Sossusvlei Desert Lodge: Our View&Beyond Sossusvlei Desert Lodge is a fantastic property that carries the high standards we have come to expect from any &Beyond property. Located a couple of hours drive from the famous Sossusvlei dunes, Sossusvlei Desert Lodge is located outside of the busier Sossusvlei area and is a great choice for people looking for a quieter experience. The lodges main selling point however is that it is home to the countries best Observatory – nights here are absolutely stunning. A recent refurbishment in 2011 has meant this lodge is looking better than ever. &Beyond Sossusvlei Desert Lodge gets a 5 paw rating due to it being one of the two best properties within reach of the dunes. High levels of luxury and a stunning location are reasons enough for the accolade but the observatory here means this lodge has an advantage over its competition at Little Kulala.
