Luxury Beachfront Villa at Playa Manzanillo
Playa Manzanillo, Emerald Coast, Nicaragua
Exclusive five-bedroom luxury retreat on the beach with two surf breaks out front at Nicaragua’s Playa Manzanillo.
The term “luxurious” gets thrown around a lot, but at this exclusive retreat, we mean it. Sitting on an idyllic stretch of Nicaraguan coastline, the five bedroom residence is an all-inclusive stay right on the beach.
This serene surf villa is a spacious 13,000 square feet awash in serene tones and marked by architectural details like bamboo lined ceilings and cool stone floors. Able to accommodate up to 14 people, this is the perfect place for a luxury family surf vacation or a group of friends who enjoy the finer things in life. And because this is a beachfront private villa, the communal spaces are indoor-outdoor living when you want them to be, and enclosed with A/C on blast when you need that too.
Front and center to Manzanillo surf break, go from villa to ocean to pool in a flash without losing sight of the beautiful coastline at any point. It truly feels like you’ve found a hidden paradise at this luxury retreat villa – all you have to do is arrive.
When Manzanillo out front isn’t your first choice for surf, explore some of the nearby gems like Popoyo and Playa Colorado. With 10 world-class breaks within 30 miles, consistent swells, and Nicaragua’s legendary 300+ offshore days a year, you’re bound to have some darn good options.

Features
Inside
The single story villa’s interior is contemporary Latin American with mid century modern touches found in the tile accents and furniture (we see you, wishbone chairs). The smooth plastered walls are offset by textured, bamboo lined ceilings and stone floors. Everything feels fresh and clean without feeling too modern or austere.
Outside
This villa is front and center to the beach, Manzanillo to be precise, so the surfing potential is Grade-A. The beautiful and long stretch of coast features plenty of sand, swaying palm trees, and green hills on either side of the protected beach. Onsite, find a private semi-Olympic infinity pool and lounge deck practically touching the sand.
Eat & Drink
Your stay includes all meals and drinks (including adult beverages) with an in-house chef for every meal so you can have the ultimate care-free vacation. Don’t forget about the massive beverage fridge stocked with champs, wine, and beer, because vacation. If you want to venture away from the house, check out Guacalito de la Isla’s restaurants and bars.
The Surf
With 300+ days of offshore winds, Nicaragua is well known for its abundance of amazing waves and surf conditions on offer. While the main surf season runs from March to August when consistent and sizable south swells greet the Emerald Coast, surf can be found just about anytime of the year. This exclusive retreat is in a perfect location to take advantage of the area’s best surf. There’s over 15 quality waves within 30 miles, and right in front of the villa is an ideal beginner break and a short walk along the beach is an epic left point break (Manzanillo) for intermediate and advanced surfers. Stays conveniently come with a boat and captain so you can zip off to other nearby breaks with ease.
WATER TEMP: 80 – 84 °F (27 – 29 °C) all year long, but can drop into the 60s and 70s January through March
PEAK SURF SEASON: Mar – Aug
SHOULDER SURF SEASON: Sept – Feb
SURF EXPERIENCE: Best for intermediate to advanced surfers but there are some beginner-friendly waves as well
