At Kuriftu Resort and Spa – Lake Tana, you’ll find endless ways to fill your day. As soon as you step in to your suite or room you will feel the care and attention to detail that went into the construction of the Resort. If you beat the temptation of staying in room, a variety of tour packages awaits you; be it to your choice of the 30 islands on the lake punctuated with ancient monasteries and history or on land. Visit the first stone bridge constructed in Ethiopia under the commands of Emperor Susenyos in 1626 or the thunderous Blue Nile Falls situated on the upper course of the river only 37 Kilometers downstream from the town of Bahir Dar and Lake Tana. The falls are estimated to be between 37 and 45 meters high, consisting of four streams that originally varied from a trickle in the dry season to over 400 meters wide in the peak of the rainy season. Whether you choose to explore the surrounding or simply relax in the comfort of your luxury suite, you will love the large outdoor swimming pool and our world class Spa Centre .Be spoiled, indulged and beautified as you feel the stress float away from your body. Offering a variety of treatments, the Spa at Kuriftu will allow you to relax, rejuvenate and renew your body & soul. The real historic interest of the islands lies in their treasury, which includes numerous piles of brightly ceremonial robes and the mummified remains of several of the former emperors of Ethiopia including Yukon Amlak, the restorer of the so-called Solomonic Dynasty to the throne in 1270, Dawit, Zara Yaqob, Zadenghel and Fasiladas. But our lakeside resort is also the gateway for your trips into the Historic Northern Route of Ethiopia. From here you can venture out to the Fasiladas Castles in Gondar, the Simen Mountain National Park, rock hewn churches of Lalibela and many other wonders of northern Ethiopia.
