Aqua Wellness Resort

Overview

Description

Nestled on a private white sand beach along Nicaragua's Pacific coast, almost hidden among the treetops, lives a resort like no other.

Private, secluded villas, constructed of sustainable hardwoods and furnished by local artisans are your home while you enjoy Nicaragua at its purest.

Laze your days away admiring Playa la Redonda, our private white sand beach, or perhaps spoil yourself with professional spa and wellness offerings. Regain your spirit with yoga in one of the most beautiful settings you can imagine, or cast your line into some of the most productive fishing waters anywhere.

Rooms

The rooms at Aqua are part of elevated treetop villas that blend modern chic with local materials. Each villa is just footsteps from the beach, yet designed with privacy in mind.

• Our Penthouse rooms are two-room suites with a King master ensuite bedroom and a separate living room/private dining space below. Penthouse rooms have a full kitchen and fridge.
• Our Luxury suites are also two-room suites with a King master – the layout has both the King master and the kitchen/private dining space on the same level connected by wraparound outdoor decks.
• Our Treehouse rooms are single Queen ensuite bedrooms with whimsical finishes. Some feature outdoor Balinese showers.

Making a Difference

Aqua has used a number of sustainable technologies in the construction and operation of the resort, and we continue to advance our sustainability program. Our basic design minimizes impact by elevating the units off of the forest floor. This preserves the seepage area under the footprint of the hotel to prevent runoff problems on our slope, and allows us to individually position the villa units while respecting important primary forest species.

Aqua treats all its own sewage on site and uses local natural oils and products to maintain and beautify the resort. Our restaurant uses locally-grown and organic ingredients, and we provide tours and experiences that involve and employ the local communities.

Aqua benefits more than 100 local families, and employs around 100 proud Nicaraguans. We aim to play a guiding role in developing Nicaragua in the most environmentally and community conscious manner we can – improving upon other examples we have seen around Central America and the world.
