Off the beaten track romance and lovers of the great outdoors.
Jicaro Island Lodge is set on one of the isletas in Lake Nicaragua, 20 minutes boat ride from the stunning colonial city of Granada.
Jicaro Island Lodge has nine two-story lake view casitas (think chic wood cabins) that bring the outdoors in via huge windows. The ground floor sitting room opens onto an outdoor deck with an oversized hammock and comfy furniture. All made with Rainforest Alliance certified hardwoods.
Whether it is the exceptional food that focuses on traditional Nicaraguan dishes prepared in a healthy way using the best local produce, or the wellness centre, swimming pool, daily yoga classes and warmth of the service, the focus at Jicaro is on wellbeing.
Take it easy: indulge in a treatment or take in the views from the comfort of a hammock or raise the pulse rate with a kayaking or hiking tour to Mombacho Volcano, bird watch or learn to fish in the Nicaraguan way, or pop across to Granada for a cultural fix.
For the ultimate al-fresco dining experience, organise a private dinner on Jicaro's floating deck.
