Isleta El Espino

Top choice in Nicaragua


Kayaking at dawn among the reeds and the herons, delicious meals, yoga, massages and a chance to disconnect from it all are on offer at this island ecolodge. Isleta El Espino is a study in luxurious tranquility, and whether you stay in a lakefront casita or the jungly Treetop Rancho, you're guaranteed seclusion and stellar views of Volcán Mombacho.

The five rooms/casitas and their furnishings are all made of sustainable local materials and the ecolodge is run by a staff of islanders.
