Intro
An exclusive villa in the heart of the reserve, Plains Camp is the perfect getaway for families and friends seeking uncompromising privacy and solitude. The villa’s open-plan design, in canvas and timber, allows uninterrupted views of the endless plains of the NamibRand.
Architecture
This totally unique and beautiful structure is built from timber and canvas, creating a home that blends effortlessly into the surrounding desert plains, with a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor spaces. The canvas “walls” can be opened completely to let the desert in, or closed if you’d rather feel a little more contained on chilly winter nights. The villa makes full use of the endless space — 2 bedrooms (4 in total) stretch out on each side of the main areas and pool, linked by decking and seating areas that provide space to relax and contemplate.
