Nicaragua Travel Expert

Nicaragua is where we turn whenever we need to indulge our adventurous side – for where else in the world can you ashboard down the slope of an active volcano? But a tailormade vacation in Nicaragua isn’t all about the adventure. Wind your way through colonial city streets and meander up mangroves that sing with vibrant birdsong to hideaway on private islands reminiscent of the Caribbean of days gone by.

MORE ABOUT NICARAGUA

During its fraught civil war in the 1970s, Nicaragua became the byword for destabilisation and the machinations of cold and calculating men. It was during this period that Susan Meiselas took a now iconic photograph, of a member of the country’s rebel faction throwing – in mid act – a petrol bomb, while clasping a machine gun in the other. These days, Nicaragua has shrugged off its bloody past, and enters the world a far more stable, and inviting, place than such images suggest. A beautiful landscape of dense mangroves, moody volcanoes and warm-sanded beaches, Nicaragua – between the its Spanish colonial architecture and vibrant street culture – is quickly becoming a go-to vacation destination for the culturally curious. Care to join them?

Plump pelicans on the branch; deep, lush rainforest; mouthfuls of moreish quesillo. Nicaragua is as peaceful today as it was once violent. Many who come here are in search of its adventurous side, among the mountain lakes and verdant volcanoes which dominant this unswervingly beautiful landscape.

Private Island Nicaragua

ON A PRIVATE ISLAND

The four beachfront suites that occupy by private island of Calala - laying just off the Nicaraguan Coast in the warm Caribbean Sea - are a step back in time, without forgoing any of the five star panache that we’ve come to expect. Getting here is only possible by planes, boats - or helicopters. Understandably, privacy is the order of the day. When you open you door in the morning, there will be nobody interrupting your slice of beach and the sea that swells beyond it.

IN THE HACIENDA

This luxury hacienda and eco-lodge is nestled on a private beach fringed by the Nicaraguan jungle. Morgan’s Rock, as it is known, is a genuinely secluded paradise from which to watch (slack jawed) the sun sinks into the beguiling Pacific Ocean. Craggy cliffs, warm bays and buzzing rainforest make for a truly remote and pastoral escape from it all. This is the true meaning of ‘logging off.’
