The Space

The Mango House is part of Selvista Guesthouses, a "barefoot luxury" collection of jungle guesthouses on Isla de Ometepe. The island is a lush, tropically forested UNESCO Biosphere Reserve located in the middle of Lake Nicaragua, the largest lake in Central America.

The house offers a comfortable and private lodging experience with direct access to the surrounding tropical forest and an organic permaculture farm. The entire space is a masterpiece of hand-built construction by a local team utilizing local bamboo, wood, and stone.

You are welcome to prepare your meals in the guest kitchen, which is shared with other guesthouses on the property but is used very infrequently.

Breakfast is included with your stay and is offered from 7:30 to 9:00 AM. Guests are served island coffee, lemongrass tea from the garden, and a plate of various farm-fresh breakfast foods prepared by a friendly local cook.

Guests are invited to take a tour with the site manager of the 1-hectare (2.5-acre) guesthouse property, which includes farm animals, tropical fruits, organic gardens, and examples of sustainable use and regeneration in the jungle.

Other Things to Note

The farm is home to two friendly German Shepherds: Navi and Loki. They provide company and security 24/7 and are often around the property. They sleep a lot and enjoy being petted (optional).

The entire property is a lush tropical forest, abundant with plant and animal life. Guests may often encounter small, shy jungle animals around the property, including birds, butterflies, bees, monkeys, frogs, toads, spiders, and small bats. Sometimes these creatures may take shelter inside as well.

In keeping with our vision, we try to use natural remedies to manage these animals, which we are happy to share with you upon your arrival. None of these species are aggressive, toxic to humans, or otherwise dangerous. There is only one venomous animal on the island, the coral snake, which is timid and rare, with very small jaws. These creatures contribute to the natural beauty and diversity that make Ometepe a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.
