Shipwreck Lodge

Contrary to the desolation that surrounds it, this lodge, with its shipwreck-inspired design, offers a refuge of luxury in one of the harshest landscapes on Earth

Shipwreck Lodge is a distinguished member of the Natural Selection portfolio of lodges, a collection recognized for their commitment to conservation and luxury. Natural Selection was conceived by Colin Bell and Chris McIntyre, individuals whose passion for the African wilderness is unparalleled. Their vision for Shipwreck Lodge was to craft an experience that brings guests face-to-face with the raw majesty of the Skeleton Coast while staying committed to the ethos of conservation and sustainability. This collaboration resulted in a destination that not only pampers its visitors but also pays homage to the rugged beauty and history of its surroundings. Through their collective efforts, Shipwreck Lodge stands as a beacon of how tourism and environmental stewardship can coexist harmoniously.

While Shipwreck Lodge provides an exclusive retreat for those seeking solitude in a landscape of stark beauty, it may not cater to everyone’s tastes. Its remoteness might deter those accustomed to urban conveniences. However, for the seasoned traveler looking for a unique experience, this lodge is a treasure trove of memories waiting to be discovered.
