This gorgeous, sustainable, and established eco-lodge and retreat center in the beautiful cloud forest in Mindo, Ecuador, offers investors a rare opportunity to align purpose with profit.

A fully operational, income-generating property with a track record, this property offers authentic environmental stewardship, and immediate access to two of the fastest-growing lifestyle markets in the world: The global sustainable tourism sector -- projected to grow from $7 to $13 trillion by 2032, and the wellness and healing industry—a multi-trillion-dollar market with global spending exceeding $4 trillion annually since 2017—both of which are reshaping the future of travel and investment.

For nearly two decades, this popular and successful boutique eco-lodge has welcomed travelers from around the world seeking nature, wellness, and sustainable luxury. With a loyal international following, strong year-round occupancy, and a solid reputation for excellence, this five-acre property represents a turnkey investment in one of South America's fastest-growing eco-tourism destinations.

Located at 1,400 meters (4,600 feet) in Ecuador’s cloud forest, with an average temperature of 16-26°C (60-78°F), this is the ideal location not only as the current eco-lodge, but also as a retreat or wildlife cente, a hiking and birdwatcher's paradise, or a yoga or meditatiion hideaaway. And Mindo's steady influx of international, eco-tourists, ensures strong revenue potential. It is also a prime launching pad for visiting the Galapagos Islands and the Amazon Jungle.

Mindo is one of Earth’s most biodiverse regions, tucked within the UNESCO Chocó Andino Biosphere Reserve, known as "The Land of Eternal Spring." This is a natural haven, where mist drifts through the forest canopy each morning, and the songs of hundreds of bird species accompany guests as they unwind in handcrafted cabins. Located only 2 1/2 hours from the Quito International Airport, this area is renowned for its biodiversity, cacao farms, and award-winning chocolate industry, not to mention one of the most beautiful Butterfly farms, as well as a hummingbird sanctuary in the town of Mindo.

About the Property:

Set on five pristine acres, within walking distance to Mindo's town center, this eco-lodge balances accessibility with tranquility. The property features five handcrafted buildings constructed from locally and sustainably sourced timber:

• The Main Lodge (Three Stories): The main lodge includes a reception area, a retail space, and dining, kitchen, and restrooms on the first floor; a four-bedroom owner’s apartment with office on the second; and an upper-level observation deck for yoga, events, and bird-watching.

• Four Private Cabins: Each offers stone-finished soaking tubs, balconies overlooking the canopy, and elegant custom-made details. One family bungalow accommodates up to six guests, and is ideal for extended stays or wellness retreats.

The lodge’s eco-engineering minimizes environmental impact while maximizing guest comfort—solar panels with smart inverters, methane-free Verm filters for waste treatment, and a closed-loop composting system for organic waste. Two natural springs supply fresh water year-round, while ornamental ponds and walking paths enhance the tranquil landscape.

This property represents more than a successful business—it’s a living, breathing model of what responsible tourism can achieve. Whether envisioned as a wellness retreat, eco-hotel, or regenerative investment venture, it offers a chance to participate in a global movement where sustainability is not just the future—it’s the return.
