Jungle Lodge Boutique: Our journey began with the ambitious dream of building a hotel in Mexico, inspired by our nomadic lives and our deep connection to nature, from the Italian mountains of Lake Como to the forests of Finland. Infused with elements from our global travels, our hotel is not just a business, but our home – a place where guests can reconnect with nature and create lasting memories. For every tree we removed during construction, we're committed to planting anew. With each booking, guests have the chance to contribute to the restoration of Mexico's tropical jungle, reinforcing our vision of a greener future. Join us for an unforgettable experience grounded in nature and hospitality.
Join us and escape to the sacred tranquility of Tulum, Mexico for 6-days of immersion in the ancient practices of yoga, philosophy, meditation, and ayurveda. Each day provides you a new chance to rest and rediscover both yourself and the wisdom of the Earth. Ayurvedic consultations, morning sessions of movement and mindfulness, a cenote trip, and various ceremonies centered around wellness will help you realign and reset.
