Escape the beaten path.
A sensory experience awaits.

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.

Hailed as one of the top fifty ecolodges in the world by National Geographic Adventure Magazine, the 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.

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.

The Lodge
The stunning arabesque lodge blends elegantly into the natural environment with each guest room boasting a different view of the surrounding mountains and a rooftop terrace offering breathtaking panoramic vistas of Wadi Feynan.

The Rooms
Candles nestled in carved recesses create a welcoming glow in the 26 guest rooms. Each 2-4 person room has an en-suite bathroom, ensuring a comfortable personal sanctuary where you can indulge in peaceful sleep far removed from the noise of the city.

The Dining
Wake up to the smell of coffee and warming bread. Nourish yourself with fresh vegetarian lunches. Relish delectable dinners skilfully combining local produce to replenish you after a day of exploring. A café also serves freshly grilled sandwiches, juices, hot drinks and desserts throughout the afternoon.

The Activities
Exciting experiences abound: hike over unspoiled terrain, visit local Bedouin encampments, canyon through the magnificent Wadi Ghwayr, mountain bike past ancient ruins, and descend into 4,000 year old copper mines by day. Then head back to the lodge for soothing tea, fireplace conversations and endless starry skies.

This is an incredible lodge in a beautiful place run by remarkably nice people. —edtravelstoomuch (TripAdvisor)
