About this stay

Scheduled to open in December 2027

The Admiral, Gondwana Collection Namibia’s newest coastal hotel in Walvis Bay, is set to open at the end of 2027. Perfectly positioned on the iconic Flamingo Lagoon, this 21-suite oceanfront property is designed with the modern leisure and business traveller in mind.

Guests can look forward to smart, elegantly appointed rooms with uninterrupted lagoon views featuring innovative bathrooms, kitchenettes, and private enclosed sun terraces. Three exclusive luxury penthouses elevate the offering with generous space and premium finishes.

The Admiral’s wind-smart, contemporary architecture ensures comfort throughout the year, complemented by robust security and controlled access for peace of mind. On-site facilities include a full gym with a steam room, a refreshing pool, a stylish bar and whiskey lounge, and three fully equipped meeting rooms.

Ideally located in the vibrant activity hub of Walvis Bay, the hotel offers immediate access to the international airport and harbour, as well as a variety of coastal adventures – from catamaran cruises and scenic flights to desert excursions and the wonders of Sandwich Harbour and Donkey Bay.

The Admiral promises a seamless blend of style, functionality and coastal inspiration – the perfect base for work, connection and exploration on Namibia’s Atlantic shore.
