The 10 best hotels in Swakopmund, Namibia

August 13, 2022 Kaleigh Reichenbach

Namibia's largest coastal town is a huge draw for merrymakers and vacationers from all over the globe. This seaside resort showcases its German origins in its European-style colonial architecture, creating a jarring juxtaposition against the landscape of the Namib desert. Sandboard or motorbike the dunes, dine and imbibe in a picturesque restaurant on the waterfront, or just marvel at the unusual birds and plants that populate the region.

Strand Hotel Swakopmund

With its extensive, unique and creatively entertaining restaurants, bars, deli, lobby-lounge, sea facing terraces and beach kiosk, set on this historic and iconic site, the Strand Hotel Swakopmund is a destination in itself for all visitors to and residents of Swakopmund. Its architectural inspiration finds its roots deep in Namibian German history and reflects this in a tasteful contemporary manner. The interiors are residential in nature, and the brief to all designers involved is to create a non-hotel hotel. One as charming and welcoming as the town it is in. Simply very warm and comfortable, and as they say in German: "Gemutlich" with a genuine "sense-of-place". Every aspect of the Strand Hotel Swakopmund is being developed according to international four-star standards. It's very possibly going to be the benchmark against which all hotels/lodges in Namibia will be measured. The Strand Hotel Swakopmund is not simply being built, it is being sculptured.

Charming hotel but avoid the food.

Reviewed By SouthAfricaTraveller

The staff were friendly and helpful and the room was lovely and comfortable. The hotel is in a great position, with shops close by. The food was awful. The fish was not fresh and it was overcooked and tasteless. The game dishes were served with weird tasting sauces and vegetables.

Excellent lodging near the Swakopmund CBD

Reviewed By AzRat

May 2022 - Three night stay prior to our one month self drive. Excellent accommodation in Swakopmund. Great walkable area close to cafes, bars, the beach, and CBD area shops. From the moment we arrived Olly and her team made us feel comfortable and provided great local information. Our room was very comfortable and had all the nice amenities for a short stay. While not truly a huge suite the room was perfectly designed for comfort. The lodging is small and provided vouchers for breakfast at some great local restaurants (we especially enjoyed The Village Cafe). Our first night we dined next door at “Swakopmunds best Italian/pizza restaurant”, Gabriele’s, the following evening at the Tug for seafood (thanx to Olly for the last minute reservations), and then around the corner at Fachwerk Biergarten for a fun evening of beer and Bavarian food. Short walk to several supermarkets to ‘stock up’ for our driving trip. Swakopmund Luxury Suites had the perfect blend of location and super friendly staff that made for a great stay.

Villa Maji

The name ‘Maji’ was chosen because it means ‘water’ in Swahili, Africa’s most precious resource, and reflects the stunning ocean view that the guesthouse has to offer. Overlooking the Serengeti Plains 20 years ago, I had a dream of owning a small hotel in Africa. After managing hotels in Kenya, Arusha & Zanzibar, Tanzania and travelling throughout the African continent from Addis Ababa to Zimbabwe, Ghana, Togo & Morocco in between, I have finally fulfilled that dream in Swakopmund, Namibia. The journey took me from the Indian Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean, because I always longed for the sea. That is why I fell in love with Villa Maji’s location which offers stunning ocean views and hopefully… a little magic. Villa Maji's vision is to share our passion for Africa and exotic adventures throughout the continent with our guests.

Perfect wedding location

Reviewed By Ivo1988

My wife and I have used Villa Maji as our wedding venue. We loved every single bit of it. From the ceremony on the beach, the reception inside to the honeymoon suite. The staff was very friendly and communicative. Would recommend for functions and stay again in the future. The rooms look great and spacious with nice views over the ocean. Sublime!

A little paradise called Jetty

We had the best honeymoon ever. Our unit was a nice spacious one bedroom unit upstairs, with the most spectacular view from our bedroom and living area. A cozy balcony that you can enjoy a nice cup of coffee or a cozy sundowner. We we're privileged to be able to bring our little brown nose Yorkie with us. The owners are so helpfull and kind. We most definitely had the best 5 days in Swakopmund and to put the cherry on top, our stay was amazing. Thank you

They cheated on me

Reviewed By katerynak850

They cheated on me! I made a booking of an ocean view room in the late evening and came with my small son. The receptionist didn’t know how to check the Booking reservation first, then I and my son waited for 45 minutes at midnight from 12 am until 12:45, after that the lady in reception charged me and gave me a key from a room with no ocean view. I asked to change it for the sea view or make an upgrade, but she refused. As a result at 1 am at night I had to go and look for another hotel.
