A Turnkey Boutique Lodge on Nicaragua’s Emerald Coast
The lodge sits in a quiet, green setting where howler monkeys are part of the daily soundtrack, yet the beach is only a 5 to 10 minute walk away through the trees. Guests enjoy an à la carte breakfast each morning, a pool surrounded by tropical greenery, and communal spaces designed for relaxed indoor-outdoor living. It is an ideal base for surf travelers, yoga retreats and eco-conscious visitors, and the property is also well suited to small group retreats and events.
