Accommodations consist of charming private bamboo huts. The single rooms come with a twin sized bed, locally crafted Cordia Africana furniture, and an en suite bathroom. The twin suites include two beds and a view of either the lake or the garden. While the family rooms feature a queen bed and a twin sized bed, a sitting area, and bamboo furniture. Honeymooners love the king suites with their plush king-sized beds. However, the ultimate luxury can be found in the two-story Presidential Suite. On the ground floor, there is an entrance hall and bedroom with two twin beds. While the second floor contains the master bedroom with a king-sized bed. Every room enjoys a private veranda.
The lodge is located in the lush Great Rift Valley. The city of Arba Minch was established as the regional capital in 1960. Near the lodge, Nechisar National Park encompasses 127,000-acres of verdant and game-rich wilderness with wide swaths of thick bushland and wooded valleys. Within the park can be found the Bridge of God, an isthmus between Lake Abaya and Lake Chamo whose lakes house a significant fish population including Nile perch. Other animals found within the park include plains zebra, Grant’s gazelle, dik-dik, greater kudu, bushbuck, bushpig, vervet monkey, and black-backed jackal. The park is an important habitat for many birds especially waterfowl such as kingfishers, storks, pelicans, flamingoes, and fish eagles.
Nearby Forty Springs is believed to be a sacred spot whose waters carry healing properties where visitors can take a dip and enjoy the lush beauty of the spot. Every day the crocodiles gather on Lake Chamo for the Crocodile Market which is also a great spot hippos, birds, and fish. For even more crocodile action, guests can visit the Crocodile Ranch built to sustain the wild crocodile population. For more adventure, there is always a two-hour scenic hike across the Bridge of God. A seven-hour horseback excursion explores the region and includes a visit to a gorgeous waterfall, and behind the scenes tour of a local farm.
The main lodge area houses the beautiful Paradise Lodge Restaurant and Bar. The restaurant serves up delicious local and international cuisine made from local, organic produce as well as panoramic views of Lake Chamo and Lake Abaya. The lodge’s refreshing pool also includes a swim up bar and outdoor television. While the spa features pampering massages, a steam room, a sauna and manicure/pedicure services as well as an on-site barber.
