Desert Lodge is perched on top of a dune plateau, with panoramic views in every direction and the desert stretching out below.

The building style combines wooden structures with canvas blinds that open onto the desert beyond, giving the comfort of a permanent lodge with the feel of a tented camp. New wooden walkways now connect each of the 6 Tented Rooms and 3 Tented Family Rooms to the main area, and every room has been refreshed with natural earth tones, raw textures and handcrafted details.

Each room has an en-suite bathroom, a private verandah looking out over untouched sand, and a Wolwedans Chiller for the hotter months. Rooms now come in King or Twin configurations and Wi-Fi now reaches the main area and every room. Sleep with your canvas blinds open and it's just like sleeping under the stars.

New wooden walkways now connect each of the 6 tented rooms to the main area, which has also been redesigned around a new Silo Bar. Rooms come in King or Twin configurations, and the new daybeds on each deck convert easily into Starbeds for a night under the open sky. Each room keeps its Wolwedans Chiller for the warmer months, and two new guide tents have been added, along with Wi-Fi throughout.
