About Strand Hotel

Since its opening in 2015, the Strand Hotel has been making some serious waves. Situated right on the peninsula in Swakopmund, where the Namib dunes melt into the Atlantic, the hotel's location is hard to beat. And the decor … it’s like a trendy metropolitan hotel combined with a light and breezy seaside ambiance. Did we mention there’s a brewery on site? You’ll find locally crafted beer, effervescent sunsets, a lovely spa and seafood by the boatload at this sparkling Swakopmund gem.

What you'll love

With fabulous views over the famous Mole Beach and the swirling Atlantic beyond, the location couldn't be better.

Insiders tip

If you're staying during peak season, book early for a spot at the spa as they go fast.

Something to think about

The Strand doesn't have its own pool but with the beach steps from the front door, you won't even miss it.

The property

High quality finishes and tasteful interior decorating enhance the experience at this “village” hotel. We say village because you don’t need to leave the hotel to have a variety of different holiday experiences. You can grab an ice cream at Cafe Mole on the promenade, book a table for sushi at Ocean Cellar, enjoy a cocktail on the terrace of the Welwitschia Lounge or get “gesellig” with friends while enjoying the locally crafted beer at the Brewer & Butcher. Feel like you need to really chill? Head to the full-service Atlantic Spa.

The rooms

Take your pick from the standard or luxury rooms and a range of suites. The air-conditioned guest rooms all have a contemporary design, crisp white linen with cosy touches and an en-suite bathroom. Other amenities include complimentary WiFi, a flat-screen TV, tea and coffee station and a well-stocked mini bar. Garden or sea views are available, but we strongly recommend the latter, especially if its the Presidential Suite with its panoramic terrace, a walk-in dressing room and stylish entertainment area.

Activities

Cultural
Boat Cruises
Fishing safari

You may just want to spend the day on the beach, enjoying the sunshine, fresh sea air and nature's swimming pool (the Strand doesn't have one of its own). It's right on your doorstep after all. But if you want to do some exploring, take a relaxed stroll along the promenade and jetty, visit the local museum that has excellent displays of local flora and fauna or venture through town, which has some fine colonial buildings. That said, there are eco and adrenaline activities aplenty. You can book these through the hotel and include the likes of desert tours, ballooning, skydiving, horse riding and more. For marine adventures there are bird watching tours, dolphin and seal tours.
