Xugana Island Lodge (Okavango Delta)

THE LODGE

Xugana Island Lodge is set in the heart of the Okavango Delta’s most breathtaking permanent water site. Weave through the channels and winding waterways by motorboat before reaching the spectacular Xugana Lagoon—a vast, lily-dotted expanse framed by papyrus reeds.

Here, primely positioned on a private concession, the lodge immediately impresses with its Overwater Fire-Deck, extending from the main lodge onto the lagoon. As one of the first-ever delta lodges, Xugana Island Lodge has long been defined by its deep connection to the environment, exceptional service, and true tranquillity.

Following a stunning recent rebuild, these values remain unwavering, reflected in a design that echoes the splendour of this incredible ecosystem now more than ever.

The lagoon and its wildlife are central, and views are on full display from the pool and bar to the multi-level dining, lounge and viewing decks that comprise the main areas. En-suite Luxury Tents and a two-bedroom Luxury Family Tent line the island’s edge.

Each tent draws inspiration from the lagoon’s blue hues and natural textiles, and views are both expansive and immersive, thanks to unique enclosed decks that create an indoor-outdoor experience.

Xugana Island Lodge has begun its next chapter, continuing its revered legacy with new style and old soul—in a league entirely of its own.

ACCOMMODATION

The lodge’s true symbiosis with its surroundings not only delivers a standout design but absolute tranquillity. All tents are generously spaced and are set within the island’s lush greenery.
