Our AdZENture offers two amazing accommodations during our week in Tela. We start the week off in a beautiful, boutique hotel in the heart of Tela, minutes from the beach. The last two nights will be spent at an extraordinary property in the Jeanette Kawas National Park on the West side of Tela bay. This area is a massive mangrove forest home to 330 species of birds. The hotel includes unique fruit trees, an organic farm, and hiking trails into the park.

This unique tree house boutique hotel in Tela is situated on it’s own little vista making it the perfect place for rooftop yoga with views of the city and sea. We have an onsite pool and great restaurant where we will enjoy meals with a view before heading out for our daily AdZENtures.

The mission of this property is the conservation, protection, and restoration of natural and cultural resources in the area.

From the initial conception of this unique property, the owners/visionaries designated approximately 50% of the land for a wildlife sanctuary. Since then a great variety of birds, olingo monkeys, iguanas, and many other types of wildlife have repopulated this wooded reserve.

In addition, they have planted approximately 2,000 ornamental plants, 350 fruit trees, 400 coconut trees, 350 cacao trees, 500 plantain, and 1,000 hardwood and lumber trees. Slowly, they are increasing the habitat for more wildlife and converting the once cow pasture and deforested land onto luscious green, shaded areas.

At this property they promote the coexistence of humans and nature. These unique and natural settings allow guests to experience wildlife, natural attractions, and indigenous culture with the minimum intrusion in their habitats.
