Perched on the wild Skeleton Coast, Shipwreck Lodge offers ten uniquely designed cabins shaped like shipwrecks, scattered across the dunes with sweeping views of the ocean and desert. Guests can explore this remote coastline, where desert-adapted wildlife roams and shipwrecks dot the shore, before returning to fireside dining and cosy cabins.
Set where the desert meets the Atlantic, Shipwreck Lodge is surrounded by shifting dunes, seal colonies, and the haunting remains of wrecked ships, offering an adventure found nowhere else.
Shipwreck Lodge sits in the Skeleton Coast National Park, one of Africa’s most remote and dramatic wilderness areas. The lodge is the only property inside this section of the park, making it a rare base to experience both the stark beauty of the Atlantic coastline and the inland desert landscapes. From here, guests can explore a region famous for its shipwrecks, wildlife, and sense of solitude.

The lodge has ten cabins, each designed to resemble the wrecks that line this coastline. Built with large windows to capture the endless views, the cabins include en suite bathrooms, wood-burning stoves, and comfortable beds dressed with thick blankets to keep warm on cool nights. The design is simple yet striking, and every cabin looks out onto the dunes or the ocean.

Activities focus on exploring the Skeleton Coast and its wildlife. Guests can drive along the coast to discover seal colonies and historic wrecks, venture inland to find desert-adapted elephants and lions, or enjoy scenic drives through the dunes. Quad biking and dune walks are available for those seeking a closer connection with the landscape. Evenings are for sundowners on the dunes and relaxed dinners around the fire, with the Atlantic waves in the distance.
