START YOUR JUNGLE ADVENTURE

Do you dream of watching monkeys from your front door and falling asleep to the sounds of the ocean as you sleep amongst the trees in a tropical rainforest? You think you are the right one to try out a new jungle adventure? If so, join our treehouse community and come to our stunning Eco Lodge in Panama, LA SELVA at Nomad Tree Lodge!

We are an Eco Lodge in Bocas del Toro, Panama, just steps away from two amazing intermediate/advanced surf breaks – Paunch (10 min walk) and Tiger Tail (front yard), where the jungle meets the sea. Aside from that, we will offer morning yoga classes starting in September 2026, alongside  a jungle pool and frequent animal sightings.

Sehr freundliches, entgegenkommendes Personal. Meine Partnerin und ich sind nach unserem ersten Aufenthalt direkt wieder gekommen. Sehr menschlich, ehrlich, direkt und unkompliziert. Es ist während unserem Aufenthalt zu einem perziellen Ausfall der Wasserversorgung gekommen, weshalb wir etwas weiter laufen mussten um zu den Toiletten / Duschen zu kommen. Dies ist aber kein Problem für mich, und des weiteren wird in der Beschreibung des Hotels vor solchen Unannehmlichkeiten gewarnt. Ein Abenteuer halt ;). Ich empfehle diesen Ort ohne zu zögern.

If you enjoy nature La Selva is the perfect place to stay. Mariella was so pleasant and kind to check on me when I didn’t arrive on my scheduled day to make sure I was ok and safe and didn’t charge me for that day. That was nice of her. The staff was friendly and very attentive. They have great yoga classes, the place was very clean, and a very comfy mattress all around a great experience. A must-visit in Bocas del Toró. The property is tucked in the jungle and steps away from the beach. Paradise I loved every about my stay at La Selva.

Some of the best time of my year trip was spend in this beautiful place where I was staying for 1 month and 1 week, always very well-treated. The staff was amazing, the owner (Lilly) was an wonderful person who took well-care of me and my girlfriend. It's very well located for people who want to have a good time between the jungle and the beach. The best beaches in Colon Island are right there for either people who just want to lay down on the beach or people who wants to surf. Literally a 5min (or even less) walk until you get to the beach. The daily atmosphere was surreal: Toucans, Monkeys and many beautiful animals and birds around. Don't hesitate to come here, you won't regret at all.

Amazing place, its even hard to describe the beauty that surrounds you when you stay in La Selva. Monkeys walking around the property, tucans and parots joing you during your yoga session in the most spectacular yoga shala I had opportunity to practice. Houses are very comfortable, delicious breakfast and nice stuff. Its so far the best place that I have stayed in. Pure nature. Highly recommend to everybody ♥️♥️♥️

Die Gastgeberin ist sehr freundlich und hilft bei Fragen gern weiter. Die Lodges sind ein Traum. Super simpel, aber ausreichend eingerichtet. Wir hatten ein shared bathroom, das hat uns gereicht. Der Pool ist klasse, ebenso wie das Yoga Angebot vor Ort. Das Frühstück kann für wenig Geld dazu gebucht werden und schmeckt einfach himmlisch. Es war toll dort ein paar Nächte zu bleiben und die Natur so pur und nahe zu erleben.

Leuk verblijf midden in de jungle. We werden hartelijk ontvangen en hebben drie fijne dagen gehad. We moesten wel even wennen aan de junglegeluiden!

Die Baumhäuser sind super süß und gemütlich, mitten im Dschungel & trotzdem kommen keine Tiere in die Hütten. Auch der Gemeinschaftsbereich mit Pool ist sehr schön! Für Surfer ist die Unterkunft perfekt gelegen, ein richtiger Badestrand ist aber nicht fußläufig erreichbar. Man kommt aber für 3-4$ p.P. mit dem Taxi nach Bocas Town und von da auch relativ günstig mit dem Boot zu anderen Inseln/Stränden.

This place is all the pictures show and more. If you are looking for out of the ordinary stay with a wow factor, look no further. From the setting, to the accommodations, the grounds this place has it all & more. I stayed in cabin 16 (the one pictured in the main image) & loved it. Lilly has an amazing set up, from the grounds to accommodations, but most of all great and attentive staff, Chris & Vic, and the rest do the staff Naima, Gabriela, Gala, Chris, Mariella) were very welcoming & helpful with any questions I had. Its well worth mentioning Chris is an amazing cook, with a clear passion for it. Gabriela & Mariella offer morning yoga practices which I found was a great way to start the day. I hope I didnt forget anything or anyone. All in all if I didnt book my next destination I would have stayed longer. I have nothing but praise for Lilly & her unique La Salva!

La Selva is a place you don't want to leave! Lovely people, in the middle of the jungle in Colon. Cabins are very clean with ventilator to help you have a good sleep. If you like to be in wilderness area, this is the place you need to book! Thanks for this great experience that we will not forget!

Very nice experience and clean accommodations. Everything was as advertised. Short walk to the beach. Certainly check around for places to eat, some are closed certain days of the week. Overall, everything was top notch and friendly staff. Certainly recommend this if you want a relatively raw jingle experience with the basic necessities.

Wow wow wow! Nothing but wonderful things to say about this lovely gem. From the moment we stepped foot on the property, such good and happy vibes. We were greeted so warmly and felt very welcomed. The wonderful yoga in the morning was exactly what I needed to relax and recharge. We were fed a yummy and healthy breakfast every morning. Rinsed off in a hot shower and slept so well adorable cabin each night. Lilly and the entire staff made this stay feel all worth while. <3 The jungle vibe is the way to go! Especially with all the good energy surrounding it. I highly recommend!! Cannot wait to return :)

PAUNCH BEACH

The neighborhood of our LA SELVA eco lodge in Panama is one of the best locations on Isla Colón. We are only a 10-15 min cab from town, and the ocean is right at the end of our driveway. You will find beautiful secret swimming spots, several beach clubs, and a couple of our favorite restaurants on the island are within a 10 minute walk from the lodge. 
Located right after the “end of the road”, this is the place where all of the good stuff begins. If town is too loud for you and you’re looking to be away from the party – then this is your place to unplug and settle into nature.
