A lovely option in Swakopmund if you want to be located right on the coast. Right from the hotel you can stroll along the promenade path. This is a bigger hotel so doesn't have the family feel of some of the smaller bed and breakfast options in town.

The Strand is uniquely located on the iconic and historic Swakopmund promenade and surrounded on three sides by the Southern Atlantic Ocean. The hotel's 125 Rooms and Suites offer the finest sea views available anywhere in this quaint historic town. The Strand Hotel is an integral part of the town’s historical center and a beachfront entertainment destination in itself hosting both visitors and locals. Its architectural inspiration finds its roots deep in Namibian German history and reflects this in a tasteful contemporary manner.
This hotel is as charming and welcoming as the town it is located in. Simply very warm and comfortable, and as they say in German: “gemutlich” providing a genuine “sense-of-place” atmosphere adding to any Namibian visit. The hotel is home to numerous dining options including the lovely and airy farmhouse deli which provides a delectable breakfast buffet each morning. Enjoy the fine dining experience of the Ocean Cellar with incredibly fresh seafood selections or enjoy the more casual Brewer & Butcher. Plan on an afternoon cocktail from the Welwitschia Lounge with the sea facing terrace.
Swakopmund is a excellent place to see the colonial architecture, or other attractions such as the Swakopmund Museum, the National Marine Aquarium, art galleries and the Swakop River with its swooping sand dunes. Thrilling adventures like skydiving, dune-boarding, hot air balloon rides, beach angling, deep-sea fishing and quad biking are available in the city and nearby areas. Historical sites can be found throughout the city and offer a intriguing glimpse into the area's past.
