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.
Every once in a while, it's good to pause, rest, and reconnect with yourself. For six days in Mexico, embark on a transformational journey within the enchanting Mexican jungle. Begin each day with a revitalizing asana yoga session and breakfast. Bask in the sun on Tulum's pristine beaches, dive into the healing waters of natural cenotes, or engage in insightful workshops. Savor delicious meals lovingly prepared by the chef to keep your body and soul nourished. Each moment is crafted to empower, heal, and transform. Embrace the adventure, meditation, and growth — come reconnect with your higher self amidst nature’s beauty.
