Deep in the heart of the mountainous Dana Biosphere Reserve, at the end of a rugged track, an idyllic candle-lit lodge rests in the magnificent Wadi Feynan.
Here, set against the glorious desert landscape, guests staying at the 26-room lodge can be found adventuring through the untouched outdoors, sipping mint tea with the native Bedouin, exploring local archaeological sites or simply unwinding in the serene courtyards and terraces of the candle-lit complex; safe in the knowledge that they are vacationing in a socially and environmentally-responsible way.
Whether you’re an explorative traveler keen to experience Jordan’s wilderness and indigenous people en-route to Petra, an eco-tourist in quest of a dramatic backdrop for canyoning and biking, or a local resident seeking a magical weekend getaway, Feynan Ecolodge offers a unique escape from the beaten track.
Leave your televisions and telephones behind. Switch off your laptops and your hectic life. Retreat to the serenity of nature: to gaze at majestic sunsets across multi-coloured mountains, join stimulating hikes through rocky terrains, and unwind under starlit nights accompanied only by the sounds of the desert wind, wildlife and the occasional Bedouin footstep.
Hailed as one of the top fifty ecolodges in the world by National Geographic Adventure Magazine and the top fifteen ecolodges worldwide by CNNGo, the award winning solar powered Feynan Ecolodge offers the most developed eco-experience in Jordan; an experience made possible by a unique partnership between EcoHotels and the Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature, a Jordanian NGO devoted to the protection of the Kingdom’s finest natural landscapes.
Enter an enchanting world of seamless hospitality and natural beauty.
The lodge
Tantalize your senses in a new world of contrasts. Feel the awe of gazing through a telescope at an endless canvas of stars. Savour the joy of waking up to the sounds of distant roosters, the touch of cool floors under bare feet, and the exotic smell of an Arabic breakfast wafting through unpolluted air. Then wander into the local leather and candle workshops to watch artisans skillfully mould nature’s elements into useful tools and works of art. Or simply lounge on one of the terraces marveling at the surroundings and how the arabesque lodge merges seamlessly into the ancient rocks.
