Miramelindo

Central Highlands


This enchanting place has a great spa with a sauna, Jacuzzi and baños de cajón (steam boxes). The wonderfully rustic rooms are accented in wood and earthy colors; some have fireplaces. There are jungly common areas and hammocks slung all around. The orchid collection is outrageous.

The restaurant here sells good Ecuadorian food including a range of vegetarian options.
