Aqua Oceanfront Resort and Residences at Redonda Bay

Located in the beautifully wild landscape of Nicaragua’s Pacific “Emerald Coast” with a private white-sand beach, our 44 luxurious treehouse villas dot Aqua’s forested hillside, which overlooks a private, white sandy beach. Some of the Tree House accommodations feature kitchens, and incredible plunge pools that make it difficult to even consider leaving the deck. The lush forest that envelops Aqua is alive with spider and howler monkeys, and a wide variety of colorful tropical birds. Aqua is the perfect spot for a destination wedding, a honeymoon, an active family vacation -- or a serene getaway where you can enjoy nature and one of the most idyllic beaches in Nicaragua. Wellness services such as spa treatments, yoga, and meditation, coupled with fresh and tasty international and Nicaraguan fare in our restaurant and beach bar, create an enjoyable “barefoot luxury” experience for guests. Eco-friendly practices are well ingrained in the Aqua experience, and for those who appreciate and support sustainable, environmentally friendly travel, this is where you want to book. Aqua surpasses the standards and services of other luxury resorts while operating in an environmentally responsible manner. The staff is accommodating and friendly. While Aqua’s peaceful seclusion is perfect for an off-the-grid escape, the resort offers adventure as well: You can hike a 300-foot cliff and rappel down, or learn to surf on neighboring Playa Gigante, both within walking distance of Aqua. If you want to venture out for a day, we can arrange for a boat excursion to one of Nicaragua’s best surf breaks for surfing, or to its deep-sea waters for fishing. Perhaps a round of golf, horseback riding, exploring Nicaragua’s famous lakes and volcanoes, or its colorful colonial city of Granada, just an hour and a half away. When you return to the resort just in time to enjoy a spectacular ocean sunset, you’ll discover why Aqua is Central America’s premier luxury resort.

Honeymoon at Aqua

Reviewed By P994WAlaurenh

This place is absolutely amazing! I have nothing but great things to say about it. It’s beautiful. It’s relaxing. It has everything you need to rest and unwind from your busy life. My husband and I went here on our honeymoon and loved it! The staff is friendly. They go above and beyond. Anything you need - they will make it happen. They make you feel like family. The food was fantastic at the restaurant. We ate there twice a day. I highly recommend the chicken nachos. The spa was excellent. My husband and I both got two massages over the course of our stay. We got the Amour package (exfoliation + Swedish massage) and hot oil treatments. We also went horseback riding but I highly recommend you have some experience with horses first before you sign up because my husband fell off the horse during the ride! Lol. He’s OK and it was nobody’s fault - just an accident. But I wanted to share that with you as a word of caution. The beach is beautiful. The waves are small and the water is warm - perfect for relaxing. We stayed in the Xenia LS tree house. It has a remarkable view of the ocean with a private pool and kitchen. There’s also a wrap around balcony with lounge chairs. We saw howler monkeys, raccoons, crabs and beautiful birds. Also, there’s an adorable dog on the premises that you will see from time to time. Everything is high up on the mountain so get used to walking a lot. It’s a great workout and totally worth it. We went hiking to playa gigante and took tons of pictures. Everything is green, beautiful and the real deal - a real rainforest. It’s absolutely amazing and we can’t wait to go back.

Rancho Santana

Rancho Santana, set serenely in the Southwest Pacific offers a collection of distinctive seaside experiences. Though little more than two hours from Nicaragua's capital city of Managua by car, the property has grown into a quiet community that enjoys purity, authenticity, and a somehow romantically rustic elegance. Both residential and resort, "the ranch" boasts over 2,700 acres of majestic land along two miles of shoreline which include five unique beaches. And while this paradise is the perfect setting to do nothing at all but sunbathe and stargaze, its remarkable range of terrain, unique climate and soothing coastal breezes make it a coveted destination for the more active and adventurous traveler. Tucked between the open sea and the immense Lake Nicaragua, "the ranch" has the distinction of being one of the only isthmuses on the entire Pacific Ocean. This unique geographical phenomenon creates gentle tropical breezes, which when paired with year-round warm ocean waters make the beaches' surfing conditions some of the most coveted on the planet. With the early sunrise, "shredders" of all ages and origins take to the breaks of Las Cinco Playas de Rancho Santana, which include some of the world's most vertical waves, providing both visual drama as well as world-class surfing. Lookers-on walk the water's edge watching the surfers dance across the waves while just yards behind them fisherman bring in what will be the evening's fresh catch in the clubhouse's renowned restaurant, La Finca y el Mar.

One of the best places on earth!

Reviewed By carladawes

Rancho Santana is a very special place. We've been back several times now, and each time it keeps getting better. The newest addition: the Spa, is beautiful and peaceful and incredible. We just love making memories with our family at Rancho. Whether it's some sangria on the patio, some fun swims, sandboarding at Playa Duna, sweating it out in the gym at Fun Limon, or the delicious food at ALL the F&B offerings......just perfection!

Hotel Punta Teonoste

Welcome to Punta Teonoste. We created a place in which to reconnect with the pure energy of the elements, in a setting of incredible natural beauty. It's our desire to make you indulge into the luxury of an unspoilt surrounding, to see you enjoy our stylish yet cozy atmosphere, the delicious food and the various activities. At the end of your stay we want you to leave with a relaxed smile on your face and a heart full of unforgettable moments. Nicaragua is a year-around destination. All seasons are great for diving and surfing or exploring land and culture. While the months from December to May are completely dry, the months from June to November can produce the typical tropical rain showers which makes the surroundings lush and green. A setting of rock formations, small bushes and trees as well as the ocean promote the significant life forces of nature's energy and welcome you to enjoy your stay with all senses. Punta Teonoste is intimate and relaxed, offering an emotionally intelligent approach to service that begins with empathy. The responsible and caring attitude of Punta Teonoste is the key to an unobtrusive yet attentive service that makes guests feel right at home.

Beautiful Destination Wedding

Reviewed By haylees817

Our family loved our stay at this private resort. They went over and above to make our daughter's wedding amazing. They took care of all of the details and we just had to show up. The decorations, food, and beach location were above and beyond our expectations. They even arranged for our transportation to and from Managua. It was such a beautiful relaxing place to have a wedding. We enjoyed our separate bungalows so everyone could have their personal space but still gather at the beach, pool or main building for time together. The food was delicious and the staff was very professional. An odd favorite, was the outdoor bathrooms...they sound strange but were so beautiful, natural, and elegant at the same time. We highly recommend this resort for a chance to get away and relax at their private beach. This was an amazing resort at very affordable price. It is a great choice for weddings, family reunions, or quiet getaways. Hint: stay at their sister hotel in Managua, Hotel Los Robles, if you need somewhere to stay before and after your flights.

Vibra Guesthouse

Perfect for me in Playa Guasacate

Reviewed By wkspen

My experience at Vibra Guesthouse was perfect. Communication with Carolina, the manager, was easy. She assisted with my reservation and was a great resource for information about the area - things to do an places to eat. The cabina was just as described on their website. Traveling solo, it I was perfect for me. The kitchen is well-equipped - although I did not cook as much as intended on my 4N stay. I will next time. The new blender did come in handy for smoothies and drinks! The living area/loft/bathroom was also well-equipped. There were several fans and plenty of outlets for devices. Extra towels in the bathroom w/ soap and the like. The bed was comfortable and linens were fresh. Good internet. The outdoor patio was the highlight and where I spent most of my time. It has two tables, hammocks and, a couple of bench seats. It is shaded and is a great spot to hang-out. Everything is kept-up and in tidy condition. Red Pepper next door has a really good Chicken Curry on Sunday nights for $8. I had a great chicken and onion calzone down the beach at Viento Este Pizza and a good hamburger at Casitas Pacifica. Great pastries right next door to Vibra. The Market has just about what one might need. Walked the beach in both directions and visited the plunge pools one morning. It was very laid back in Playa Guasacate and not many people - just what I needed. Will definitely stay longer next visit.

A relaxing oasis

The cabañas were the perfect relaxing oasis from our usual city vacations. The beach was right in from of us and every night we enjoyed a magnificent sunset. We borrowed surf boards and ripped around beginners bay which was just a 10 minute walk down the beach. Everything was perfect.

Killer views, stunning location

Reviewed By Mark G

The views are truly stunning. You can watch people surfing from your bed! Staff are friendly, most speak English if you need it. It is as the name suggests a big surfer crowd, all laid back and just fine with us old folks in their midst. It sits between 2 great surf beached one great for beginners, one full of fun for the more experienced. If you are older like us walking on the beach, swimming, exploring rock pools on the Magnific Rock itself are all excellent. The food is top notch. Lost of breakfast selections, smoothies. Burgers to Lobster at lunch and dinner. I had Lobster, at $24 i expected a half a lobster, but I received 1 and a half! Cooked to perfection on the grill. I love this place and keep coming back. To top it off for an Aussie it is run by Australians and we were offered Vegemite with our toast :-)

I didn't stay at the place to sleep but went out for dinner and the food was amazing! Great atmosphere and the people who work there are very friendly. Highly recommend the pizza gorgonzola, the best! Everything is very clean, good value for food and the pool is gorgeous. The owner even brought us to our hostel when we didn't feel like walking back. Thank you for the lovely evening, keep up the good work!
