Nicaragua has become a very popular travel destination for travellers who are searching for a healthy, natural experience. The Nicaraguan people are distinct in their culture by being warm, welcoming and grateful to have travellers get to know their beautiful land. They have separate traditions, many of which spill out in the streets in the form of parades; it is a very happy and festive culture. Costa Dulce has a strong focus on building community and environmental awareness in the surrounding communities and is one of Nicaragua's premier eco lodges, run by 100% renewable solar energy. It is home to threatened and endangered species and has a wide range of biodiversity, waiting for you to explore. They support a turtle hatchery in front of the hotel and have helped to found the Collada Reserve. 20 acres of land have been protected so far, and every guest contributes; 3 trees are planted for every visitor to this magical space. Your impact counts.
The Costa Dulce Spa is a veritable wellness haven, where the sound of the ocean soothes you in the serenity. Schedule your included one hour full body massage at your convenience. Treat your body and soul to a relaxing massage each day if you want to, nourish your skin with a natural mask and energize yourself with the signature coffee and coconut oil scrub, two of Nicaragua"s finest ingredients. Let the professional team of masseuses and beauty experts pamper you with fresh local products, carefully selected to create your unique wellness experience.
