Description

Coastal Namibia is an increasingly attractive destination for digital nomads, offering a unique blend of stunning landscapes, rich history, and a growing business community. The region, which includes popular towns such as Swakopmund and Walvis Bay, has seen improvements in internet connectivity due to the installation of undersea fiber-optic cables. While average internet speeds can vary, many urban areas now offer download speeds around 22.2 Mbps for mobile and up to 18.4 Mbps for fixed broadband, making it feasible for remote work, especially in well-equipped accommodations. Historically, Coastal Namibia is significant due to its colonial past and indigenous heritage. Swakopmund, founded in the late 19th century as a harbor town for German colonists, features well-preserved architecture reflecting its European influences. The nearby Skeleton Coast is famous for its shipwrecks and stark beauty, adding to the region's allure for explorers and history enthusiasts alike. For outdoor adventure seekers, Coastal Namibia offers a wealth of activities. The stunning dunes of Sossusvlei are perfect for hiking and photography, while the Atlantic Ocean provides opportunities for surfing, kayaking, and fishing. The unique landscapes of the Namib Desert and the rich wildlife of the surrounding national parks make it an ideal playground for nature lovers. The business community along the coast is gradually expanding, with an increase in coworking spaces and entrepreneurial initiatives aimed at supporting remote workers. Local networking events foster collaboration among digital nomads and entrepreneurs alike. In summary, Coastal Namibia combines reliable internet access, a rich historical backdrop, abundant outdoor activities, and a supportive business community—making it an ideal location for digital nomads seeking both productivity and adventure in a breathtaking natural setting.

Hostel

Surfing | Sustainable Living | Extraordinary Food is what we're about. Our cozy surf house is located in Swakopmund, a relaxed town on our wave-rich coastline, buzzing with good coffee and nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and the Namib Desert dunes. For those who enjoy surfing, adventure and vast, natural landscapes - this is the place for you. The airport shuttle is available on request. How do you get there? It depends on where you are coming from. There are a few ways to get here; one of the best way to get to Swakopmund is by road from Windhoek. The B2 is the main road from Windhoek (362 km inland), and takes 4–5 hours by car. Walvis Bay, the closest major city, is 35 km to the south, also next to the B2. The road is paved and in good condition. WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT US 5/5 Excellent stay! Staff friendly and helpful. The facilities are clean and comfortable. The location was accessible and convenient.
