An exceptional opportunity to acquire one of Ecuador's most unique hospitality and land investment offerings: a remarkable 17-hectare eco-retreat estate featuring a fully operational luxury resort, ecological reserve, waterfalls, rivers, and an approved residential subdivision project with 95 lots.
Located in the lush tropical landscape of Santo Domingo de los Tsáchilas, approximately three scenic hours from Quito and four hours from Guayaquil, this extraordinary property combines proven hospitality operations with substantial land development potential in one of Ecuador's most biodiverse regions.
A Rare Natural Asset
The property encompasses approximately 17 hectares, including:
• Established Eco-Resort and Ecological Reserve
• Four natural waterfalls
• A spectacular 12-meter waterfall and lagoon
• Ecological trails through tropical forest
• Fishing lagoon

• Natural green spaces and conservation areas
• Proximity to rivers and protected natural environments

An Exceptional Eco-Resort Crafted Over Nearly Two Decades
At the heart of the property lies a remarkable eco-resort unlike anything else currently available in Ecuador.
Rather than a conventional hotel, Kashama has been thoughtfully developed as a collection of interconnected compounds, gardens, terraces, waterfalls, and wellness spaces that blend seamlessly into the surrounding tropical landscape. Every structure was designed to complement the natural environment, creating a destination that feels more like a private luxury retreat than a commercial hospitality operation.
The architecture reflects a timeless commitment to craftsmanship and natural materials. Stone floors, exposed wood-beam ceilings, handcrafted stucco walls, custom stonework, and carefully integrated architectural details create an atmosphere of understated luxury throughout the property. Pathways wind through lush tropical gardens, crossing streams, waterfalls, and natural gathering spaces that invite guests to slow down and reconnect with nature.
The guest accommodations range from modern, accessible suites to premium luxury suites featuring custom stone spa elements and private wellness features. Many rooms enjoy views of tropical vegetation, waterfalls, lagoons, and the surrounding forest, creating an immersive experience that is increasingly rare in today's hospitality market.
What is most impressive, however, is the scale and cohesion of the entire compound. The resort unfolds across multiple levels and distinct zones, each with its own purpose while remaining connected by thoughtful landscaping and natural design. Guests move effortlessly between wellness areas, dining venues, pools, terraces, waterfalls, relaxation spaces, and ecological trails, all without ever losing sight of the property's natural beauty.
For investors seeking a wellness retreat, luxury eco-lodge, private members' club, corporate retreat center, transformational travel destination, or lifestyle estate, the resort provides an exceptional foundation already in place, surrounded by some of the most beautiful natural scenery in the region.
