Villa #AND01

Lodge Description

Lush Jungle – Urban Comfort.

A hideaway in the forest only accessible to its privileged guests and located on a scenic plateau, the lodge features breathtaking views of the surrounding forested mountains right up close through its floor-to-ceiling panoramic glass windows. Like a cathedral to the natural world, it protrudes from the verdant hillside, holding unknown comforts and pleasures within.

The lodge was built using the latest techniques in sustainable construction, with much of the structure having been preassembled in Quito. It is designed to blend in perfectly with its natural environment, its glass walls making it virtually invisible at times. Stunningly contemporary and featuring modernist design and décor that mixes warm earth tones, steel, stone and glass in striking perspectives, The Lodge is a true cocoon of luxury in the middle of the forest. Despite its remote location, the lodge can be reached from Quito in around three hours.

The evening of your arrival you will be escorted to the Expedition Room where you will be treated to an activity briefing by the hotels Naturalist Guides and the science team or presentations, the latter of which involve sharing discoveries about the forest and our conservation efforts. The room has an extensive library of books await you.

The trails throughout the Reserve cross various types of terrain, ranging from the earth and gravel of the main road, forest paths carpeted by leaves, wading through rivers, while some have been specially adapted to make walking easier and pleasant, using embedded recycled plastic crates to create steps and firm paths.

During your stay be sure to visit the Samay Wellness Center which offers a range of beauty treatments, massages, a hot tub and a space for yoga, the spa allows you to indulge your senses and liberate your body from tension.
