Hostel Hostería Mandála (Puerto López, Ecuador)

About Hostería Mandála

Hosteria Mandala is truly a unique establishment. It is not your average hotel; it avoids distractions such as pools and televisions. Instead, it emerges you into a world of nature, art and relaxation. The cabins/rooms are located within a vast botanical garden that has been nurtured for the past 20 years. It holds hundreds of different types of plants, trees and flowers and is home to many animals such as iguanas, white bats and hummingbirds (to name a few). We also have Great Danes dogs that will make your stay feel like a home away from home. The owners have dedicated 20 years of their lives into creating a paradise for art lovers. Even before you enter Mandala, you will encounter dolphin monuments, a whale skeleton exhibition and our 150m of murals. Within Mandala the attention to detail does not stop. You will find exquisite wood works, paintings and musical instruments. Mandala promotes the importance of human interaction and bonding. The common house provides an ideal space to play board games, solve puzzles and to talk while enjoying a drink with our delicious deserts and ice creams. We also have a gaming room with a pool table, foosball table and dartboard. We provide beach cabins where you can hang a hammock and enjoy the sun, sand and ocean. Hosteria Mandala is the ideal place to relax. The cabins/rooms have access to terraces with hammocks and patio furniture with a view to our botanical gardens. If you would like, for an additional charge, you can have a masseuse come to your room and give you a massage. We also have comfortable chairs in the common house and a vast library with books in multiple languages. What is better than a good book and a glass of wine or a hot coffee? Those who love nature, art and relaxation will find a true oasis in the little town of Puerto Lopez.
