Kuriftu Resort Bahir Dar

Located at the source of the Nile, this welcoming resort offers guests the ultimate space for relaxation surrounded by beautiful Ethiopian scenery. There are 28 rooms, with two Presidential suites, boasting natural materials, traditional Ethiopian furniture pieces, exposed brick and bright fabric accents.

Dine outdoors overlooking the tranquil Lake Tana, or admire the view from the bright dining room. Some rooms have balconies that look out over the lake, where you can while away the hours, or soak up the sun on a lounger beside the pool. For the ultimate treat, book a treatment at the resort’s on-site spa.

Nearby there is fascinating native Bahir Dar architecture, and well as monolithic churches to discover. The resort is perfectly positioned to explore nearby monasteries, or visit the Blue Nile Falls, and Addis Ababa is just a one-hour flight away.
