Strand Hotel Swakopmund

The Strand sits on Swakopmund's historic Mole, the Atlantic pressing in on three sides and the Namib Desert holding the fourth. Its 125 en-suite rooms range from standard doubles to junior and luxury suites, with most looking out to sea and a number opening onto their own balconies. Dining is a considered affair across three sea-facing restaurants: Ocean Cellar for Namibian oysters, abalone and sushi turned out at a show…The Strand sits on Swakopmund's historic Mole, the Atlantic pressing in on three sides and the Namib Desert holding the fourth. Its 125 en-suite rooms range from standard doubles to junior and luxury suites, with most looking out to sea and a number opening onto their own balconies. Dining is a considered affair across three sea-facing restaurants: Ocean Cellar for Namibian oysters, abalone and sushi turned out at a show kitchen, Brewer & Butcher for craft beer alongside German and Namibian plates, and the Farmhouse Deli for breakfast, hearty meals and cakes with coffee. The Welwitschia Lounge pours cocktails against the horizon, while Café Mole keeps things casual beside the beach. The Atlantic Spa offers crystal steam rooms, rain showers and a garden terrace with an outdoor couple's suite, and a gym occupies the second floor. Reception will arrange desert tours, catamaran outings to see dolphins and seals, fishing, ballooning and scenic flights for those inclined to venture out. Walvis Bay International Airport lies about 40 minutes' drive away.
