Beach Hotel Swakopmund

Beach Hotel Swakopmund stands on Suedstrand Street, about 50 metres from the Atlantic and an easy walk from the centre. It has a mix of ordinary rooms, family units and self-contained apartments, which makes it a practical pick for families or anyone staying a week rather than a night.

What to expect

The Standard rooms share a balcony and do not face the sea. The Comfort rooms are on the third and fourth floors and each has its own balcony with a sea view, so those are the ones to ask for. Family units have two connecting bedrooms sharing a bathroom. The Luxury Apartments have an open plan kitchen, an en-suite bedroom and a big corner balcony, and they suit longer stays. Breakfast is included.

On the fifth floor there is a roof terrace with a small pool and views over the town, the Swakop River, the dunes and the sea. It is open from early morning until sunset, and under 16s need an adult with them.

Good to know

The ground floor Anchor Point restaurant and bar serves breakfast, then food all day until 9pm, and has a sundowner deck. Its name comes from the anchor points of a 1911 radio mast that are still visible from the deck. The hotel says they held up an 86 metre aerial that was destroyed when war broke out in 1914. Swakopmund had one of the two coastal radio stations of the German colonial period, the other being at Lüderitz (ǃNamiǂNûs). The front desk books activities at no extra charge, with pick-up from the hotel.
