Discover Mukul
In this part of the world, there is a natural zest for life and a hearty lust for adventure. To ensure families come to enjoy the best of both while relishing the thrill of new experiences, Guacalito tempts an incredible array of outdoor pursuits on land and sea.
Sea Turtle Conservation Program
The marvel of nature preservation can be experienced through a baby turtle release in designated sites, helping to re-populate the region’s turtles, such as the endangered Olive Ridley Sea Turtles and Leatherback Sea Turtles that nest on Guacalito’s beaches.
Other experiences on terra firma include kids’ soccer, tennis on a pair of hard-surface courts as well as beach tennis and volleyball on Manzanillo’s soft sands, yoga and meditation experiences with an in-house instructor on a treetop Yoga Pavilion overlooking the Emerald Coast.

Adventurous parents could relive their own childhood days at summer camp, taking a moment to learn from their children rather than be their teachers.

David Mclay Kidd's signature oceanfront 18-hole course.
A challenge to players of all skill levels, Guacalito golf course seamlessly melds natural terrain while preserving the breathtaking environment that makes Nicaragua's emerald coast special.
Beautiful hardwood bridges made with fallen timber grace many holes. A specially treated-water irrigation system maintains the resort's commitment to sustainability. On the 18th hole, an unconventional par-3, was designed specifically to save mature trees instead of removing them.
"Nicaragua screams adventure to me, so I wanted to make sure the golf course lived up to that idea."
- David McLay Kidd, Golf Course Architect
Swinging away on the greens of the emerald coast is the promise of the Guacalito GolF Course. Named one of the "the best golf courses" by robb report, the inspired 10-hole oceanfront design hails from one of today's most innovative golf course designers-David Mclay Kidd, named the "hottest architect in golf" by golf world.
Beginning deep inside the forest and ending on the ocean's sandy shore, this challenge to players of every skill level stands as Nicaragua's Premier Course. Nearly as if mother nature were the co-architect, the course seamlessly follows (and helps to preserve) the natural contours of terrain and arroyos, with distinctively beautiful hardwood bridges made of fallen timber gracing many holes. Some players describe it as 'one part golf, one part nature trek', and that is prehaps its greatest appeal.

Where tropical birds, monkeys and iguanas greet you. For millennia, the land bridge between North and South America served as a migratory thoroughfare and mating ground for species native to the once-separate continents. Perhaps its unique location between both continents explains why the region comprises only 0.05% of the earth’s landmass, yet it is home to 7% of the planet’s biodiversity. Experience breathtaking views of Guacalito de la Isla and its Emerald Coast. Let our rangers lead you into the forest to visit the areas’ highest points with 360° panoramic views spanning as far as neighboring Costa Rica.
