Anavilhanas Jungle Lodge
Anavilhanas National Park, Amazon
Anavilhanas Jungle Lodge boasts a spectacular location on the banks of the Negro River, across from one of the world’s largest river archipelagos featuring over 400 islands, Anavilhanas National Park. The lodge seamlessly integrates with its rainforest surroundings, combining modern touches with traditional Amazonian architecture – think thatched roofs and plenty of beautiful wood.
The hotel’s twenty-four guest rooms are designed to maximize rainforest immersion, incorporating glass walls, private terraces with hammocks, and bathtubs wrapped in greenery. Tasteful shared spaces add to the experience, from the open-air swimming pool and floating bar to the jungle-clad massage room and Amazonian flavors sizzling in the restaurant.
Ideal for: Nature lovers, adventure seekers, intimate stay
- Why we love it
- Highlights
- Positive Impact
This small luxury property, nestled in the heart of the forest, offers a wonderful mix of nature, comfort, adventure and peace. Located right on the black waters of the Río Negro, you can enjoy a swim from the floating bar or relax on the deck, contemplating the serene views. Thanks to the river’s unique high acidity, mosquitoes are few and far between. Don’t miss climbing the viewpoint for 360° panoramas over the forest and National Park! The latest addition, Villa Bacurau, is ideal for families with its two suites, cool mezzanine lounge and swimming pool deck surrounded by jungle green. We love how it has a cozy jungle vibe while still feeling spacious. Opt to arrive by float plane from Manaus and you`ll be rewarded with incredible views of the river archipelago, plus you’ll save a couple of hours on the journey.
