Modern Design Villas at Hacienda Iguana
Hacienda Iguana, Playa Colorado, Nicaragua
Design-forward boutique hotel surrounded by lush golf course grounds on Nicaragua’s wave rich Emerald Coast.
Located in the private resort style community of Hacienda Iguana in Tola, Rivas, this exquisite boutique hotel is a beautifully designed getaway where you can customize the perfect stay to suit your style. It’s kind of like a choose-your-own adventure – there are apartments, rooms, or whole villas available and you can opt for an all-inclusive trip with activities and meals included, or do your own thing a la carte.
The hotel consists of two separate five-bedroom villas designed to accommodate any sized crew. Each villa can be rented out by the room, or you can rent out the entire villa if you’re traveling with a larger group or family.
Nestled into an abundance of trees and greenery, both villas feature floor-to-ceiling windows, breezy modern design, large outdoor terraces, pools, and rooftop chill areas. The layout of both villas is unique in that the rooms are extremely private – most rooms don’t share any walls and are almost like individual units within the villa complexes.
The location gives you easy and centralized access to the some of the best waves on Nicaragua’s Emerald Coast – it’s about a 6-8 minute walk (or 1-2 min by car) to Panga Drops and Playa Colorado, with many more nearby breaks on offer.

Features
Inside
Finished concrete blends with rustic wood ceilings and open minimalist spaces. Giant windows and sliding doors offer an indoor/outdoor feel and tons of natural light. Outfitted with modern comforts, rooms are airy, spacious, and some units have private patios or terraces.
Outside
Lush golf course greens and natural habitat surround the villas. Towering trees give shade to the properties and are the perfect spot for frequent monkey sightings. There’s no shortage of places to lounge with the pool, multiple terraces, and many outdoor areas.
Eat & Drink
Wonderful private chef services are available onsite. Their simple yet creative menu emphasizes local, mostly organic, and tropical ingredients. They can cater to vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free menus. If you would like to forgo chef services, there are several nearby restaurant options.
The Surf
With 300+ days of offshore winds, Nicaragua is well-known for consistently having an abundance of amazing waves and surf conditions on offer. While the main surf season runs from March to September when consistent and sizable south swells greet the Emerald Coast, surf can be found just about anytime of the year. Waves often run shoulder to overhead and stand out spots can reach double overhead+ during solid peak season swells. Experienced surfers will enjoy the variety of punchy beach breaks and barrels on offer, and there are a few more user-friendly spots that can be sought out as well.
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: May – August
SHOULDER SURF SEASON: Sept – April
SURF EXPERIENCE: Best for intermediate to advanced surfers but beginner’s can seek out more user-friendly waves and the shoulder season is great for beginner to intermediates
