A Sprawling Coastal Escape
The Ranch
Spread across 2,700 oceanfront acres, Rancho Santana is a world-class resort and residential community with beaches, hiking trails, fine dining, outdoor adventure, and a wellness sanctuary.
Can it get better than an oceanfront location for your Nicaraguan vacation? Add year-round warm weather, practically perfect surf conditions, plus hikeable jungle terrain, and Rancho Santana proves it can.
Nature
Rancho Santana's terrain is as diverse as the guests who come to hike our many trails. Traverse jungle and tropical dry forest on the Los Perros loops; top off a walk to Playa Escondida with a visit to the turtle sanctuary and a splash in the tide pools; and summit a sand dune at Playa Duna
The Five Beaches
Called Las Cinco Playas in Spanish, Rancho Santana's five beaches include surfing hotspots, sandcastle-building grounds, and remote swaths of sand. Learn more about our Nicaragua beaches.
It all started with six friends, an unforgettable trip to Nicaragua, and a dream to share a beloved property with the world. While visiting the country in 1997, the friends met Sr. Granados, who personally showed the group around a piece of land for sale by his family. As they hiked, climbed, and explored the rugged 2,700 acres, Sr. Granados shared his vision of what the property could be with a community behind it.
The friends formed that very community, buying the property and remaining close to Sr. Granados and his family as they built homes for themselves and their friends. Infrastructure quickly followed, including roads, water filtration systems, and electricity. That in turn brought even more homes, plus clubhouses, restaurants, and riding stables. Eventually, they created The Inn & Residences, a luxury boutique hotel experience, so that the rest of the world could share in the vision, too. Today, “the Rancho resort” is celebrated by the likes of Travel & Leisure as a top hotel in the world. Though at its heart it remains an ever-evolving community for friends.
