Costa Dulce
This renowned eco-lodge has the magic formula for a perfect Nicaragua holiday: surf, yoga, hiking, natural spa and the best local food.
Accommodations
Costa Dulce grew very naturally and did so in the middle of nature. Each of the 12 beach bungalows and cabins has been designed with surrounding trees and plants taken into account and in some cases, the trees grow through the building. All have been built to take advantage of the local Papagayo winds to keep you cool without using too much electricity. The eco-lodge greywater is processed and used to water our garden and grow food for guests. Rustic luxury describes the bungalows and cabins the best. There are no televisions or air conditioning but stunning views, balconies with hammocks, big beds and warm water showers. In addition to the private bungalows and cabins, Costa Dulce consists of several inviting shared spaces. All accommodations are built around the central dining area, where something tasty is always being whipped up in the Dulce Cocina.
