“Hi Heidi! thanks so much for the pictures. We are at Laguna del Apoyo right now. A beautiful spot … but in my opinion we haven’t found a nicer spot than your place. Therefore, would it be possible to stay our last two nights in Nicaragua at your place? We would love to enjoy your food again and spend our last days at the beautiful pacifico.”
AIRBNB REVIEW “This place is simply amazing. The cabana was super clean and very nicely designed with an eye to every detail. The bed was super comfortable and the Eco-friendly building style with lots of bamboo made us feel as we were part of the jungle around. The location is awesome. Positioned between two of the most beautiful beaches we have ever experienced. Amazing surf, turtle nesting and hatching station, pelicans gliding over waves, snorkeling, with amazing views over the pacific ocean and in a private safe community in the jungle so that we could wake up to the sound of howler monkeys, the location is just perfect for a paradise getaway. We can recommend the healthy breakfast and dinner with local products and freshly caught fish and octopus. Surf Boards and snorkeling equipment is available. Check in and communication was very good. We can really recommend this place and planning to come back in the future. - Jonas & Steph from Germany”

Sustainable eco-tropical architectural design. This construction is creative and elegant, a step up from your usual surf retreat and unlike no other in Nicaragua. Our primary focus has been on creating a sustainable example for Nicaragua using bamboo and other sustainable materials. Bamboo has never been regarded as a quality building material by Nicaraguans so we aim to change the perception in Nicaragua showcasing the amazing strength and durability of bamboo. Come connect with nature in one of Nicaragua´s undeveloped and best kept secrets of the country.
Our Motto: Always Be Learning.
We strive to teach our guests the art of simple, sustainable, balanced living. Together, we indulge in life's simple pleasures and experience authentic cultural emergence in our lush, Nicaraguan sanctuary. We begin each day by clearing our minds through holistic practices and surf, and end by pampering ourselves with nutritious meals and hammock therapy. We elect to join with nature by sharing dreams beneath a star-lit canopy and getting our hands dirty in the same organic garden in which we enjoy our meals. We don’t take life too seriously, yet we constantly seek personal growth. There are no "goodbyes, instead we ask When will we see you again?”
