This is a story of love at first sight. That of Markus Friesacher for Namibia, its deserts, its inhabitants, flora and fauna. The owner of the Austrian company Gmundner Keramik, the oldest European ceramics company, opened this lodge in 2022 as an autonomous and sustainable local project. Less than an hour from the capital, Windhoek, Gmundner Lodge combines exquisite refinement with unforgettable immersions in wild, unspoiled nature. With a nod to the luxurious safari camps of adventurers from another era, its suites are housed within large tents. Inside, expect teak flooring, Persian rugs, Chesterfield armchairs, four-poster beds wrapped in mosquito nets, and chests of drawers that resemble travel trunks... Bathtubs are found outside, on the terrace, promising sublime relaxation under the gaze of the animals that pass through these 14,800-acres of Kalahari savannah. The lodge, which has a large swimming pool and spa, runs on solar energy and its farm produces vegetables and fruits served in the restaurant. The lodge seamlessly combines social commitments with the preservation of regional culture and traditions through an art project to support the indigenous San people. Gmundner Lodge is also proudly run by locals, whose inherent and diverse knowledge of Namibia makes for a more meaningful cultural exchange with visitors.

A stay in Gôra Kadan, the former retreat of the Imperial Family, Kanin-no-miya, situated in the heart of Hakone National Park, is an invitation to bring your five senses to life by immersing yourself in the ancient Japanese way of life. Listen to the gentle swoosh of a sliding wall made of rice paper, smell the fragrant flower incense, taste the traditional Kaiseki cuisine and feel the touch of silk. This calm retreat is located in an area known for its springs, which are heated by volcanic rocks. The suites have been designed in a minimalist style, and the hotel’s facilities include a swimming pool, a spa, and a beauty salon.
