The Anaula Nature Resort is located within a beautiful patch of rainforest on a secluded island in the upper Suriname River. The resort is about 4 and half hours by road from Paramaribo, 2 hours by boat or 40 minutes by air.
The lodge is in a perfect location to explore the surrounding Amazonian rainforest and see some exciting wildlife and experience the fascinating Maroon communities’ culture of this region.
