The Delight is a large bed and breakfast establishment with a big hotel feel, with 55 rooms set around a cleverly landscaped courtyard garden. It has a modern and fun character, with vivid décor and artwork inspired by the Namibian scenery. This is a fine spot for exploring Swakopmund and the wealth of activities on offer, and is within a few minutes’ walk of the main part of the town, with plenty of restaurants to choose from. Service is very personal, and the staff are always happy to help with restaurant bookings and suggestions for activities during your stay.




There are 55 rooms in total, with ten loft-style family rooms on the second floor, and the remaining twin rooms spread between the first and second floors. All are en-suite, with satellite television and Wi-Fi. Décor is very much the same as in the main guest area - refreshingly bright, practical, and funky. The rooms flank a central courtyard, with some facing across the street, which can be busy, or the quieter area at the rear of the hotel.
Breakfast is one of the best in Namibia, complete with fresh oysters and sparkling wine. Combined with the bright, funky decor, your morning begins on a perfect note.
Swakopmund's top restaurants are only a short walk away, but booking a taxi is best if you're heading out for the evening.
Some rooms look out onto the street, which may catch some noise from below, but there are rear-facing rooms for total quiet.
