Surf and Yoga Retreat Center in Nicaragua
Your All-Inclusive Retreat Venue on the Pacific Coast
Still Salty Escape is a private, oceanfront retreat venue for rent on Nicaragua's uncrowded northern Pacific coast.
Our property is built for retreat leaders who want to bring their group and leave the logistics to us. Whether you teach yoga, coach surf, or lead wellness and women's retreats, our all-inclusive property gives you a barefoot-luxury home base with consistent warm-water waves, an open-air yoga shala, farm-to-table meals, and an on-site team that runs everything behind the scenes.
Not sure Nicaragua is on your radar yet?
That's exactly why your guests will love it. You get everything hosts flock to Costa Rica and Bali for — Pacific surf, tropical warmth, lush nature, and healthy food — on a quieter, more affordable, more genuinely off-the-map stretch of coastline.
Why Host Your Retreat in Nicaragua?
Nicaragua is the destination experienced retreat leaders are quietly switching to. The waves are just as consistent as Costa Rica's — but the lineups are empty, the prices are lower, and the coastline still feels undiscovered. For your guests, it's the trip that feels like a real escape, not a stop on the tourist trail.
Uncrowded, consistent surf for every level, steps from the property
Warm water year-round — no wetsuits, long surfable days
Lower cost than Costa Rica or Mexico, so your retreat margins go further
Reachable from North America — roughly 3–4 hours from Managua International Airport (MGA), with airport transfers arranged for you
A story your guests can't get anywhere else — the destination becomes part of your retreat's draw
The Venue — Everything Your Retreat Needs, Under One Roof
Our oceanfront property blends laid-back luxury with tropical charm and comfortably hosts small-to-medium groups.
Sleeps up to 24 guests across four private cabañas (two rooms each)
Open-air yoga shala with ocean breezes — set up for daily practice, workshops, and sound
Private pool, oversized hammocks, and lush gardens for downtime between sessions
Chef-prepared, plant-based meals sourced from our organic farm and local growers
Steps from the beach and the break — no shuttles to surf
On-site team handling meals, housekeeping, surf guiding, and day-to-day operations
The Rooms — Comfortable, Breezy, Steps from the Ocean
Guests rest in four private cabañas, each thoughtfully designed with natural materials, ocean breezes, and that barefoot-luxury feel.
All four cabañas share the exact same size and layout, so no one feels shortchanged — every upstairs room is identical, and every downstairs room is identical. With eight rooms total, the property flexes to fit your group, from shared setups that keep retreats affordable to semi-private and private configurations for those who want a little more space.
Every cabaña is the same — identical size and layout, so room assignments are fair and easy
Upstairs rooms are all alike; downstairs rooms are all alike
Views of the ocean, the garden, or both, depending on the room
Eight rooms total, up to 24 guests — shared, semi-private, or private configurations
Every room just steps from the pool, the shala, and the beach
