Our Yellow Zebra Opinion
-
Comfort with character
While larger hotels are not our preference, the Strand in Swakopmund is a very good one. It also has an excellent location, sitting on a spit of land with the Atlantic Ocean on three sides.
Activities
Once you have settled in and feel ready to check out Swakopmund and its surrounds, you need only head to the Strand’s Activities & Adventures Office. This is staffed by professional travel consultants, keen to ensure you get the most out of your stay!
Swakopmund sightseeing

Cycling, golf, riding, quad bikes and flights
-
From museums to moon landscape tours, there is something for everyone here. You could start with some Swakopmund sightseeing, then perhaps take part in a historical or cultural tour.
There is also great sightseeing available in Walvis Bay, just over 40 kilometers south of Swakopmund and well worth a visit.
Day trips and night walks are available in the Namib Desert, and you could head to the snake park too!
Travelers who like getting out on to the ocean will be keen to experience fishing excursions, catamaran dolphin tours, and trips to the Cape Cross seal colony. The National Marine Aquarium may be of interest as well.
With cycling, golf, horse riding, camel riding, quad biking, and scenic flights also on the menu, you will not run out of things to do!

A grand entrance into the hotel awaits, as you come through its spacious end-to-end atrium, enjoying ocean views all the way to the lobby.
Three restaurants
Terrace
Spa
Gym
Naturally, the other communal areas also make the most of the sea setting. The lounge adjacent to the lobby is named Welwitschia – here, you can take a comfy seat next to the fireplace or on the terrace, treating yourself to tea, coffee, a cocktail, and any number of hot and cold snacks from early in the morning until late at night. Another informal location for food and drink is the beach kiosk, Café Mole, offering a soda fountain and some great takeaway. For more formal dining, the Strand has three restaurants. Brewer & Butcher’s specialty is German and Namibian meat dishes, washed down with plenty of beer from the micro-brewery, which you can enjoy in the beer garden! Farmhouse Deli is a delightful delicatessen, with additional bakery, patisserie, fromagerie, charcuterie, and coffee house too. If seafood is more to your liking, you will love Ocean Cellar, with its sushi and sashimi kitchen!
The hotel’s Atlantic Spa provides a fabulous range of treatments, while the gym includes all sorts of endurance equipment. Visitors here on business benefit from a self-contained conference center that has a private garden.
