STAY

Verdad, rated number one in the area on Trip Advisor, is a boutique hotel nestled on the hillside overlooking the Pacific Ocean and Playa Escameca. Offering all the comforts of a luxury resort without the pretense: five freestanding casitas with ocean views and private balconies, two poolside rooms, yoga/fitness studio, pool, lounge, honor bar and fresh, locally sourced meals served on-site.

SURF

Thanks to a consistent off-shore wind, Playa Escameca has a reliable beach break from early November through September, so surfers of all levels can enjoy riding the waves right below our hillside perch almost all year-round. And for those who prefer a faster wave, Playa Yankee, another uncrowded surf break, is just one cove over to the north.

ADVENTURE

Playa Escameca is surrounded by a varied terrain that allows for adventures both in the mountainous ranges, or out at sea. Explore all that Nicaragua has to offer — be it galloping along the sandy beach at full speed on horseback, four-wheeling on an ATV into hidden waterfalls in the rain forest, or launching out to sea to snorkel, wake-surf, or spearfish before enjoying freshly made ceviche prepared by your multi-faceted boat captain. Pacifica Aventuras, a locally run adventure company, and Verdad Nicaragua, a boutique hotel above Playa Escameca curate all your adventures. They’ve spent years developing close relationships with knowledgable people in the local community, which means you get to explore the truly undiscovered Nicaragua, venturing where few travelers go.
