”!
The cabins evoke the Skeleton Coast’s many shipwrecks.
Generally speaking, intelligent and ethical persons – especially those not on “Rich Lists” – ought avoid the world’s ever-growing number of uber-luxurious, uber-“exclusive” and eye-wateringly expensive “wilderness” lodges/resorts.
Some are environmentally destructive, nauseatingly pretentious, and you do not need to stay in them in order to access the relevant “natural attractions”.
Shipwreck Lodge is a shining exception – one “splurge” that I would recommend, unreservedly.
Yes, the tariff will be “eye watering”, but your experience will be unforgettable; I cannot imagine a rueful guest.
This lodge is actively engaged in considered efforts to protect one of the world’s most awe-inspiring places.
Unless you insist on drinking “elite” Burgundy Pinots and “top” Champagnes, you face no further charges; once you have paid for your excellent accomodation, you will be expertly guided on various “activities”, fed well, and provided with unlimited quantities of decent wines, etc.
Antarctica sees far more 21st century human visitors than does this “corner” of the Namib.
Pelican Yoga’s next series features a very different, but also-interesting and surprising near-coastal location.
