Mashpi Lodge

RETURN TO THE WILD IN THE ECUADORIAN JUNGLE

Isolated in the heart of the rainforest, this world-class lodge has been designed to blend as harmoniously as possible with the surrounding Chocó forest and its exceptional biodiversity. A true bubble of comfort in the middle of the jungle, Mashpi Lodge comprises 24 rooms with a sleek design and immense picture windows looking out onto nature. At the restaurant, the chef draws inspiration from the diversity of Ecuadorian cuisine, and mixology lessons are offered at the bar. A superb spa features two massage rooms, an open-air hot tub and a yoga space. The 2,500-hectare Mashpi Reserve is first and foremost a research centre for observing the surrounding forest and promoting sustainable tourism.
