STARGAZE FROM THE COMFORT OF YOUR OWN BED AT THIS NAMIB DESERT LODGE


A STAY MAY LEAVE YOU FEELING A BIT STARSTRUCK.

Light pollution has killed stargazing for most city folk. A bright metropolis
skyline may be beautiful, but it certainly isn’t doing the likes of Orion any
favors, either. As a result, travelers have long absconded to more tranquil
vistas for stargazing. One such getaway is the remote Namib Desert, where the
African sky still shimmers with lights (not of the electric variety).

Nestled in the heart of the Namib is the AndBeyond Sossusvlei Desert Lodge,
where you can catch some of the planet’s most spectacular celestial views
directly from your bed, via skylight. In addition, all suites feature a
glass-fronted design, as well as glass-encased rain showers, for further
unspoiled views of the desert and the sky above. “The suites are essentially a
glass box, with a beautiful stone wall in the back,” Jason King, regional
director of AndBeyond South Africa, tells Robb Report. “We kept it very simple,
but it really maximizes the view.” 

For those with a stronger affinity for the astronomical, the lodge’s observatory
gives an even more in-depth look at what lies above. It’s a fully equipped
vantage point—resident astronomer and all—that’s ideal for observing Saturn, the
Southern Cross and the like. And it’s a certifiably excellent place for such an
observatory, as the lodge sits on Africa’s first International Dark Sky Reserve,
a protected area where the skies are (obviously) very, very dark. “The lodge is
backed up against a mountain, looking out straight over the Namib,” adds King,.
“So we have great views over the plains and into the desert itself.”

But don’t hop a plane just yet. Sossusvlei is closed for a refresh, but will
open its doors (and skylights) once again come October. Fair warning: Dozing off
beneath these vistas may leave city slickers feeling a bit starstruck.
