A Note From the Founders
If you’re reading this, you’re probably craving something rare: total, uninterrupted peace.
Hey there!
We are two 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.
Whether you are traveling solo, as a couple, or with a group of friends, this is your space to unwind.
We also offer full, exclusive buyouts of our venue for private retreats, hosting intimate groups of up to 12 guests across our 8 breezy hilltop cabanas.
The Lighthouse Retreat is a hilltop, adults-only eco-sanctuary on Little Corn Island, Nicaragua for travelers seeking a slower intentional way to experience the Caribbean.
Surrounded by tropical jungle and ocean views, it offers a peaceful, car-free venue where nature sets the rhythm of your stay.
Founded by two sisters from Toronto, the retreat was built with a focus on nature, wellness, and meaningful connection to the island.
Guests come here to disconnect from routine, enjoy fresh island living, and experience a blend of relaxation, adventure, and authentic local culture.
From sunrise views over the sea to guided ocean adventures, nourishing meals, and restorative wellness treatments, The Lighthouse is designed as a place to reset, recharge, and fully experience island life at its purest.
We offer a small, intimate collection of 7 wooden cabañas with an on-site Restaurant.
