Emerald Resort & Lodge - Turmi
Lying 850 kilometers south of Addis, Emerald Resort straddles a hilltop between two of Ethiopia’s Rift Valley lakes, Abaya and Chamo, and overlooks the dense forest of Netch Sar National Park. Perfectly placed for excursions into the area, it’s also the gateway to the remote southern villages and ancient cultures of the otherworldly Omo Valley. This is an area of exceptional natural beauty, and the resort has been designed to take advantage of it all. Surrounded by lush gardens and equipped with every luxury you might need, Emerald offers smart service, accommodations you’ll enjoy, and some exciting attractions.
Emerald’s thatched lapas and open-sided structures are an innovative blend of global designs. You enter through the hive-like reception area, from which you get some idea of the forested valley below. A broad deck clings to the hillside, adjoining the outdoor pool and restaurant – the heart of the resort (there’s also a pizzeria). There’s a well-equipped gym with a view, a spa that supplies a full menu of treatments, an ATM cash machine, and, for campers, a large campsite.
Accommodation is in 82 rooms scattered around the property, from small to presidential. Elegantly designed and furnished with traditional art, the rooms reflect Bali-meets-Africa design, with thatched roofs, and lovely woodwork and fabrics. Four-poster, mosquito-draped beds are standard. Bathrooms are en suite and outfitted with high-pressure showers and double basins.
