Tanusas was born in 2012 when Samih Sawiris and his wife Goya Gallagher built their beach house in this special place in Ecuador’s Manabí’s Province. After meeting Dayra Reyes and Rodrigo Pacheco, they decided to turn the entire 47 hectares of land into a unique and regenerative project, where well-being and sustainable development are at the core.

“Our vision extends beyond the limits of Tanusas. We aim to protect the environment, create a positive social impact and immerse people in unique cultural experiences.”



Authenticity Through Community

We therefore collaborate closely with local artisans, agronomists, and other custodians of local culture to maintain and celebrate its essence. Most of our collaborators are born and raised in the local towns of Puerto Cayo, Puerto la Boca, El Jurón and Cantagallo. They are perfectly familiar with every corner of the territory and its surroundings, taking advantage of their knowledge and their abilities to create unique experiences for our guests.
