Eco-Friendly Accommodation in Jordan

Jordan isn’t just a destination you visit, it’s a place you experience with all your senses. Imagine sleeping in a lodge surrounded by forest sounds, watching the sunset over desert mountains, sharing dinner with a local family in a village home, or waking up near landscapes that have shaped human history for thousands of years.

What makes Jordan truly special is its unique accommodation experiences. Across the country, eco-friendly lodges, nature retreats, and community guesthouses allow travelers to stay in places that are deeply connected to the land, the culture, and the people. Your stay becomes part of the journey — not just a place to sleep, but a meaningful experience.

Choosing these special places means your trip supports nature conservation, preserves traditions, and directly benefits local communities.

Nature-Based Lodges in Jordan’s Reserves (RSCN)

The Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature (RSCN) is a pioneer of nature-focused tourism in Jordan. Through lodges and chalets located inside protected areas, RSCN offers accommodation that combines comfort with care for the environment and strong community involvement — all set within extraordinary landscapes.

• North – Ajloun Forest Reserve

Eco-lodges in Ajloun provide peaceful stays surrounded by oak forests, wildlife, and fresh mountain air. Built using local materials and operated responsibly, these lodges create jobs for nearby villages while helping conserve Jordan’s northern forests.

• West – Mujib Chalets (Mujib Biosphere Reserve)

The Mujib Chalets are located in the Mujib Biosphere Reserve along the eastern shore of the Dead Sea. Overlooking dramatic canyons and the water below, the chalets offer direct access to trails and the famous Wadi Mujib adventures. Staying here supports conservation of one of Jordan’s most unique and biodiverse ecosystems.

• East – Azraq Lodge

In Jordan’s eastern desert, Azraq Lodge reflects RSCN’s commitment to conservation and local development. Built in traditional style with local materials, it provides access to the Azraq Wetland Reserve while generating income and employment for surrounding communities.

• South – Dana Biosphere Reserve Lodges

Within Jordan’s largest nature reserve, lodges blend into breathtaking mountain scenery. Traditional architecture, resource-saving systems, and locally sourced food are central to the experience, while tourism revenue supports both conservation and village life.

Staying at RSCN lodges means your visit directly contributes to wildlife protection, nature conservation, and local livelihoods.
