Rancho Santana

Spread across 2,700 oceanfront acres, Rancho Santana is a worldclass resort and residential community with beaches, hiking trails, fine dining, outdoor adventure, all-inclusive dining, and a wellness sanctuary. The Ranch has its unique location on Nicaragua’s pristine Emerald Coast to thank for its superb surfing reputation. Rolling hills, a sand dune, and dry tropical forests are part of the landscape here, too.  

Think of Playa Rancho Santana as your beachy home base. Not only does the Clubhouse sit directly on its shores, so does the Inn and the Residential Suites. Head straight from your suite to the sand in the morning, or make a pitstop at El Cafe for a fresh-made smoothie to go. Sand-free swimming is also within reach—both the Sand Dollar Pool and The Infinity Pool at The Residential Suites are nearby—and this is where you’ll saunter on horseback for sunset rides. 

Rancho has 5 beaches to explore. Surf, sandboard, or spend the day at the spa. You’ll find endless adventure here, whether you’re looking for a thrill or a new way to chill. Menus at Rancho Santana’s restaurant reflect the flavors of the land, the changing of the seasons, and the expert curation of its 5-star chefs. You’ll find international cuisine, traditional Nicaraguan dishes, and its own unique creations in the restaurants on property as part of your all-inclusive stay.

With oceanfront patios aplenty, personal infinity pools, and private beach access, accommodations at Rancho Santana are so much more than just a place to rest your head.
