About the lodge
An overview of Pelican Point Lodge.
At the tip of the Pelican Point Peninsula, is Pelican Point Lodge, situated on a unique stretch of land. This venue that is surrounded by the untouched beaches of the Atlantic Ocean, and the lagoon of Walvis Bay, is dedicated to provide you with unique experiences.
In the most remote location of Namibia’s Skeleton Coast lies Pelican Point Lodge.
Highlights

- Scheduled boat cruises and watersports.
- An immersive experience in the harmonious blend of nature and luxury.
The Detail
What once functioned as a harbor control building now stands as a beacon of luxurious accommodation. The transformation has resulted in 10 lavish suites, each exuding its distinct character and modern aesthetic. These are not mere rooms but curated experiences in themselves.
Perched on your private deck at Pelican Point Lodge, you become an audience to nature's grand theater. At sunrise, the stage unfolds with performances both majestic and intimate. Watch the seals playfully surf the waves and leisurely bask in the sun.
In the deeper waters, you will see dolphins slicing through the waves, resembling a synchronized dance with each jump, while the mighty whale makes a guest appearance, showcasing its impressive size.
The lodge offers an array of activities, ensuring that every guest finds something tailored to their interests:
- Engage in water sports or take a leisurely stroll on pristine beaches.
- Go for guided nature walks to understand the local flora and fauna.
- Experience the majesty of the marine world with dolphin and whale-watching tours.
