Zannier Omaanda- Crafting a Sanctuary of Sleep in Namibia’ s Wild Heart

- HYPNOS-
Nestled in the heart of a 9,000-hectare private animal reserve just outside Windhoek, Namibia, Zannier Omaanda embodies a seamless blend of authenticity, luxury, and local tradition. Part of the award-winning Zannier Hotels collection, Omaanda is an exclusive retreat that pays homage to traditional Owambo architecture while offering guests an elevated and deeply immersive experience of Africa’ s wild beauty.
Designed to create a meaningful connection to place, each of Omaanda’ s fifteen round thatched huts is a tribute to vernacular design. From panoramic terraces overlooking the vast savannah to sunken bathtubs and handpicked African antiques, every detail is curated to evoke serenity, intimacy, and emotional resonance.
At the core of this vision is a profound respect for guest wellbeing, a principle that extends from the design and materials used throughout the property to the sleep experience itself. Hypnos Contract Beds was proud to collaborate with Zannier Hotels to supply bespoke mattresses for Omaanda, tailored to meet the highest standards of luxury hospitality and crafted with sustainability and longevity in mind.
The Hypnos ethos of comfort with integrity aligns seamlessly with Zannier Hotels’ commitment to progressive luxury- one rooted in local culture, natural materials, and refined simplicity. The beds at Omaanda were carefully selected to offer not only exceptional comfort and support but also to reflect the lodge’ s sustainable values.
“ As a lodge, our priority is to offer guests an experience that feels both grounding and indulgent, and sleep is central to that,” said Mr. Philippe Arnaud, Director of Operations at Zannier Hotels.“ Hypnos understood exactly what we needed. Their beds embody comfort, quality craftsmanship, and a deep respect for sustainability which is an essential part of the sanctuary we’ ve created at Omaanda.”
Guests at Omaanda are invited to disconnect and fully immerse themselves in the rhythms of the Namibian wilderness- whether tracking elephants with conservationists from the N / a’ an ku sê Foundation, enjoying a traditional fireside Boma gathering, or simply resting in the deep quiet of the savannah. The partnership with Hypnos ensures that this sense of retreat continues into the night, with beds that offer regenerative rest in a truly one-of-a-kind setting.
As with every Zannier Hotels property, Omaanda is not just a place to stay, it is a story to live. And through its collaboration with Hypnos, that story continues into the most essential element of hospitality: a perfect night’ s sleep.
