Mayleko Lodge
Location
Gondar, Ethiopia
Mayleko is a deluxe lodge featuring private bungalows surrounded by nature. Twenty individual stone and thatch chalets are backdropped by Dilha Mountain and enjoy views of distant ridges, green valleys and small farms. Each has a private veranda with a mountain or garden view. Spacious interiors feature elegant touches befitting the lodge's location on the peaceful outskirts of the royal city of Gondar. Inside the bungalows you'll find high bamboo ceilings, wood and wicker furnishings, bright color accents, a king-size or two full-size beds, and a modern en suite bathroom. The newly built lodge has been constructed with traditional regional design elements using reclaimed hardwoods, sustainable and recycled materials, and local skills. It operates from a philosophy that seeks to reduce impact on the environment, promote energy efficiency and benefit the local community through ethical employment practices. Lodge guests will enjoy fine dining in an airy terrace setting overlooking the mountains, drinks at the cozy bar, and an inviting swimming pool surrounded by a stone terrace with cushioned lounge chairs.
