Anima Eco Lodge
OUR
STORY
How an untouched hillside above Mawun became a place where architecture, nature, and slow living converge.
How It Began
A PLACE
FOUND BY FEELING
Anima began with a piece of land — wild, steep, and entirely overlooked. Above the hills of Mawun, with the ocean stretching out below and jungle pressing in from all sides, it was the kind of place that asks to be felt before it is understood.
What followed was not a development project. It was a conversation — between the founders, the land, the local craftspeople, and the bamboo that now defines every structure here. A slow, deliberate process of building something that belonged.
The result is Anima: ten unique villas, a wellness hub, and a yoga shala — each designed to disappear into the landscape they inhabit.

Living Lightly
OUR ECO-CONSCIOUS
APPROACH
We are committed to operating Anima Eco Lodge with greater care for the natural environment. We invite our guests to support these efforts through a few simple, thoughtful choices during their stay.
⚡
ENERGY
Turn off the air conditioning and lights when leaving the villa. Keep doors and windows closed while the air conditioning is operating.
💧
WATER
Be mindful of water consumption, particularly when showering. Every drop counts in our hillside environment.
🛏
TOWEL & LINES
Reuse towels where possible and request replacements only when needed. A small habit with a meaningful impact.
🚰
DRINKING WATER
Use the provided refillable drinking-water system to reduce plastic-bottle consumption throughout your stay.
♻️
WASTE
Place rubbish in the correct bins and avoid leaving waste in natural areas, the jungle, or the surrounding landscape.
🌱
REDUCING PLASTIC
Avoid unnecessary single-use plastics whenever possible. We are continuously reducing our own plastic footprint.
