Yes, it is true: South-western Nicaragua receives 300+ days of offshore winds per year. The constant South swells, warm and pristine water, and the beautiful untouched surroundings, make our region a true surfers’ paradise with countless waves to explore.
Surf all day long and on any tide.

The more well known spots withing walking distance include Playa Santana which is the wedgy beachbreak right in front of our hotel, the lefthand reef of Playa Rosada, classic Playa Popoyo and the infamous Outer Reef.

The mentioned breaks are just the ones within walking distance from Buena Onda Beach Resort. Our area is very wave rich and once you hop in a car or in a boat, there are many more options. There are waves here for every taste, make sure you talk to us about your needs, we will do our best to help you find what you are looking for.

ACCOMMODATION TYPES

Beach Standard Rooms
Our cozy, family-style main-house features five “Standard” rooms. All rooms have access to a shared, bright and spacious covered patio area.

Here you’ll find countless hammocks, tables and chairs for lounging and making friends and a wide-open view of the pool and restaurant with the ocean in the background. The design and orientation of the hotel structure was developed with the natural environment in mind. The rooms are well protected from direct sunlight by a super-structure roof, dramatically reducing radiant heat from the tropical sun. The famous Nicaraguan off-shore breezes provide refreshing ventilation, which passes through each room, creating a comfortable temperature day and night and greatly reducing the need for artificial cooling. All of our Standard rooms have ceiling fans for additional comfort.

Beach Deluxe Rooms
If you like all the comforts of home away from home, this is your best bet! In separate, more private buildings yet still close to all amenities we offer six “Deluxe" rooms.

These rooms have A/C throughout, two completely private porches (one in the front and one in the back), satellite TV with international programs, coffee maker, a safe to keep your belongings, fridge and loads of room to breathe and store your gear. The bathrooms are really spacious and stylish with rain showers with hot, pressurized water. Pure Buena Onda Luxury!

Looking to get away in style? The two Buena Onda Villas are the ultimate in luxurious, tropical-modern beachfront accommodation. The beautiful two story structures each sit on their own large 600 square meter lot. They offer a unique mix of privacy paired with easy access to all amenities of the Buena Onda Beach Resort.

Hilltop Villas
This is a new and different Buena Onda Experience! These Villas are all unique, different and privately owned. The Buena Onda Beach Resort team built and equipped these villas to the highest standards. The owners decided to share their paradisiacal homes with Buena Onda Beach Resort Guests.

All Hill Villas are on a small hill behind Buena Onda Beach Resort, approximately 1.5km distance. To get the most out of renting one of those homes we recommend renting a vehicle. Even though the houses are only 700m from the waterline the walk down (and especially up) can be hard in the heat.

We currently operate and service four Hilltop Villas. All of them have their own private pool, lush gardens and sit on a large private estate. The small hilltop community is gated and 24/7 security is ensured. Staying at one of the Hill Villas you have of course access to all amenities of Buena Onda Beach Resort down on the beach at any time. Buena Onda Beach Resort is less than a 5mn drive down the hill. Really want to spoil yourself? A Buena Onda Beach Resort Hill Villa may just be the right thing to book!

SURF COURSE AND ACTIVITIES

SURF COURSE DETAILS

---

Many waves in our area are not accessible by car. Some of them are of world-class quality and consistency. If you want to escape the ordinary, surf different waves and spend a lovely day on the water, one of our boat trips might be just right for you.

Our panga leaves from the fishing village of El Astillero. From there we run two different packages. Tour “Norte” heads, as the name suggests, North, while “Sur” goes South. Both of the tours access a variety of different waves. Wind, tide and swell patterns and the kind of waves you are looking for help decide where to go.

Our boat trip packages include transportation from Buena Onda Beach Resort to El Astillero and back, snacks and soft-drinks, and guiding.

OTHER ACTIVITIES

For the sport fisherman (or woman!) the variety of fish along our coastline will be sure to entice you. There’s Mahi Mahi, Yellow fin Tuna, Roosterfish, Mackerel, and Sailfish (amongst others!) just a little ways off-shore or you can opt to bottom fish for all sizes of Red Snapper. Talk to us about booking your own customized fishing trip.
Fishing trips include transportation from Buena Onda Beach Resort to El Astillero, rods, tackle, bait, snacks and soft-drinks.

Fishing and Surfing can of course be combined. Shoot us an email or inquire at the resort for receiving a custom quote for your desired boat package aboard the Queen Mary. We would love to take you out!
