Pelican Point Lodge

If you are looking for a most unique experience this is THE place! Four wheel drive is required for the drive of many kilometers including through deep sand. The lodge staff is genuinely warm and engaging. The food is unsurpassed . The isolation of sleeping with a balcony door open for fresh sea breeze air and vocal fur seals all night long….absolutely unforgettable. If you are not careful the owner’s dogs will adopt you and you’ll never want to leave. I have been in 63 sovereign countries and never experienced anything like this!

Staying at the Pelican Point Lodge is a once in a lifetime experience (except we hope to return)! Important Note: The hotel is under new ownership as of April or May 2025. Any reviews you read before that time should be disregarded. The new owner (who we got to meet) has big plans to continue to improve the lodge and has already made a lot of upgrades. This is a beautiful, luxury lodge. This amazing, secluded lodge sits at the end of Pelican Point, with the Atlantic Ocean and 1000's of seals on one side and the Walvis Bay Lagoon on the other side. The boutique lodge only has 10 rooms on three levels with the top level being the penthouse with a 360 degree view of the Point. Every design detail reflects understated luxury, perfectly complementing — not competing with — the stark, stunning beauty of Pelican Point. Our stay included breakfast, lunch and dinner. I don't know if that's always the case, but it should be, there's no where else around! And the food was fantastic. Fresh, locally sourced and beautifully prepared and served. A half-day excursion to Sandwich Harbour is an absolute must when staying at Pelican Point Lodge — it’s one of the few places on Earth where the desert meets the sea in such breathtaking fashion. The lodge can recommend their preferred tour company to pick you up and take you to this magical area. Pelican Point Lodge is a place you will never forget — a rare sanctuary where the wild beauty of Namibia truly takes center stage.

One of the best experiences we had in Namibia! We stayed here in April 2025 and we love everything here. Getting to and from the lodge with escorted drive, the secluded location at the end of vast sand bank, beautifully decorated room, comfy bed, great on location experiences, tasty food, and a great services, these are all make our stay very memorable. The location is right on the Pelican point which is very unique, we can see thousands of seals from our room. It's very awesome. On one morning, we went on kayaking which provided by the lodge and these seals play around our kayak, it's the experience we've never experienced any where. Room is very comfortable. Being on the very secluded location like this, the lodge has schedule to turn on/off generator for electricity. We didn't find this uncomfortable during our stay at all. Services also very good even though it's quite far away, we have everything we need when needed. We really appreciate every staff we met at the lodge, Marcus our guide took us on the memorable kayaking with the seals, Trevor the housekeeper keep our room clean and comfortable all the time, Zion and Chef Matthew always serve us great food and service, and Pilades who's part of the great team. We can't thank them enough for making our 2 nights stay very memorable. We highly recommend this place if you're planning a stay in either Swakopmund or Walvis Bay as it add extra experience and memory to the trip there!

Thank you for an amazing stay. Absolutely stunning and very private. Keith, the lodge manager, runs a very tight ship and his staff is extremely nice and helpful. The room, the food, and the surroundings were simply beautiful. Best place to stay to visit Sandwich harbor, one of the most beautiful coastline in the world. A memorable stay! Merci beaucoup!

This accommodation had a wonderful caring staff! Thank you to Tanya, Trevor (housekeeper), servers Santos and Ivan, and important Chef Vissla. The food was outstanding – especially the oysters and lamb shank!!! The lodge is way out on a sand peninsula – very remote. It was quite an experience going to and from the city over a vastness of sand. Every room has an ocean view. Unfortunately, during our stay, my husband was not feeling well – the staff showed its concern by serving special meals; Tanya even took him to a pharmacy and grocery store to buy items for his relief.

Extremely original, far away from all noise ( except for the seals!) , surprising building, excellent food ( the best we had in Namibia ) very attentive and friendly service, proximity of the sandwich Harbour dunes , we would return with pleasure
