Flying to Managua, Nicaragua

Major airlines run daily connections into Nicaragua’s Managua international Airport (MGA), including American Airlines, Delta, United, Copa, Taca and Spirit. We do not suggest self-drive at night in Nicaragua, as the navigation, lighting, and road traffic are challenging. We are happy to pick you up and drop you back to the airport.

We’ll pick you up

We also provide vehicle transport from Managua (2.5 hrs), Granada (1.5 hrs), San Juan del Sur (1hr) and other locations in Nicaragua. Please contact us for pricing.

Aqua itself is located on the Pacific Coast of Nicaragua, 40Km north along the coastline from San Juan Del Sur. We are next to the coastal fishing and surfing community of “Playa Gigante.” Access to Aqua Wellness Resort is through the cities of Tola and Rivas.

How about a helicopter to Aqua Wellness Resort?

The fastest way to arrive at Aqua Wellness Resort, and possibly the most scenic, is to have our staff arrange for Helicopter Transportation from Managua. This exclusive method of transportation takes only 30 minutes from Managua and provides a view of Nicaragua like no other.

Please contact us in advance of your arrival and we will be happy to assist you with a pickup or detailed driving directions.

About Aqua

Aqua Wellness Resort is situated in a lush tropical forest natural setting within a private beach cove on the Nicaragua’s ‘Emerald Coast’ on the Pacific just north of Costa Rica. A secluded and peaceful natural setting ideal for a relaxing beach holiday, yoga, meditation, and spa treatments that nourish the soul. Aqua is only two-hours from Nicaragua’s international airport by car, or 20 minutes by helicopter. Enjoy ocean activities like kayaking, fishing and world-class surfing. Or spend your time on the beach, hiking our area or checking out the surfer-vibe night scene at Playa Gigante next door.

Day-trips to explore colonial Granada, San Juan del Sur, or the iconic twin volcano Ometepe island are easy from the resort’s central location.

Introducing “luxury eco-lodge” accommodations

Aqua's Tree Houses serve two purposes – The first is environmental. By building above the forest floor, we minimized the resort’s impact on the delicate ecosystem of the jungle forest.

The second purpose you’ll understand especially at sunset, while you lounge around your private deck, or soak in your plunge pool while watching the sun sink into Pacific. Perched up high in your Treehouse, with views of the ocean and green-forested hills, you are truly immersed in nature.

You will fall asleep to the tranquil waves of the ocean and wake up to the sounds of the tropics – more birds than you can imagine and perhaps a family of howler monkeys having breakfast in the trees surrounding you. Get your cameras ready.

Activities

Picture of Yoga at Aqua Wellness

Yoga at Aqua Wellness

Optimal wellness is maintained by taking care of ourselves, body, mind and soul. The ancient practice of yoga is a beautiful way to do this. Originating from the heart of India, Yoga in our modern world has spread like wild fire as people come to it from all different backgrounds with a common goal, to balance themselves. Whether you are a devoted yogi, complete beginner or fitness junkie there is something for everyone in our classes.

Our yoga classes can accommodate up to 30 students, and we are happy to offer guests complimentary use of our yoga mats, yoga straps and wooden yoga blocks. We practice yoga daily at Aqua with group yoga classes, workshops and private classes all taught by experts. Whether stretching, flowing, or meditating, guests can enjoy and absorb the energy from our beautiful yoga platforms, one facing spectacular ocean views and one hidden in the depths of the beautiful jungle.

We also offer in house Wellness Programs run by our expert staff that include a variety of Yoga, Wellness and Spa services to make the most of your time here. Take a look.

Yoga Platform

Our principle open-air yoga deck overlooks the ocean, adding to the serenity of your yoga experience. Accommodating up to 28 mats the platform has hardwood floors and is open on four sides and covered by a palm-thatched “palapa” roof. With unbeatable views it is often a highlight of many of our guests stay.

Meditation

Aqua Wellness Resort is a serene, natural setting that inspires one to disconnect from the world and reconnect with one’s inner self. Your own private treehouse deck is a perfect spot for meditation, lulled by the sounds of the waves and the forest. We also offer group and private meditations on our Ocean View Yoga Platform often at as the sun goes down.

Group Yoga Class

Outside of our open level complementary classes we schedule a selection of other group yoga classes throughout the week. These include Vinyasa Yoga, Ashtanga Yoga, Pranayama, Mediation and Acro Yoga.

Private Yoga 

This is a perfect way to move deeper into your Yoga Practice. Private classes are encouraged for total beginners. Yoga is a wonderful practice to start but takes a little getting used to at the beginning. A private lesson will give you time to work closely with the teacher, break down common sequences and ask questions.

For practitioners that are more advanced and want to work on a particular sequence, pose or practice this is also a powerful option. Dive deeper into your practice by working one on one with one of our expert instructors.

Private Acro & Partner Yoga 

Partner Yoga can be a wonderful way to have fun and discover your partner. In this session we start off with some basic partner stretches and move on to some fun Acro Yoga Session (makes for beautiful photos on our gorgeous Ocean Deck). We finish the class by learning a short Thai Massage Sequence.

Yoga Therapy

Together we work on finding the root of imbalances within you that can cause your dis-ease or discomfort. Within the sessions we will connect the different parts of your life that need attention and address those through a personalized yoga practice. If this is something that greatly interest you can also join one of our Wellness Retreats focused on Yoga.

Picture of Nature

Nature

Live among the locals

Monkeys, parrots, sea turtles, rare birds, hundreds of different varieties of butterflies… truly a nature-lovers paradise.

Aqua is proud to partner with Paso Pacifico, a non-profit foundation dedicated to conserving and restoring the natural ecosystem of Nicaragua’s Pacific slope. Together, Aqua and Paso Pacifico are working to preserve Aqua’s natural environment in four areas:

Monkeys

As you will see – and hear — the trees at Aqua are home to dozens of howler monkeys, a primate thought to have the loudest voice of any mammal its size. The howlers, along with endangered spider monkeys, are integral in seed dispersal and the health of the forest. We are preserving and reforesting the monkeys’ habitat, making certain they have an adequate natural food supply, and monitoring their well-being.

Sea Turtles

Aqua’s white-sand beach is an important nesting site for four endangered species of Pacific sea turtles – olive ridely, green, hawksbill and leatherback. We are tagging and monitoring these turtles, to safeguard their nesting sites and to protect them from poaching.

Parrots

Of the many tropical birds that nest at Aqua, the yellow-naped Amazon parrot is among the most beautiful and most endangered. We are monitoring the parrots’ habits, health, and habitat — and placing artificial nests for them in trees out of harms’ way from poachers.

Forests

The dry tropical forest surrounding Aqua has been severely degraded as a result of centuries of selective logging, thus shrinking the habitat of indigenous wildlife. We are collecting seeds of trees that are vital to the wildlife, and propagating them in an on-property nursery. We plan to plant 5,000 trees in our forest, to bolster the habitat for the wildlife, and to offset the resort’s carbon footprint.

Picture of Day Trips

Day Trips

Experience Nicaragua via day trips and exciting excursions

Aqua offers an array of enjoyable day trips, both on land and by sea. We invite guests to explore nearby eco-sites including Masaya Volcano, Mombacho Volcano Reserve, the Granada Isletas and Ometepe Island, a UNESCO world biodiversity site. Excursions to these pristine nature reserves include zip-line canopy tours, coffee plantation tours, organic and permaculture farm tours, waterfall hikes, night lava viewing, and horseback riding.

If you would like to get out onto the ocean to fish, explore beaches, or visit villages to the north or the colorful beach town of San Juan Del Sur to the south, we offer a number of boat-trip options.

We also offer tours to the Spanish colonial city of Granada, zip-line canopy tours in San Juan del Sur and turtle and dolphin/whale watching out on the water and in La Flor National Pacific Reserve. Excursions in our own special part of Nicaragua include hiking up the ‘Pie de Gigante’ sea cliff for stunning views and an exciting rappelling adventure, as well as mangrove bird watching and traditional fishing instruction. Email concierge@aquanicaragua.com for more information on Aqua’s tours and excursions.

Let us help you plan your excursion

Picture of Catch the big one fishing trips in Nicaragua

Catch the big one fishing trips in Nicaragua

Fishing off the coast of Nicaragua is among the best you’ll find for two reasons: commercial fishing in Nicaragua is on a very small scale, which leaves plenty of fish for sports fishermen, and though also small, Nicaragua has a skilled sport‐fishing industry.

We can send you out in a sonar‐equipped, center‐console fishing boat with powerful outboard engines, stocked with cold beer and snacks and manned by a salty captain and fishing guide who are experienced with local types of fish, seasonality, tackle required and where to catch a big one. They are also happy to teach you traditional fishing techniques, such as surf‐casting, hand spearing, lobstering, sardine and shrimp fishing with small nets and traditional jigging with hand‐rigged Nica fishing boards.

Just say no to getting “skunked.”

Guests at Aqua have returned triumphantly from their fishing trips with king mackerel, barracuda, red snapper, amberjack, mahi‐mahi, blue‐fin tuna, yellowfin tuna, roosterfish, snook and many other species—all caught in offshore waters. (Our chef is always happy to cook your catch for your lunch or dinner.) If you would like to spend a whole day at sea, we recommend deep‐sea fishing (catch‐and‐release only) for swordfish, marlin and shark.

We also can arrange fishing trips to Lake Nicaragua and the Rio San Juan, where you can catch‐and‐release 100‐pound tarpon. You can also enjoy fishing and spear‐fishing right here in Aqua’s Redonda Bay. Guests are welcome to bring any or all of their own gear/tackle for fishing at Aqua Wellness Resort, though this is not required

Picture of Boat Cruises

Boat Cruises

Experience the immaculate Emerald Coast

Aqua is located on Nicaragua’s dramatic Emerald Coast, where rugged cliffs border unspoiled white‐sand beaches. We encourage guests to get out onto the open ocean during their stay, so that they can view the spectacular coastline and enjoy sightings of dolphin pods, sea turtles and, in when in season, whale migrations.

Let us do the work

We can arrange for a half‐day cruise to “La Ancien,” a rock formation a mile south of Aqua, where there is excellent snorkeling; a full‐day cruise to the lively beach town of San Juan del Sur, 12 km south of Aqua; or a two‐hour cruise at sunset, when the sky morphs, as if by magic, from orange to crimson to indigo as the sun sinks into the Pacific.

Plan your boating experience

Picture of The most consistent surf in the world

The most consistent surf in the world

Walk, ride, or boat to surf in both directions. Aqua is within a 5 to 20-minute boat ride from the most famous surf breaks in Nicaragua — home to ISA surfing championships – so it’s great for guests who want to surf during their stay. Aqua is ideal for guests who come to Nicaragua for a laid-back surfing holiday in “barefoot luxury” comfort.

Surfing in Nicaragua, you won’t need a wetsuit, as the water temperature ranges from 75-82F throughout the year. You can longboard, shortboard, or SUP at any of the breaks, with the biggest swells between May and November, but thanks to the unique-to-Nicaragua Lake Nicaragua effect the beaches near Aqua enjoy 300 days a year of off-shore winds for great surfing, in glassy conditions.

Surf Luxury

You’ll stay in one of our luxurious tree house suites with a plunge pool and a kitchen, and depending on the tides, the weather and the winds, our surfing guides can whisk you by boat to any break you desire. After surfing, you can enjoy a massage in our spa, followed by sunset cocktails and dinner at Aqua’s beachside bar and restaurant.

Let us create the perfect surf trip for you

Picture of Water Sports

Water Sports

Aqua Wellness Resort sits on a white‐sand beach on Redonda Bay, a perfect half‐moon‐shaped cove that is backed by dramatic rock cliffs.

Aqua offers every water activity under the sun

In Spanish, “redonda” means round, and the name comes from the two points of rock that jut into the sea at either end of the bay, creating one of the most protected swimming beaches on Nicaragua’s Pacific coast. In fact, Aqua’s beach was recently named one of the best in Latin America. Our beach is superb for body surfing, snorkeling, kayaking, stand‐up paddle boarding, paddle‐board fishing, swimming for all ages, building sand castles or just plain lounging – in a chair or a hammock.

The perfect, private beach

Though all beaches in Nicaragua are public, due to its limited accessibility, our beach is de‐facto private. Aqua’s staff keeps it immaculately clean and protects the turtles that come ashore to lay eggs. On a moon‐lit night, there is no better beach for a stroll or a swim, especially on nights when the bioluminescent algae shimmer silver in the water.

All gear is complimentary

Aqua guests are welcome to the available complimentary use of water‐sports gear, including snorkels and fins, kayaks, boogie boards and stand‐up paddleboards. We also offer instructions in surfing, kayaking, paddleboarding, snorkeling and traditional Nicaraguan fishing techniques for an additional charge.

SPA & Welnness

Picture of Spa

Spa

Aqua’s serene, secluded and awe-inspiring forest/ocean-view setting is ideal for guests seeking a wellness vacation, one in which they can enjoy activities that are good for the body and the soul, eat healthily and return home feeling revitalized. Our Treehouse spa is an essential part of Aqua’s “Pure Wellness in Nature” focus. The spa features one single and one couples’ treatment room, both with showers, and open-air ocean views that take relaxation to the next level.

Special spa services

Spa treatments range from pedicures, facials and massages, to signature treatments that utilize organic local ingredients. Among the most popular signature treatments at Aqua are the “Organic Cacao Body Polish,” a scrub using Nicaraguan cocoa beans, yogurt and honey, which leaves the skin feeling as soft as silk; the invigorating “Mombacho Massage,” named for one of Nicaragua’s many volcanoes; the “Aqua Envelopment Body Treatment,” which uses warm volcanic clay; and the “Smoothie Body Polish,” a scrub using enzyme-rich tropical fruits
