About This Trip

Stay Longer. Slow Down. Live the Island Life.

A week can give you a taste of Little Corn Island. A month gives you time to settle into its rhythm.

Perched on the highest point of car-free Little Corn Island, The Lighthouse Retreat is surrounded by jungle, Caribbean sea views, and the natural sounds of island life.

  • We’re a 10–15 minute walk uphill from the village, dock, and beaches; close enough to enjoy everything, far enough to feel removed from the noise.

  • This isn't a scheduled retreat or structured wellness program. Your time is your own.

  • Rest, work, practice, explore, create, read, or simply do less.

  • Spend a morning on the rooftop deck.

  • Book a chocolate massage or body scrub.

  • Walk down to the sea. Find a quiet beach.

  • Work for a few hours, then close the laptop. Or spend an entire afternoon in a hammock.

Nothing here needs to be rushed.

Monthly Stays Are Made For People Who Want To…

  • Slow down and genuinely rest

  • Practice yoga or meditation independently

  • Read, write, create, or reconnect with a personal project

  • Work remotely while having plenty of opportunities to disconnect

  • Explore Little Corn at a slower pace

  • Experience island living rather than simply passing through

What Your Month Could Look Like

There is no perfect itinerary.

Morning: Wake to birdsong and ocean air. Practice on the rooftop, journal, or stay in your hammock a little longer

Midday: Work if you need to. When you're done, head to the water, explore the island

Afternoon: Snorkel or scuba dive with local captains, discover quiet beaches, enjoy lunch, read, nap, chill

Evening: Watch the sunset, enjoy dinner, then let the island get quiet

By the end of your stay, the island starts to feel less like somewhere you're visiting and more like somewhere you're living for a while.

A Month on Little Corn Island

A month at The Lighthouse Retreat isn’t an extended vacation. It’s a chance to step out of your usual routine and experience what it feels like to slow down and actually live on a Caribbean island.

  • Start Slowly

  • Work When You Need To
    Settle into your projects with Wi-Fi, then close the laptop and walk to the beach

  • Follow Your Curiosity
    Snorkel, explore the island’s beaches and village, or simply spend the afternoon reading in your hammock

  • Make Space to Rest
    Book a massage, take a swim, nap, journal, or do absolutely nothing. When you have a month, there’s no pressure to fit everything into one day

  • Become Part of the Island
    Walk to the village. Find your favourite spot. watch the fishermen coming in. Say hello to familiar faces.

  • Little by little, you stop feeling like a visitor

  • You learn the island’s rhythm when the breeze comes through

  • You find a quiet beach, and how good it feels to have nowhere else you need to be

The beauty of staying longer?

You finally have time to slow down enough to notice how you feel.

A Note From the Founders

Welcome to Your Home on Little Corn Island

If you’re reading this, you’re probably craving something rare: total, uninterrupted peace.

Hey there!

We are two Palestinian sisters from Toronto who fell completely in love with the raw, untamed magic of Nicaragua's Caribbean coast.

We designed The Lighthouse Retreat when the modern world has gotten entirely too loud.

We wanted to build a filter for that chaos; a place where you can leave your worries at the dock, step out of the grind, and step back into yourself.

Featured in National Geographic, our proud, women-owned eco-sanctuary is an intimate, safely gated, and strictly adults-only haven perched at the highest point of car-free Little Corn Island with the best views of the island.

Whether you are traveling solo, as a couple, or with a group of friends, this is your space to unwind.

Want the Whole Property to Yourselves?

We offer full buyouts for private groups and women's retreats, friend trips, retreat leaders bringing their own group up to 11 guests across our 7 guest cabañas. Ask us for buyout pricing and availability.
