Rancho Santana
Overview
Tucked along Nicaragua’s Emerald Coast, Rancho Santana is an exclusive beachfront resort that blends rugged natural beauty with understated luxury. Set on 2,700 acres of rolling hills, lush forests, and dramatic Pacific coastline, the property offers an authentic yet elevated experience for discerning travelers seeking adventure, privacy, and connection to nature.
Rancho Santana is uniquely positioned across five distinct beaches, each offering a different ambiance—from tranquil coves ideal for swimming to world-renowned surf breaks that attract surfers from across the globe. Accommodations range from elegant ocean-view suites to spacious private homes and villas, all designed to harmonize with the surrounding landscape while offering modern comforts and curated local touches.
The resort’s culinary scene is a standout, with farm-to-table dining at The Farm & Sea, where organic ingredients from the on-site farm are transformed into vibrant, globally inspired dishes. Guests can also enjoy fresh ceviche and cocktails with sunset views at the laid-back La Finca y El Mar.
Wellness is woven into the Rancho Santana experience, with a cliffside spa offering holistic treatments, open-air yoga pavilions, and an array of outdoor activities—from horseback riding along the beach to hiking scenic trails and visiting the community-run art center.
Rancho Santana’s appeal lies in its seamless integration of luxury and authenticity. It is both a sanctuary for relaxation and a gateway to cultural and ecological discovery, where barefoot sophistication meets warm, Nicaraguan hospitality. Whether you come for the surf, the sunsets, or the solitude, Rancho Santana invites guests to reconnect—with nature, with others, and with themselves.
