Wolwedans Dunes Lodge

It’s a bit of a journey to get to Dunes Lodge, a luxury hotel perched on a remote desert plateau in southern Namibia — but the effort pays off every night, as you fall asleep under the stars. Guest rooms aren’t rooms, exactly: more like tents with wooden frames and canvas blinds that roll up and down, as open or as closed to the surrounding landscape as you like. Each has a bathroom and a deck, but there’s no air conditioning or electricity. There’s more technology around the main lodge — there’s a wi-fi signal if you’re desperate to Instagram a snapshot from your sunrise balloon ride — and inside are lounge spaces, a library, and an excellent restaurant specializing in organic African cuisine paired with Namibian wines. After a morning safari, take a dip in the beautiful swimming pool, located on an elevated wooden deck that seems to rise up out of the desert landscape like a glimmering mirage.
