Barkhan Dune Retreat sits north of Solitaire on the edge of the dune sea, and it is one of the few places on the Sossusvlei approach where the dunes are the view from the room rather than something you drive to. The building is deliberately low and pared back, which in this landscape is the right instinct. It is a longer run to Sesriem gate than the lodges immediately around it, so it suits travellers who want the desert itself rather than the earliest possible start at Deadvlei.
