COSTA DULCE RETREAT

A Community Run Surf & Yoga Retreat Eco Lodge in Southern Nicaragua

Please book here rather then through a third party. This helps us improve your experience. Contact info@costadulcebeach.com for assistance.

Welcome to Costa Dulce Retreat, a beachfront sanctuary nestled on the southern coast of Nicaragua, offering a unique blend of tranquility, adventure, and community. Here, the gentle whispers of the jungle and the soothing rhythm of the waves invite you to a journey of self-discovery and connection. Whether you’re drawn by the allure of the surf, the tranquility of yoga, or the promise of wellness, Costa Dulce is your gateway to an unforgettable experience.

If you’ve ever dreamed of falling asleep to the sound of crashing waves, swimming in a beautiful waterfall or doing yoga in the middle of the jungle over blue-green surf, Costa Dulce is the place to make it happen. It is truly paradise and I cannot imagine a more beautiful or welcoming place to experience the jungle and the sea.’
