Ai-Ais Hot Springs
After a hot, dusty day exploring the desert, nothing beats relaxing in the Ai-Ais therapeutic hot springs. Their name means burning water and their thermal properties, said to be excellent for rheumatism, are particularly sought after in the winter months. It’s a rather awesome feeling sitting in the springs while you allow nature to treat you to some healing and feast your eyes on the scenic wonderland around you. The resort also offers outdoor and indoor pools of varying temperature.

Seaside Hotel and Spa
Located along the Atlantic in Swakopmund, this spa is literally on the edge of the ocean, giving guests a beautiful view of one of Namibia’s most scenic beaches. After taking your pick of the treatments at the spa, a long stroll on the beach to catch the amazing Swakopmund sunsets will add to the experience. The spa boasts world-class treatments and facilities that include a steam room, Jacuzzis, a sauna and pools overlooking the ocean. Seaside Hotel and Spa is the go-to spa for anyone with a longing for picturesque sea-views accompanied by some top notch spa treatment.

Nomad African Spa
Nomad African Spa offers not only a healing environment through its treatments, but offers marginalized workers an opportunity to learn and start a career in wellness through its Nomad Spa Academy. An internationally-recognised spa that won the award for Africa’s Best Day Spa at the World Spa Awards in 2015 and 2017, this is one of the few spas in Namibia that incorporates African spa techniques. But the most impressive feature of the spa is that it employs mostly visually impaired Namibians, creating employment for the otherwise marginalized group.

This is by far the best way to enjoy the Namib Desert in one of the most exclusive lodges in Namibia. Dubbed the ‘desert castle’, the lodge is situated 21 kilometers from the Sesriem gate, and is ideally-located to visit the famous Sossusvlei.
