Morromico

Top choice


Situated on a magnificent private beach protected by forested headlands, family run Morromico is a beautiful, small ecoresort surrounded by thick jungle. The hotel is set in lush gardens framed by a pair of waterfalls where you can bathe in crystal-clear mountain waters. The comfortable new hardwood lodge building is both stylish and at peace with the surrounding nature.

The semi-open rooms, powered by a small hydroelectrico plan, have balconies overlooking the beach and big windows that let in the sounds of the jungle. The owners organize boat trips and some fantastic treks through the mountains to local indigenous communities. Rates include three very good meals. Reservations are essential.

Morromico is 15 minutes by boat from Jurubidá.
