Stand a chance to win an experience of a lifetime in Namibia, where you’ll get the chance to soar above the Namib Desert in a hot air balloon after a luxurious night at a five-star lodge. All you need to do is purchase a 75ml Memo fragrance from selected Skins or ARC stores and online platforms before 31 August 2024 to qualify for the draw.
The exclusive prize for two includes a four-nights stay at Gondwana Lodge Desert Grace (including breakfast and dinner), and a sunrise hot air balloon safari with Namib Sky over the Sossusvlei in the Namib Naukluft National Park or NamibRand Nature Reserve, with transfers to and from the hotel for the balloon ride.
During the panoramic ride over either the Sossusvlei dunes in the National Park or the surrounding private reserves, you’ll enjoy an hour of flight over the endless vistas of sand and mountains. Once the balloon has landed in your very own secluded spot, you’ll enjoy a scrumptious Out of Africa-style breakfast. A memorable Flight Certificate is presented to passengers after the balloon ride; a special souvenir to take back home.
And then there’s the accommodation. Opened in 2018, Gondwana Lodge Desert Grace is the first of the company’s lodges to be entirely constructed using sandbags instead of bricks. Not only is this good for the environment, it also makes the properties 24 rooms both cooler and well insulated. From the reception area, lavish finishes and quirky character – inspired by Wes Anderson films from the ‘60s – indicate that guests are in for a luxurious and one-of-a-kind experience.
The prize also includes two hand-delivered Memo fragrances of your own. Memo Paris was founded in 2007 by Clara Molloy and her husband John. They see fragrance as a journey, forging its identity around magical destinations and potent raw materials. This desire for travel to far-off places is the very reflection of the founding couples: she, the Parisian-Catalan poet, he, the sporty Irish globetrotter. Now, they welcome fragrance collectors to the Memo Grand Hotel, where the journey is truly the destination. Each floor is named after a Memo Paris perfume collection and each room after a fragrance. The newest room that beckons is Cappadocia, a fragrance inspired by the surreal landscape and vibrant energy of the Cappadocia region. To celebrate this, Memo Paris is inviting YourLuxury readers to enter a competition for the trip of a lifetime.
