Some amenities may require a fee for use.

This two-level villa is located in the exclusive Rancho Santana, a 2,700-acre resort that includes two miles of dramatic shoreline on Nicaragua's Pacific coast and was featured in the Forbes.com article "Nicaragua's Accidental Resort Community Celebrates 20 Years." You're within walking distance of Playa Rosada, and a short distance from four other private beaches, two clubhouses with swimming pools, farm-to-table restaurants and bars, stables, and tennis courts within the gated resort grounds. The beach, clubhouse, and resort amenities are all within walking distance but not for the faint at heart. Rental cars are available to assist in your exploration of the entire resort, its five beaches, and various amenities, allowing you to make the most of your Rancho Santana vacation. on arrival please visit the resort concierge desk for a description of all services availble. Please note that the resort business at Rancho Santana is a privately owned entity separate from the residential community. They may charge a fee for access to some of the amenities that are not offered by the residential community. The resort fee is specific for certain services and is optional based on which services you choose to access. The concierge desk will be happy to itemize these fees for use services to you.


With all the atmosphere of a tranquil seaside hacienda, the resort and this 4,000-square-foot villa will make you feel relaxed and at ease. Step inside to find cool tile floors, natural wood beams, and partial AC and ceiling fans to circulate the ocean breezes. Leave your flip-flops by the door, pull a book from the shelves, and spend the afternoon reading, napping, or watching the cable TV.

Begin each morning in the open kitchen, where you'll have modern appliances and abundant cabinet and counter space. Brew a fresh pot of local coffee, slice up some tropical fruit at the four-person bar counter, and enjoy a homemade breakfast with your loved ones at the dining table for six.

Use the provided WiFi to check the tides and walk 500 feet down to the soft pink sand of Playa Rosada. Test your surfing skills on Nicaragua's famous waves, and return home to rinse off in the outdoor shower, cool off in the private swimming pool, and lounge in the shaded hammock as the swaying palms lull you to sleep.

Take a walk to one of the two resort clubhouses, where you can swim in the lovely outdoor pools, lounge in the sunshine, or play a few rounds of pool, horseshoes, and bocce. Back at home, gather with your loved ones for cocktails on your private terrace, or retreat to the oceanview balcony for breathtaking sunset vistas.
