The soft green country of Nicaragua is among the most striking places on Earth. It is also one of Mother Nature’s best-kept secrets.

Yet it is in the country’s southwestern reaches-along an exquisite 30-mile stretch of Pacific shoreline dotted with pristine jungles, rising cliffs, charming fishing villages and sandy beaches- where Nicaragua shines brightest. In a region to become known the world over as the Emerald Coast. And standing out as crown jewel of this wonderful coastline is Guacalito de la Isla- Nicaragua’s first sustainable five-star residential resort destination.
The Lure of a Lush and Private Eden
Along a four-mile sweep of land ranging from the arched sands of Bahía Salinas to the half-moon curve of Manzanillo Beach, comes the private residential enclave of Guacalito de la Isla (a Pellas’s property). Guacalito’s 1,670 acres will embrace a boutique hotel, a Beach Club, marina, an exceptional hiking and biking trail system, private golf course and a world-class spa. Beyond the pleasures of beach and bluff, of sea and forest, Guacalito de la Isla will deliver exciting ocean activities, eco-sports, jungle excursions and cultural pursuits as well as altruistic opportunities, multigenerational experiences for the whole family and a limited collection of luxurious eco-tropical residences- all just two hours from Managua.
Project Principles
Five unique design principles will form the foundation of Guacalito de la Isla:
-
PHILANTHROPY
Launch Central America’s premier group of prestigious and philanthropic properties.
-
SUSTAINABILITY
Create a socially and environmentally sustainable destination that promotes the well-being of owners, guests, employees and the local community; advocates green living; and sets the new standard for the Emerald Coast.
-
CONNECTION TO NATURE
Fashion a unique eco-luxe camp environment that embraces the nature of Nicaragua through organic indoor/outdoor architecture, evocative design and an immense walking trail system featuring a variety of discovery outposts.
-
OCEAN AWARENESS
Establish an appreciation for the Pacific via an expansive beach club offering a range of water pursuits, a family fishing club, and a Resident-funded ocean preservation program.
-
FAMILY
Foster an enriching multigenerational lifestyle by way of a world-class spa, an all-ages championship golf course, family-friendly activities as well as cultural programs that explore the local folklore, art, music and cuisine.
Together, these five principles will guide the vision for a luxurious yet exotic living environment where fortunate families live lightly on the land, learn to appreciate the rich nature and culture of Nicaragua, and strengthen the all-important bonds of family and community.
