Traction — Proof Points

The single most important fact for an investor: this business already worked.

In its first operating period (December 2023 through 2024) the Sanctuary hosted more than 96 guests from over 15 countries — France, Germany, USA, UK, Australia, Austria, Netherlands, Italy, Canada, Chile, Mexico, Japan, China, Peru and others — including individual bookings through Booking.com and Airbnb and a 20-person retreat group, at premium nightly rates.

The closure was caused by weather, not demand. The 2024 storm, drought, and wind hurricanes damaged 12 villa roofs, the yoga hall, and two of three water pumps, and the forced shutdown cost the property its booking flow and trained team.

This is what de-risks the restart. The raise does not test whether guests will come. It restarts a property that has already shown they will — and that did so before any of the marketing, programming, or conservation-led positioning in this plan was in place.

9.0★★★★★
"A paradise to rest and enjoy the tranquility and nature."
A very quiet place in the middle of nature. Private cabins and very nice. The sounds at night, amazing! Plenty of room to rest, do yoga, bathe on a lake or go with the canoe. The people are very friendly and made sure we felt good.

"Amazing jungle experience — definitely worth it."
Gabi and her family were very attentive and made sure we were getting the best service. Beautiful surroundings, a magical lake, and the lounge itself create unforgettable memories. Falling asleep hearing the jungle noises was one of a kind. Breakfast was big and delicious.
