Construction of a new luxury hotel development, The Admiral, has officially commenced along The Esplanade in Walvis Bay, marking a further expansion of Namibia’s high-end coastal hospitality offering.
The 24-room hotel, which forms part of the Gondwana Collection Namibia portfolio, is scheduled to open in December 2027 and is expected to strengthen the group’s presence along the coast.
Located overlooking the Flamingo Lagoon and the Atlantic Ocean, the development is positioned within close proximity to the harbour, Walvis Bay International Airport and key tourism attractions, including Sandwich Harbour.
The project has been designed by Namibian architect Conrad Scheffer, with a concept inspired by the lines and design of luxury yachts.
The building will incorporate a wind-adaptive façade suited to coastal conditions, while maximising ocean-facing views.
The hotel will comprise 24 suites, including three penthouse units.
Standard suites will offer approximately 80 square metres of space, while penthouses will extend to 110 square metres, all designed to provide uninterrupted views of the ocean and lagoon.
Each unit will be equipped with smart room technology, allowing guests to control lighting, climate and entertainment systems.
The suites will include a bedroom, lounge or office area, sun lounge, kitchenette and modern bathroom.
In addition to accommodation, the development will include three multimedia meeting rooms overlooking the ocean, a swimming pool and a guest lounge designed to cater to both leisure and business travellers.
The project is being developed across three consolidated properties, including two located along the Walvis Bay lagoon.
