Where Sand and Sea Meet

An eight-suite coastal house beside a working lighthouse — where the Atlantic meets the desert and time loosens its hold.

The Place

A Threshold, Not a Destination

Pelican Point Lodge sits at the edge of everything — where the cold Atlantic meets the ancient Namib Desert, where a working lighthouse still guides ships through the fog, where time moves differently.

This is not a resort. It's a coastal house with eight suites, each with uninterrupted views of the sea. A place where the rhythm of the tides replaces the rhythm of schedules.

Lighthouse Suite
The Restaurant

The House

Comfort Without Pretense

Eight suites, each designed to frame the view. Warm woods, natural textures, and floor-to-ceiling windows that blur the line between inside and out.

The kitchen serves what the sea provides — fresh oysters, line-caught fish, paired with wines from the Cape. Breakfast on the deck. Sundowners as the lighthouse begins its nightly rotation.

The Journey

Getting Here Is Part of the Experience

The 45-minute escorted drive across the peninsula is your transition. Watch the town recede. Feel the landscape empty out. By the time you arrive, you've already begun to decompress.
