MACHILILLA NATIONAL PARK
Mantaraya Lodge lies in the heart of vast Machalilla National Park, an area of 55,095 acres extending along Ecuador's Pacific coast in Manabi Province. The park includes the bird haven of Isla de la Plata , as well as numerous bays, small islands and beautiful beaches. Within the park there is also impressive semi-desert vegetation, including a dry tropical forest. The ocean is the home of a beautiful coral reef as well as birds, mammals and marine reptiles. Humpback whales visit these waters from June-September, and the marine turtle is active here from October-December

Vistalmar is a unique place, especially due to its location and type of accommodations.

It's situated in the best sector of the city, peaceful and safe, right in front of the beach and, as its name implies, with a spectacular view of the sea, especially from the pool, which is right on the edge of an ocean cliff.

There is easy access to the beach through stairs located 60 feet from the entrance, and we are just a few blocks away from some of the best restaurants and tourist services.

This beautiful beach resort has, in addition, two suites that are carefully finished and decorated with local materials such as cana guadua (bamboo), paja toquilla (toquilla straw, a material used to make the well known Panama hats) and tagua (the nut of the tagua palm that closely resembles ivory).

These suites will allow you to enjoy your vacation in a unique environment which you will not be able to find elsewhere in the area.

Close to the pool is the open-air bungalow, made from materials typical of the region, from which you can enjoy a quiet breakfast, read a book or relax while watching the changes in the color of the ocean, or the sea birds flying very close by.

The bungalow and the pool are surrounded by a beautiful garden of flowers and lush vegetation, in which peacocks and royal doves roam freely and well nurtured.

Attention is personalized, and every guest is regarded as a friend, while respecting their privacy and their right to rest.
