Relax and Recharge at Mindo Coffee Lodge & Spa in Ecuador’s Cloud Forest

Nestled in the lush Ecuadorian rainforest, Mindo Coffee Lodge & Spa is the perfect destination for travelers seeking a relaxing escape surrounded by nature. Just a short walk from the charming town of Mindo, Ecuador, the lodge offers a peaceful retreat with incredible greenery, vibrant birds, and the soothing sounds of the jungle.

During my stay, I explored the town of Mindo, which is full of quaint shops, cozy cafés, and excellent local restaurants. A highlight was taking a chocolate-making class at Mindo Chocolate Makers, an artisan chocolate shop and factory that’s a must-visit for food lovers. Beyond the town, the surrounding area offers stunning Ecuador waterfalls that are easily accessible, plus a gondola ride over the rainforest canopy for breathtaking views and scenic rainforest hiking trails.

The lodge also offers reliable internet, making it an ideal spot for remote work in Ecuador. I spent a week balancing productivity with relaxation, enjoying the lodge’s serene environment and amenities—a perfect combination of nature, culture, and comfort.

Located about 2.5 hours from Quito airport, Mindo Coffee Lodge & Spa is surprisingly accessible. The lodge can assist with transportation, making your arrival and departure easy.
