Welcome to The Desert Grace, and the soft touch of elegance in the Namib Desert. 

The ancient desert holds many secrets in its wizened hands. It has aeons of wisdom at its fingertips and, belying its arresting and impressive appearance, is home to delicate blooms and myriad life forms. 

This surprise of life and softness in the desert is mirrored in Gondwana’s new lodge, The Desert Grace, which arrives with the elegance of yesteryear, a modern and spirited character and a refreshingly stylish interior. 

In line with Gondwana’s collection of lodges, The Desert Grace is surprisingly different with a rather large heart – and, an extra touch of grace. 

Inspired by Namibian minerals, the desert, 1950s Palm Springs glamour, minimalism and simplicity, the soft pink of rose quartz and greater flamingos, and the soul of Wes Anderson films, The Desert Grace seamlessly and expertly blends elements of beauty into an exotic travel destination. 

Here, you can savour expansive views of the Namib Desert from the comfort of your bungalow, while lolling in your private plunge-pool or sipping on pink gin in the dining room or lounge. 

Graceful spaces and gracious hospitality imbue the atmosphere at The Desert Grace, with quiet, calm, good taste and a splash of light-heartedness. 

Enjoy the elegance of this Namib Desert oasis, built from desert sand, and punctuated with turquoise pools, modern architecture, and a breath of greenery. 

Ten to twenty million years ago, when humankind was just a dream on the wind, the sands of the Namib Desert were compacted to form a series of fossilised dunes, scenery of epic proportion. The Namib resonates with this deep Earth energy. 

Watching the sun set in one of the most spectacular settings on the planet is a highlight of a stay – or possibly a lifetime event, as is exploring the riches of nearby Sossusvlei, 60km away. 

Treat yourself to this exceptional Namibian experience and introduction to the desert, in style, where thought and heart have been added to mortar, for an experience beyond the norm. 

Like the gentle essence of rose quartz that features throughout the 24-bungalow lodge, conveying compassion, tenderness, healing, peace and nourishment, The Desert Grace balances the exquisite strength of the wide and expansive desert, with pure love.
