Deluxe Room FEYNAN ECOLODGE, JORDAN

Nestled in the heart of the mountainous Dana Biosphere Reserve, whose conservation the hotel helps fund, the Feynan Ecolodge is a pioneer of ecotourism. Leaving as little footprint as possible, the resort is completely solar powered, sources all its water from a local spring and uses composting facilities for its waste. When heating is required — which is only a few months of the year in Jordan — Feynan burns waste from olive pressing to provide heat. The perfect place for a digital detox, none of the rooms have electricity, and you’ll have to head to the front desk to charge your cell or laptop. The largest rooms in the lodge are the Deluxe Rooms. These feature private balconies that offer spectacular views over the wild landscape and provide the ideal spot to enjoy morning coffee as you watch the wadi come to life.
