Building With Nature: African Stays Using Local, Earth-Friendly Architecture
Africa has a long legacy of building in harmony with nature. Now, sustainable architects and eco-lodges are reviving that legacy — with gorgeous, low-impact stays made of mud, stone, thatch, and repurposed wood.
5 Stays That Blend Architecture + Earth:
1. Sundy Praia – São Tomé and Príncipe
Tented villas made with local hardwoods, fully solar-powered, and blend seamlessly into the jungle.
2. Wolwedans Desert Lodge – Namibia
Canvas + timber build, placed lightly on the sand. Each structure is removable to protect the dunes.
3. Laka Lodge – Madagascar
Rammed earth + thatch structures built by local craftsmen, using traditional Malagasy techniques.
4. Safi Lodge – Ghana
Locally-sourced adobe bricks, hand-carved wood, and zero plastic waste design.
5. El Fenn – Marrakech, Morocco
Restored riad using recycled tiles, clay plaster, and vintage decor — sustainability meets North African art.
