Surf World-Famous Skeleton Bay in Namibia in Luxury!

Nestled on the secluded Pelican Point peninsula in Walvis Bay, Pelican Point Lodge offers a truly remarkable destination for creating unforgettable memories.

Surrounded by untouched Atlantic Ocean beaches with their world-renowned waves on one side and the serene Walvis Bay Lagoon on the other, the hotel aims to provide its guests with a one-of-a-kind experience. Unwind, and immerse yourself in the enchanting beauty of one of Africa’s most captivating settings.

The Lodge

Pelican Point Lodge is an extraordinary destination, nestled in the remote and captivating landscape of Namibia’s Skeleton Coast. Once a harbour control building, it has been transformed into an elegant boutique hotel, featuring 10 individually decorated suites. Among them is the remarkable Captain’s Cove, a spacious penthouse suite offering breathtaking 360-degree views of the Pelican Point Peninsula.

The Lounge and dining area offer spectacular views whilst dining. Best views over the bay and desert dunes are best enjoyed from the spacious deck which is also the perfect place to watch amazing sunsets.

Waves at Pelican Point Lodge

Onto the sand spit that protects Walvis Bay and leads to Pelican Point and the lighthouse, you will find the world-famous Skeleton Bay. Aka Donkey Bay, this wave has gained international recognition as one of the best waves in the world by professional surfers. With the potential for 2km of picture-perfect draining barrels in ankle-deep water, this wave is heavy, fast and possibly the best and longest barrel you will ever witness.

From May to Sept, you can expect consistent 6-10ft SW-W swells with the more westward swells being particularly favourable. There’s also a variety of rocky reefs and points waiting to be discovered along the 40km stretch.

Why We Love Pelican Point Lodge

Uncrowded waves and some of the most epic barrels in the world!

The full-inclusive package on offer is great value, with food, beverage and plenty of activities included!

Immerse yourself in the beauty of nature while enjoying the comfort and tranquillity of your suite. From your private deck, enjoy the spectacle of seals surfing the waves or lazily soaking up the sun, spot the dolphins, and whales, hear the distinctive call of the jackal roaming close by.

I've used Awave twice ... so far. This is the second time I've used Awave for a trip to the maldives. Stayed in 2 different resorts this time. They've always been incredibly prompt at replying and handled everything for us, making sure the 2 Resorts were in touch to get us transfered half way through our trip. At one of the resorts I even bumped into Giulia and Delia who were out there surfing at the time. There's no doubt in my mind that I'll use awave again if I'm booking a surf trip

Indonesia Surf Trip/ Java/Bali/Sumba - James Colston was my representative from AWAVE - I’m an older solo surfer and James was attentive, respectful, extremely responsive from the initial planning stages all the way through the booking. And he was so patient with all my crazy questions along the way. I couldn’t have been more pleased with James’s level of service. Thank you James

Giulia was an amazing person to book with. I was overwhelmed with choices initially, but AWAVE knew their stuff and helped me with my options and even suggested delaying my trip so I could go to a certain hotel which ended up being the best decision I made all year.

Giulia and James were always on line to answer any question or to give an advice. The Ayada resort is perfect both for families or for couples. We did not have waves as the season goes from April to September, but there are plenty options to have fun and good times. Highly recommended both Awave and Ayada.

The AWAVE team are knowledgable and helpful. Giulia is a very helpful and patient person to deal with, and do not worry, you can trust her. I had to delay my trip to Morocco due to unforeseen circumstances and Giulia was very understanding. I have just returned from having a fantastic week at Amouage in Taghazout. Thanks AWAVE!

Awesome holiday to Hudhuranfushi. Giulia was very helpful and quick to respond and overall we were very impressed with Awave Travel.
Lohi's is a private, on site, awesome left hander that just kept giving. Also had options of 2 daily surf boat trips that went to other local breaks such as Sultans, Ninja's, Cokes, Jails. The surf team are amazing and we scored great waves the whole time we were there.
Stayed in a Sunset family beach villa which was perfect for a family of 4, then upgraded for the last 3 nights to Ocean Villas, both great for different reasons!
Island staff are so helpful and welcoming, and there's a good variety of food options available. Lots of other things to do such as paddleboarding, jet ski-ing, spa treatments, yoga and amazing snorkelling - with sharks, turtles and rays! We also hired bikes to get around and do morning surf checks!
An amazing trip, thank you Awave and Hudhuranfushi!

We had an amazing time on the Mentawai islands booked through Awave Travel.
Giulia was very helpful and available at all times during the booking process. And we had the best time on the Mentawais on the Maki Boat. The staff were amazing. Raul the surf guide was very helpful, friendly and coached us on the waves. Kaique the photographer produced top quality pictures and videos from the water, boat and drone.
Overall very happy and would highly recommend it.

We charted Seafarer for a 10 day trip in the Maldives. We booked with AWAVE about 12 months before. James was super helpful, really responsive and just easy to deal with. We even made a very last minute change to go to the central atolls which he arranged pretty much straight away. The trip itself was unreal, great surf, amazing wildlife and scenery. If you’re thinking about a surf charter, do it and book through these guys!
