Ocean View Room - Seaside Garden Ecolodge

A tropical haven between the beach and the mangroves. Ideal for adventurers, yogis, and nature lovers. Wake up with the sea, cook freely, disconnect and live the Mompiche experience. The space Welcome to Seaside Garden Lodge Mompiche, an oceanfront eco-lodge where nature is your home. Our refuge is located between an unspoilt beach and tropical mangroves, creating an environment that changes with the tides. During high tide, the lodge becomes a small natural island: a peaceful and exclusive corner for those seeking to reconnect with the land, sea, and silence. The accommodation combines comfort and sustainability: high ceilings, natural fans, orthopedic mattresses and private bathrooms in each room. There is no television or air conditioning here: the real luxury is listening to the sound of the sea, breathing fresh air and sleeping under a sky full of stars. In the common areas you'll find oceanfront gardens, oceanfront hammocks, and a fully stocked shared kitchen where you can cook at any time or share recipes with other guests. This is a place for those who love the authentic, the simple and the natural. 🌺 ⸻ 🌿 What this place offers On the other hand, there was only one wine glass and no proper kitchen knife, so it was uncomfortable to cook. • 🏝️ Open and shared kitchen, equipped with everything you need • 🌅 Oceanfront terraces and common areas • 🐚 Ecological and sustainable environment, without TV, air conditioning or hot water • 📶 Wi-Fi available in common areas • 🧘‍♀️ Ideal spaces for yoga, reading and meditation • 🐾 Pet-friendly accommodation (upon request) • 🚙 Exclusive beach access during low tide (coordinate with the team) • 💧 Environmental commitment: responsible use of water and energy • 🤝 Personalized assistance to coordinate tours, transportation and activities ⸻ 💫 What makes your place special What makes Seaside Garden Lodge unique is its magical location between the beach and the mangroves. Few places in the world offer this feeling of being surrounded by the sea and the rainforest at the same time. During high tide, the lodge is naturally isolated from the rest of the world, becoming a small island of peace. It's a place where you can walk barefoot on the sand, practice yoga at dawn, cook with local ingredients, and sleep lulled by the waves. Every detail was designed to promote a conscious, simple and connected lifestyle: no excesses, no noise, only nature, authenticity and freedom. That's why our guests often say that getting here feels like discovering a hidden paradise.
