Set against the backdrop of the towering active Concepción Volcano and the mist shrouded dormant Maderas Volcano, this beachfront lodge offers an idyllic retreat for both adventure and relaxation.
Embrace the allure of Nicaragua's pristine lake waters with swimming, while hiking trails within nature reserves and volcano climbing beckon the adventurous soul. For those seeking tranquillity, simply bask in the island's serene beauty.
San Juan de la Isla is a three-star, family-run haven featuring rustic cabin-like accommodations crafted from wooden logs on stilts. Each cabin offers beachfront serenity or is nestled within lush tropical forests with volcano vistas.

January
This month offers sunny days and warm temperatures, making it perfect for exploring beaches like San Juan del Sur and Corn Islands.
February
Similar to January, February boasts excellent weather for outdoor activities such as hiking in the lush rainforests or enjoying water sports on the Pacific coast.
March
As the dry season continues, March is ideal for visiting colonial cities like Granada and León, with comfortable temperatures and clear skies.
April
Easter celebrations in Nicaragua are vibrant and colourful, particularly in cities like Masaya and Managua, offering cultural experiences for visitors.
May
May marks the start of the rainy season, but it's still possible to enjoy the country's natural beauty while avoiding crowds at popular tourist spots.
June
Rainfall increases in June, so travelers can take advantage of lower prices and fewer tourists while exploring attractions like Ometepe Island and the Masaya Volcano.
July
Despite occasional showers, July offers opportunities for eco-tourism adventures, including birdwatching in the cloud forests of the Mombacho Volcano Nature Reserve.
August
The rainy season continues in August, but visitors can still enjoy the country's diverse wildlife by exploring national parks like Indio-Maíz Biological Reserve.
September
September is a particularly wet month throughout the country and we do not recommend visiting at this time.
October
October is similar to September and the height of the wet season.
November
As the wet season eases off and drier days commence, November offers pleasant weather for outdoor activities such as zip-lining in the canopy forests and volcano trekking.
December
The holiday season brings festive atmosphere to Nicaragua, with lively street markets and celebrations in cities like Managua and Estelí. Christmas & New Year holidays are popular times for travel throughout the region.
