From this ridge-top location, catch sunrise and views of Costa Rica from the hot tub or watch the sunset while you enjoy a cocktail from the poolside bar.
Here’s a beach for solitary sunbathers or anyone who wants to find peace and quiet to get lost in a good book. It’s not uncommon to have Playa Escondida, aka Rancho Santana’s “hidden beach,” all to yourself.
Soak up views of stunning rock formations and the beach’s namesake dune, which is created by winds whipping around the shoreline’s point. But first, you have to get there!
Our most swimmable and kid-friendly beach, Playa Los Perros has white sands and approachable swells. That’s why it’s home to our Surf Shop, which offers lessons, board rentals, and a selection of surf gear
Our 6,000-square-foot spa and wellness sanctuary is built into Rancho Santana’s rugged hillside, offering visitors a respite from the Nicaraguan sun and surf.
The Beach & Surf Club at Playa Los Perros is home to our Surf Shop, where you can grab gear (extra wax, rashguards, and tees, for example) and rent a board.
Choose from a beachside horseback ride at sunset, an amble through nearby villages to soak up local culture (and wave hello to enthusiastic kids), or a trot along our extensive network of jungle paths.
The Clubhouse sits directly on the shores of Playa Santana, as does The Inn and Residences. Guests can enjoy everything from poolside cocktails at the pool bar to fresh-made smoothies at El Cafe, to delicious catch of the day at La Finca y el Mar.
Take a short ride to the FunLimón community center across the road from Rancho Santana. There, you’ll find free weights, Nautilus training machines, treadmills, and exercise bikes, plus a martial arts studio and boxing bag.
Rancho Santana is host to thousands of little visitors every year who make themselves comfortable on our beaches without booking a single night’s stay. They’re our turtles, of course!
Come for the catch of the day, stay for the Playa Santana views. Restaurant La Finca y El Mar, located in the Clubhouse, serves locally sourced seafood, grilled meat, and farm-fresh salads—all with Nicaraguan flair.
Enjoy uninterrupted ocean views from the expansive terraces, outdoor dining area, and infinity pool at Villa Cielo. You’ll also have easy access to La Finca y El Mar restaurant, the Spa in El Bosque, and La Tienda—each within walking distance.
Disconnect from from the hustle and bustle of your daily life and reconnect with nature at Casa Sueño Santana. This cliffside home with three bedrooms has an expansive terrace where you can soak up uninterrupted ocean views. In all, this house has two king beds and two twin beds.
What’ll it be: the Pacific or your personal pool? It’s a daily question at this beachy escape.
In addition to sprawling interiors, Villa Escondida has a private staircase that leads down to Playa Escondida.
Tucked away on a hill, Casa Serena has views of the Pacific Ocean and rolling hills. And you’ll get an eyeful, thanks to expansive windows throughout the house as well as sliding doors from off the kitchen, living room, and three of the bedrooms.
Rancho Santana is fast becoming a mountain biker’s utopia, with an expansive network of trails, paths, and roads that wind through the jungle, up steep hills, and along our pristine beaches.
Indulge in the luxury of Alma Del Mar, featuring breathtaking ocean views, multiple pools, and terraces. This home is the ultimate dream vacation destination.
