Unbeatable ocean view from an ecolodge

Dreaming of waking up to the sound of waves and taking a real step back? This spot offers both a breathtaking view and a super chill atmosphere.

Perched on a rocky headland, this ecolodge offers a one-of-a-kind immersion between jungle and sea.

After a short hike up a rugged path, you’ll find a warm, welcoming house with airy terraces and a suspended net above the trees—perfect for whale watching or just daydreaming in a hammock.

The rooms are simple but practical, arranged around a lively common space where it’s easy to connect with fellow travelers. The team helps plan your activities, while Choco, the in-house chef, spoils you with generous, homemade meals. Everything here is designed to make your stay easygoing, vibrant, and stress-free.

What to expect

Between a secret beach, lush jungle, and breathtaking views

Picture yourself climbing a quiet rocky trail to reach a house perched above the waves. Each day begins with a panoramic ocean view and flows gently between swims, walks, sunsets, and shared meals on the terrace.

Over 4 or 5 days, you’ll explore hidden waterfalls, walk along endless beaches lined with jungle, try Viche tasting with a local, or simply soak up the laid-back Pacific vibe. Depending on the season, you can watch whales (July to October), see baby turtles released into the sea (August to February), or surf the waves of Termales (May to November).

The tides of this shape each day—swims, walks, and explorations follow their rhythm. Ask about conditions daily to make the most of this living, shifting landscape.

A warm and lively escape, gently rocked by the sea and the jungle.
