When you remove the hardware, what remains?

At Armadilla, we’ve come to understand that the true core of hospitality lies in the hands of the operators, the dreamers, builders, and hosts who want to do more than accommodate.

They want to create. They want to welcome.

They’re not buying structures.

They’re investing in a sense of place. A sense of purpose. A future that feels just as flexible as it is beautiful.

We exist to empower that vision.

With every unit, every innovation, and every decision, we ask: does this help an operator shape a place that matters? And can that place evolve with time?

Because it’s not about the Pod. It’s about the person shaping what it becomes.

Built to belong in nature.

We don’t build to stand out—we build to fit in, beautifully.

Each Armadilla unit is crafted with deep respect for its surroundings—designed to sit in harmony with the land, not in contrast to it.

From form to finish, every curve, corner, and connection is shaped with care, so it feels like it was always meant to be there.

This is luxury without excess. Strength without ego.

A space that offers serenity, shelter, and a sense of belonging—no matter how remote the setting.

Because when nature sets the stage, we build with reverence.

Built to endure. Built to elevate.

Built to belong in nature.

What makes a hotel room… better?
A hotel room, reinvented.

At Armadilla, we asked ourselves that—and built from scratch:

→More privacy
→More character
→More control for guests
→More flexibility for operators

Every Pod includes a floating super-king bed, smart climate control, and a full ensuite. It’s compact, but complete.

And it delivers an experience most hotel rooms just can’t match.

Every journey begins with a single step.

And ours?

It was filled with equal parts excitement, uncertainty, and an unyielding drive to make things happen.

We still remember those early days.

→Building from scratch
→Figuring things out on the fly
→Betting on ourselves, even when the odds weren’t clear

Those humble beginnings shaped everything.

They taught us the power of persistence.

The courage to take risks.

And the reminder that big dreams often start with small, imperfect steps.

Looking back, we wouldn’t trade that messy, meaningful start for anything.

“We want to grow, but without losing the soul of the place.”

We hear that a lot.

From boutique resorts. Wellness retreats. Nature-based stays.

And honestly? We love that challenge.

At Woodlands Glencoe, they needed to expand fast — but with zero compromise on the guest experience.

So we designed luxury units that enhanced the natural setting.

Quiet on the landscape. High impact on the experience. Built off-site, installed seamlessly — with no disruption to the energy that makes the place what it is.

Over in Portugal, Juicy Oasis had a different ask:

“How do we create more space for reflection, without losing our essence?”

We delivered bespoke accommodation that felt cocooned, grounding, and spa-like. Natural materials. Clean, minimal lines. Every unit designed to invite stillness.

These aren’t just structures. They’re part of the atmosphere.

That’s the space we work in:
Where design supports presence — and place becomes memory.

Want to explore what that could look like for your space?

Let’s talk.

Hospitality should be for everyone. That’s where the Kurv comes in.

A fully accessible, family-friendly unit that doesn’t compromise on luxury:

→ Sleeps up to 6

→ Smart climate & lighting control

→ Flexible interiors tailored to your site

→ DDA compliant

Inclusive design isn’t optional—it’s essential.

We don’t do fast and forgettable.

We build with intent—every joint, seam, and surface crafted by people who care about how it holds, how it feels, and how it lasts.

Because when your brand is on the line, quality isn’t optional—it’s everything.

From first impression to final inspection, our spaces carry strength, beauty, and pride in every detail.

Built with purpose. Built to perform. Built like it matters—because it does.

Farewell Dee!

Today we say goodbye to our wonderful Executive Assistant, Dee – the cheeriest, kindest, most all-round lovely person you could ever hope to work with.

From day one, Dee has brought warmth, positivity, and a can-do spirit to everything she’s touched here at Armadilla. Whether she was keeping things running smoothly behind the scenes or lifting the mood with her trademark smile, Dee has been the heartbeat of the team.

Now she’s off to pursue an exciting new chapter in marketing – and while we’re going to miss her a lot, we couldn’t be prouder. This next step is just the beginning, and we know she’s going to shine even brighter.

Thank you, Dee – for everything. Go smash it!💯

Running a business with family isn’t always easy.

But it’s one of the most rewarding journeys we’ve ever been on.
Some days, the lines blur between home and work.

And honestly?
That’s where the magic happens.

We don’t just share a business —
We share a legacy.

One built on:
→ Trust
→ Passion
→ And genuine care for each other

It’s not just about what we build.
It’s about how we build it — together.

Family businesses carry something special.

A heartbeat you can’t replicate.
A bond that shows up in every decision, every detail, every handshake.

Curious — how do you blend family and professional life?
We’d love to hear your story.

The art of decision-making.

It’s not always black and white.

In business, every decision counts.

Big or small, each one shapes the path forward.

Over time, I’ve learned something powerful:
→The best choice isn’t always the easiest one.
→It’s the one that stays true to your core values and long-term vision.

It’s a balancing act:
→Data vs. intuition
→Strategy vs. heart
→Logic vs. gut

And sometimes?

You just have to quiet the noise… and trust yourself.

Because aligned decisions create aligned outcomes.

So I’m curious —what guides your decision-making process?
Let’s share and learn from each other.
