The Space

Soak in the barefoot luxury of the Jungle House, located on the 2nd and 3rd floors on the slopes of the Maderas volcano on Isla de Ometepe, Nicaragua. Relax in modern comfort with high-speed ceiling fans, hot water showers, Wi-Fi, private balconies, and incredible panoramic views of the volcano and lake. The location is ideal for couples, groups of adventurers, business travelers, individuals, and families alike.

The Volcano View Luxury Suite at the Jungle House is part of Selvista Guesthouses, a collection of jungle guesthouses on Isla de Ometepe. The island is a lush, tropically forested UNESCO Biosphere Reserve 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 organic permaculture farm.

The Volcano View Luxury Suite consists of the 2nd and 3rd floors, completely separate from the Comfortable Suite with Forest Views on the 1st floor.

Please contact me if you are interested in renting out both suites, i.e., the entire house.

The entire space is a masterpiece of two years of hand-built construction by a local team utilizing local bamboo, wood, and stone.

Guest Access

Guests have exclusive access to the entire 2nd and 3rd floors of the house, as well as full access to the jungle/farm property and the open-air kitchen where breakfast is served. The kitchen is shared with three 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 organic 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 free 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 sustainability and self-sufficiency in the jungle.

Other Things to Note

The farm is home to three friendly and well-behaved dogs: Vago, Osa, and Navi. They provide companionship and security 24/7. The dogs are always around the property but do not enter the house. They enjoy being petted, but this is 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. In keeping with our vision, we use natural remedies to manage them, 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 whole island, the coral snake, which is timid and rarely seen.

These creatures contribute to the natural beauty and diversity that make Ometepe a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.
