Eco Luxury Camps and Lodges in the World

Morgan’s Rock, located on the southern Pacific coast of Nicaragua, is the result of a project aimed at safeguarding the environment and developing the local economy. More specifically, the ‘hacienda’, a 1,800-hectare property immersed in tropical forest and bordered by pure white beaches, where turtles come to lay their eggs, is situated to the north of San Juan del Sur close to the Costa Rican border and just to the south of the old colonial centre of Granada. Created in perfect harmony with the surrounding environment, the 15 refined, wooden bungalows at Morgan’s Rock were constructed by local artisans and arranged so as to ensure privacy and a very peaceful stay. Luxuriously equipped with extra-large beds, comfortable sofa-beds, a private terrace/deck and wooden internal décor elements and fittings, the apartments are all linked to the central lodge by means of a 110-m suspension bridge that crosses a forested canyon. The hacienda and its private reserve offers a wide range of activities and excursions including guided explorations to allow visitors to discover the many types of plants and birds that live in this area, trips across Lake Nicaragua, kayaking, butterfly tours and cultural visits with guides to nearby villages.

With glamorous polished wooden floors, each tent is beautifully furnished with a comfortable king size bed and down duvets with extra large pillows. The elegant interiors boast leather and canvas finishes - traditional safari chic! The ensuite stone-walled bathroom includes a separate shower and separate flush w.c.

Madikwe Safari Lodge is situated deep in the heart of the Madikwe Game Reserve. The reserve is exceptional not only for the large number of different natural habitats it possesses but also for the prodigious number of species of wild animal that it holds. The lodge is perched high up on the slope of two adjacent hills, both of which command wide breathtaking views of the plain below. The lodge is built almost entirely out of wood and stone, creating a series of warm, romantic tones. 16 suites are divided between 3 elegant camps. Each suite contains a bathroom, an outside shower and a swimming pool. The suites are stylishly furnished using a combination of wood, local sculpture and different fabrics in earth colours. More striking still are the large windows, which, given the interminable vistas, the purple mountains in the distance and the green thread of the River Marico below, look more like oil paintings.
