Company information

We have lived on the island since 2007 and founded Totoco Eco-lodge, Xalli Beach Hotel and now Ananda Guesthouse. We are focused on offering guests the most comfortable stay on the island that is also highly sustainable!

Property information

We are slowly realizing our dream of creating a luxury off-grid boutique guest house on the incredible island of Ometepe. Part of our dream is to have numerous edible organic gardens around the property. We give priority to the creation of ecologically sound processes to minimize our footprint this includes deriving 100% of our energy needs from the sun, solar heated hot water, using bio-digestors to process our black water, gray water leech fields, LED lighting used throughout, organic farming, 100% local labor.

Neighbourhood information

We are located in the quaint village of Balgue which has a population of +/-6,000 people and is is located on the Maderas Volcano side of the island. Surprisingly the village has a some truly incredible restaurants and local comedors. Balgue is developing into one of the main tourist hubs on the island due to its friendly people, wonderful location to hikes, access to coffee plantations, cultural importance and abundance of flora and fauna.
