Experience the essence of life itself

A cocoon of luxury in the clouds, where contemporary design moves in harmony with nature.

Mashpi Lodge is the place to encounter 500 species of birds; trees and frogs found nowhere in the world; crashing waterfalls and mysterious felines. Dare yourself to trek down hidden paths, splash through rivers, rise at dawn to spot rare birds, or fly high above it all aboard our Dragonfly.

The world around us breathes, waiting for us to begin our descent into discovery…

A relationship of mutual support

Working with the Community

Mashpi would not be what it is without the collaboration of the local community. From the outset, we have sought to work hand-in-hand with those living in the areas surrounding the reserve, implementing an innovative programme in which they, as well as Lodge employees, become shareholders in the enterprise. Mashpi offers numerous job opportunities for members of the neighbouring communities including professional training, for employees who share their unparalleled knowledge of the land and the wildlife around.

Forbes

``There are times and places in our travels when we wonder just how in the world they pulled it off. Mashpi Lodge is one of those places...``

Suitcase Magazine

``… we were enchanted. A piece of glowing wood, thousands of fireflies, colourful birds and ten lightning flashes later, we were back in our room at Mashpi Lodge, completely cocooned in what felt like a treehouse suspended above the forest.``

New York Post

``Mashpi is a place for serious nature-lovers. Nicholas Gill``

Condé Nast Traveller

``There are aerial gondolas and bicycles to ride through the forest canopy, waterfalls and rock pools to swim in, and night walks into the verdant forest. Nature is visible from every window - trees bang against the glass, colourful birds flash in front of you.``
