Overlooking the Atlantic Ocean in all her moody grandeur, The Strand Hotel remains the most luxurious address on this stretch of the Namibian coast.
Occupying most of the historic Mole — the breakwater responsible for Swakopmund’s famously calm bay — the Strand Hotel is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean on three sides and the Namib Desert on the fourth. It doesn’t get more “coastal escape” than this. A social hub for locals and travellers alike, the hotel’s sea-facing terraces, lively restaurants and elegant lobby-lounge give it that irresistible mix of buzz and comfort.
Rooms are spotless, tasteful and come in every shape and size: from Standard and Luxury rooms (some with Romeo & Juliet balconies) to Junior Suites, full Luxury Suites, and one rather glamorous Presidential Suite. Most rooms enjoy panoramic sea views, and all come with the expected modern comforts — WiFi, TV, air-conditioning, stocked mini-bar, tea and coffee facilities, hairdryer, safe and a desk. Room service is on hand, as is the certainty that you will sleep, eat and unwind exceptionally well here.
The Strand takes eating seriously — in all the best ways. Three sea-facing restaurants anchor its culinary offering:
Beyond the restaurants, the hotel also has the Welwitschia Lounge for cocktails and light snacks, and Café Mole for casual beachside bites and take-aways after a stroll along the water.
More than a hotel stay, the Strand is a fully fledged coastal base. On-site you’ll find:
And then, of course, there’s Swakopmund: museums, galleries, cafés, dune tours, marine safaris, kayaking with seals, skydiving, quad biking, ballooning, scenic flights, birding, fishing… the list is long. The hotel’s reception team can arrange it all.
