Set on the banks of Anavilhanas, the world’s largest fresh water archipelago, the lodge is touched by the Rio Negro (Black River) and lies within a vast stretch of untouched rainforest. 

Accommodation & Facilities 

All accommodation at Anavilhanas is air-conditioned and tastefully furnished. The 16 suites include fridges, balconies and bathrooms with hot and cold water. The four luxury bungalows are located on a hill above the suites and feature king size beds, 32 inch LCD TVs, mini-bars and balconies with views over the Rio Negro and National Park. The architecture at Anavilhanas Lodge is in keeping with the regional tradition; hay and suspended wooden structures are found throughout, and contemporary designs constructed in natural materials bring a homespun feel to the lodge.

The lodge also features a reception/ bar area, a library with comfortable chairs and gaming tables, and a restaurant set amidst trees.
