Enjoy leisurely beachfront strolls
Set against the sweeping expanse of Santo Domingo beach, Hotel Villa Paraíso was the island’s first quality hotel.
Nestled amidst the lush tropical foliage, the private cabins offer a rustic and tropical ambiance, seamlessly blending exposed brick and log cabin foundations with cool tile flooring. Choose from a variety of cabin categories, including those with serene river views and spacious family accommodations. Most rooms feature air conditioning for added comfort, along with private terraces with seating and hammocks, perfect for unwinding amidst the island breeze.
Indulge in authentic local cuisine at La Mariscada Restaurant, where island seafood specialties tantalise the taste buds. Discover the natural wonders of Isla de Ometepe, a biosphere reserve boasting the world's largest island within a freshwater lake. Spend leisurely days lounging by the outdoor swimming pool or strolling along the pristine beach just steps from the hotel.
Embark on exciting excursions organised by the hotel, from horseback riding to exploring the mystical lagoon within Maderas Volcano's crater. Delve into the region's rich heritage with a visit to El Porvenir, where ancient petroglyphs offer a glimpse into the pre-Columbian era.

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.
