About Project

Nestled in the Ethiopian landscape, the Wenchi Luxury Eco-Lodge offers a unique hospitality experience that blends luxury with environmental consciousness. The construction project incorporated traditional Ethiopian building techniques, like the revered “tukul” construction method, which utilizes sustainable materials like wood and stone. These locally-sourced elements seamlessly integrate the lodge into its surroundings, fostering a deep connection with nature for guests.

More than just a place to stay, the Wenchi Luxury Eco-Lodge goes beyond hospitality by positively impacting the lives of the local community. The project included the construction of upscale housing for thirteen farming families, replacing their previous mud houses. This initiative demonstrates the lodge’s commitment to social responsibility and creating a positive impact on the region’s development.

The design of the Wenchi Luxury Eco-Lodge prioritizes comfort and immersion in nature. Spacious living areas boast large windows and local stone partitions, offering stunning views of the surrounding landscape. Underfloor heating ensures guest comfort, while a welcoming wooden terrace beckons visitors to relax and take in the beauty. The lodge’s communal areas provide a versatile space for relaxation and socializing, further enhancing the guest experience.
