Experience the most unique lake island in the world from an unrivaled vantage-point: San Juan de la Isla - Nicaragua’s most comfortable and authentic island lodge - located lake-front on Santo Domingo Beach.

San Juan de la Isla enjoys stunning views of Ometepe's towering volcanoes, the rugged, active Concepción and the misty, cloud forest wrapped, Maderas. The lodge’s beach-front location is the ideal base for swimming in Nicaragua’s lake, clean, warm waters, hiking inside nature reserves, mountain biking, horseback riding and volcano climbing.

The best of all is the laid-back, authentic rural style of San Juan de la Isla, which is set inside the Finca San Juan, a tropical fruit tree plantation surrounded by precious wood trees and rare wildlife. The understated, century-old Spanish colonial hacienda house has been faithfully restored and serves visitors as the lodge’s restaurant.

All of our lodging options feature unique designs with many island native touches, as well as first world amenities.

The restaurant sources local ingredients for both international and Nicaragua plates. The farm supplies most of the ingredients and we only eat fresh at San Juan de la Isla, in season.

Native Spirits

The rustic Jicaro Bar is a good way to mix lake breezes with the world’s finest rum, Nicaragua’s renowned Flor de Caña in a variety of drinks, including the unique Macuá made with local passion fruit. We also have a variety of Nicaraguan beers and international drink menu.
