Cabins nestled in tropical gardens, a pool and authentic Manabí coastal cuisine. On the northern end of the seafront, where you hear the waves and not the city.
We are located in the quietest stretch of the seafront, away from the bars and traffic of the town centre. At Oceanic, nights unfold at the rhythm of the sea: the sound of the waves, the ocean breeze and the natural surroundings that ease you into rest.
Every space was designed to feel like a refuge: each has a private entrance, its own garden and a balcony where many guests find their favourite moment of the day. A simple, welcoming space to disconnect, read, take in the scenery or simply let the hours drift by.
Just 30 metres from the shoreline, the ocean becomes part of every moment. It is the first thing you see when you wake and the last thing that accompanies you before sleep. From the grounds you can walk directly to the beach — perfect for a barefoot stroll at sunset.
Independent cabins and rooms for 2 to 5 people. All include breakfast, WiFi, hot water, air conditioning and a balcony with hammock.

On our social channels we share corners of Puerto López, moments that inspire us and memories left by our guests. If you were ever part of one of them, we'd love to find you there again.
Holistic is not a concept or a trend. It is the experience of a place where the ocean, the tropical forest and the natural rhythm of the surroundings create the conditions to disconnect from the noise of everyday life and recover your sense of presence. Here, the space doesn't merely accompany the retreat — it is an active part of it.
Before the first practice, something already shifts. The constant sound of the Pacific, the sea breeze and the calm of the landscape change the way you breathe, observe and inhabit the moment. By the time the experience begins, the body has already started its own process of transformation.
Fresh seafood, cazuela, ceviche and traditional dishes from the Manabí coast. Restobar with views of the tropical garden. Open to guests and outside visitors.
Make every occasion unforgettable. We host weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, family gatherings and social events in a unique setting — with spacious gardens, an open-air terrace and outstanding cuisine.

Every year from June to September, humpback whales travel from Antarctica to breed and give birth in the warm waters of Puerto López. Whale-watching tours depart from the dock, just a short walk from the lodge, on boats that get close enough to watch them breach and slap the water with their tails. For many of our guests, it is the reason they made the journey.
Known as "the poor man's Galápagos" — without sailing 1,000 km out to sea, you can walk among blue-footed boobies, frigatebirds and albatrosses. The boat crossing takes about an hour and a half from Puerto López and includes snorkelling in clear waters where sea turtles are a common sight. A full-day excursion, ideal for those looking for something more adventurous than the beach.
White sand, turquoise water and not a single food stand or beach umbrella in sight: Los Frailes is protected within Machalilla National Park and remains pristine. You reach it on foot along a trail through cliffs and dry tropical forest with a sea-view lookout — about 15 minutes by car from the lodge. Worth going early, before the midday tour groups arrive.
A local community manages this site where the Manteña culture lived over 700 years ago. The archaeological museum holds original artefacts found on-site, and a short walk away there is a milky-white sulphurous lagoon where you can swim — many say the mud is good for your skin. A different kind of morning: half history, half nature, just 10 km from the lodge.
Every morning, well before dawn, the fishermen of Puerto López return to shore with the day's catch and sell it straight from their brightly painted boats. It is a ritual that has gone on for generations and one you can witness simply by walking to the dock, steps from the lodge: the fish auction, seagulls fighting for scraps, the town waking up. Authentic — no staging for tourists.
A 10-minute walk from the lodge brings you to the heart of Puerto López: the Fisherman's Monument, stalls selling handmade crafts in seeds, tagua and shells, and the tourist dock where boats depart for Isla de la Plata. At sunset it fills with people strolling, street vendors and the best light of the day to watch the sun sink into the Pacific.
