Mukul Luxury Resort and Spa.

Set on Nicaragua’s Emerald Coast within the private 1,670-acre Guacalito de la Isla community, Mukul blends the exclusivity of a private estate with the amenities of a world-class resort. Founded by Nicaraguan businessman Don Carlos Pellas, the property avoids generic luxury in favor of deep local roots. Accommodations range from cliffside bohios with private plunge pools to expansive multi-bedroom villas. The standout Spa Mukul features six distinct, themed treatment casitas, functioning almost as six individual spas. Outside, the focus is on the dramatic Pacific landscape: guests have direct access to a premier surf zone with 17 nearby breaks, an 18-hole oceanfront golf course, and a lively beach club. It’s a secluded, active sanctuary that lives up to its Mayan name meaning "secret."
