Zannier Sonop

Zannier Hotels Sonop, in the central desert of Namibia, is a bit like being in a fantasy, or science-fiction movie, or fashion editorial — all three. The decor reads 1920s safari, with Ralph Lauren-level nostalgia and polish, but the location is all Dune. It’s nestled within 14,000 nearly private acres of wilderness framed by Flintstone-like massive granite boulders and dusty distant mountains, a setting that somehow becomes even more surreal at sunset. - Chris Wallace
