Between jungle and sea, Al Natural Resort has created for you a comfortable and private retreat, perfectly integrated into the lush tropical environment. The resort elegantly combines the ancestral craftsmanship of the Ngobe-bugle indians with new technologies that allow them to harvest energy from the sun and limit the impact on the eco-system.
The bungalows are situated on a secluded beach surrounded by luxuriant vegetation, close to the Bastimentos Island National Marine Park. In order to provide each guest with maximum privacy, it is their goal to maintain an intimate scale for the resort, with a projected maximum of nine bungalows.
All the bungalows are stilt houses and provide occupants with uninterrupted views of the sea and surrounding flora and fauna. There are two levels of accommodation: Natural House and Natural House de Luxe.
