Rich History in a Spectacular Setting
The perfect base from which to explore Ethiopia’s famous monolithic rock-hewn churches, Ben Abeba Lodge is situated within walking distance from the historic city of Lalibela in the Amhara region of Ethiopia.
Its UNESCO World Heritage Site location not only offers incredible history, but also spectacular surrounding nature, including the Lasta Mountains – the third-highest range in Ethiopia.
Out-of-this-world Accommodation
Located just 1.5 kilometres from Lalibela Airport in the heart of the northern highlands, Ben Abeba is easily the most unique place you’ll ever stay.
A truly striking sight, it is based on a traditional stone and wood build, with four ensuite rooms with private terraces set into the hillside and overlooking the valley.
There is also a shared bar and garden area, a highly-acclaimed restaurant, and a festive barbecue area.
Traditional Dining with a View
Perched high up on a hill and often likened to a spaceship, Ben Abeba’s award-winning restaurant offers guests the opportunity to enjoy traditional Ethiopian dishes against a backdrop of extraordinary views of the valley below.
Ethiopian Explorations
The rock-hewn churches of Lalibela are of course the main drawcard of the area, and are sure to leave you in awe.
Ben Abeba is also within easy reach of Lalibela’s city centre, where guests can visit an array of traditional markets, local restaurants, and shops.
There are also amazing hiking and other nature-based adventures on offer in the surrounding mountains.
