Kanaan Desert Retreat – the place where sand meets sky, and conservation meets desert luxury.
The gem of the Naankuse Ecotourism Collection, Kanaan Desert Retreat, is a world unto itself. Imagine stepping into 35,000 hectares of not only iconic Namibian landscapes, but a place where conservation research has been rehabilitating the land since 2014.

Step into our eight luxury tented units, styled to reflect the surrounding landscapes and fulfil the comforts every discerning guest demands. Nestled against the backdrop of the world’s oldest desert, undulating vistas and endless horizons beg to be discovered. And the range of activities offered at Kanaan Desert Retreat allow just that. Sunrise and sunset dune drives, complete with tempting treats, and spectacular photographic safaris reveal the secrets of the desert. Identified as an International Dark Sky Place (IDSP), Kanaan’s night skies are out-of-this-world, a veritable feast for the eye… and camera lens.

Sumptuous meals and fine wines are served in the dining area perched atop a panorama of infinite views. It’s dining with a desert difference.

And lodge-style luxury perfectly complements our motto of “ecotourism supporting conservation”.
But the destination is only a part of the journey. Situated along Namibia’s Dream Road, the D707, reaching our southern reserve is almost as spectacular as Kanaan Desert Retreat itself.
