Terrace Bay Resort

Terrace Bay Resort offers an exceptional coastal experience within the Skeleton Coast Park in Northwest Namibia. This direct-booking site property is set in an undisturbed and peaceful spot on the coast, surrounded by the majestic dunes of the northern Namib Desert. The resort operates entirely on generator power, which is available in the mornings until after breakfast and then again from late afternoon. This operational schedule is a reminder of the resort's remote setting. The resort aims to protect the environment and enhance the wilderness experience by limiting the number of guests at any given time. A restaurant, bar, and a kiosk are available on site. There is also a limited supply of petrol and diesel available. A fishing licence from the Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources must be obtained before entering the park.

Accommodation at Terrace Bay Resort consists of a combination of double rooms and beach chalets. The double rooms line the front of the resort, providing a beachfront outlook towards the Atlantic. These rooms include an en-suite bathroom, towels, and bedding, with duvets provided for cooler, windy nights. For those seeking self-catering options, beach chalets are available. These chalets are equipped with a hob, fridge, crockery, and cooking utensils. An outdoor braai area is also part of the chalet amenities, subject to coastal wind conditions. Guests staying in the chalets have full access to the resort's restaurant and bar.

The resort's restaurant serves breakfast, which is included for guests staying in the double rooms. Evening meals are also served in the restaurant. Lunch is available by prior arrangement, so guests should inform reception in advance if they require it. The on-site bar provides a gathering point, particularly in the evenings. For any additional needs, a small shop, or kiosk, stocks basic supplies.

Terrace Bay Resort is located within the famous Skeleton Coast Park, in the Kunene region of Namibia. It sits directly on the Atlantic coast, where the cold Benguela Current influences the marine environment. The resort is surrounded by the dunes of the northern Namib Desert. Key distances from the resort include Windhoek at 648 km, Sossusvlei at 764 km, and Etosha National Park at 451 km. The nearby Uniab River Delta offers opportunities for exploring the area's wildlife.

This resort is ideal for guests seeking an exceptional coastal experience in a remote, undisturbed wilderness setting. It specifically suits those interested in fishing, as the cold Benguela Current offshore supports a diverse fish population including kabeljou, steenbras, galjoen, and surf sharks. Visitors should bring their own fishing gear as no tackle or equipment is available on site. Beyond fishing, the location is suited to individuals or groups who appreciate hiking, bird watching, and game viewing in the Uniab River Delta. Guests looking to witness sunsets from atop the dunes will find this a highlight. The self-catering beach chalets cater to larger groups, such as fishing parties, families, or friends travelling together, who require fully equipped accommodation and access to resort facilities. Due to the limited guest capacity and remote nature, it suits those who are prepared for generator-based power availability.
