Gondwana Unveils Its Most Ambitious Luxury Retreat Yet

Written by Eva-Rakel Johannes | Nov 21, 2025 10:03:09 AM

In July 2026, Gondwana Collection Namibia will open the doors to what promises to be its next visionary and luxurious creation to date: The Luna Collection.

 

Set deep within the vast serenity of the Namib, just off the C27 and 70km south of Sesriem, Luna is not merely a new destination - it is a reimagining of what desert luxury can be. A collection in a class entirely its own, Luna elevates Gondwana’s legacy of hospitality into a realm of soulful stillness, architectural genius and celestial wonder.

Here, in a landscape where ancient camelthorn trees stand like timekeepers and the Namib Sand Sea breathes in slow, golden waves, the desert becomes a grand amphitheatre for moonlight. It is this rare, spiritually awakened space that sets the stage for Gondwana’s most opulent offering yet - an immersive, lunar-guided experience designed to reconnect travellers with themselves and the universe above.

Each standalone unit is conceptualised around the phases of the moon, guiding guests on a journey that waxes with exploration, wanes into introspection, and settles into deep, restorative rest. This is not simply luxury; it is luxury layered with meaning, intention, and cosmic quiet.

Opening with three ultra-exclusive units and two more to follow later in 2026, the Luna Collection offers complete privacy and a wholly inclusive stay. Every suite is a private haven, blending sculptural desert architecture with panoramic views that make the horizon feel infinite.

Inside, guests will find a level of refinement that transcends traditional lodge luxury: curated textures, soothing desert palettes, and spaces crafted to blur the line between indoors and the wild serenity beyond. At Luna, every detail is orchestrated by a dedicated personal concierge team, complete with private host, guide, and chef. Here, travellers set the rhythm, and the experience shapes itself around them.

Meals-fully inclusive alongside premium beverages-are crafted by a personal chef to match each guest’s dietary desires and schedule. Whether enjoyed in the privacy of one’s pod, on a sun-drenched terrace, or beneath the star-struck Namib night sky, dining becomes a moment of theatre and quiet connection. What is certain is that Luna is unlike anything Gondwana has unveiled before. It is a bold leap further into luxury, solitude, and storytelling - an experience shaped not just by place, but by the ancient rhythm of the cosmos itself.
