Le Mirage Desert Lodge & Spa

Le Mirage Desert Lodge & Spa rises amid Namibia’s red sands. At first sight, the faux castle appears to be a mirage; but, as you near, the looming stone structure dotted with palm trees transforms into an oasis. 

Mystique Spa lies at its centre, surrounded by thick walls and overlooked by balconies. Immerse yourself in one of the aroma baths, or surrender to the healing hands of therapists, ready to massage the troubled aches from your soul. With five different treatment rooms and an array of treatments, guests will leave relaxed and rejuvenated. If you can bring yourself to leave the lodge, the desert invites activities such as quad biking, nature drives, hot air ballooning and a visit to some of the world’s highest dunes.

The Luxury Rooms come complete with soft canopy beds, an open bathroom with a walk-in shower and double sink, private balcony and air conditioning. The restaurant, with its exposed wooden ceiling rafters and bare-stone walls, serves elegant international cuisine paired with wine from the cellar. Further relaxation awaits in the lounge and at the pool bar.
