1. Seku Bi
Seku Bi is an intimate boutique hotel owned by an Ethiopian businesswoman ‑ Yodith Eklund the Founder of surf brand ‑ @bantuwax.
Although hidden a few steps from the Independence Square and the city center, the hotel is a haven isolated from the hustle and bustle. You will find the peace and serenity offered by the breathtaking view of the Atlantic Ocean and its unmissable sunsets.
