The architecture takes on the ancient sensibilities of
African rondavel design of centuries past that allow for aeration in
a hot climate, fused with Moroccan palatial designs. Upon entering
the buildings, an air of refreshment hits you, foyer gardens, the
wide imposing corridors and supporting pillars add to the allure of
this desert castle’s mystic. At the accommodation quarters the blue
pool and grass courtyard is a welcome sight, a bathing oasis
necessary to expiate your entire world’s cares and worries.
This
is truly the life to live!
In a setting that is a harmonious
blend of luxury and nature, the accommodation in all 27 luxury en
suite rooms makes for an instant impression. It is here where the
intrepid guest can retire, gaze through the beauty of this land at
dawn, be mystified at dusk by the beautiful setting sun and be
enthralled by the starlights that gaze over the desert landscape.
Each room offers a spectacular view of the Namib Desert, a feeling
of privilege and humility.
To complement this pampering, each
dark earthen en suite room has air conditioning, a safe, a mini bar,
and a coffee and tea station. In these abodes, you are in touch with
yourself and being. It is the fulfilment of the indulgence one
deserves.
Le Mirage Lodge and Spa offers the
adventurous traveller, the natural charms of the Namib Desert.
Nothing beats the sheer thrill of quad biking up a dune, negotiating
a rocky path and standing aloft a hillock, purveying the land that
nature has perfected. Quad bike tours are available from the Lodge,
with experienced guides at hand to trek with guests on nature drives
on Le Mirage’s private domain. If quad biking is too risqué a proposition, Le Mirage in conjunction with tour operators organise nature drives to Sossusvlei.
The Sossusvlei can also be gazed upon from a scenic flight or a hot air
balloon. This playground is the ultimate fix for the true
adventurer and the fix begins with the stay at Le Mirage Lodge and
Spa.
