Amaru is a mythological double headed serpent which represents balance, transformation, and creative power. It reminds us that we can direct both our inner and outer energies with intention and purpose through observation of the elemental changes around us.
ACCOMMODATION AND CATERING
ACCOMMODATION TYPES
Our Property
Our 40 acre point reaches out into the Pacific ocean, dividing two beautiful beaches with world class surf, but its not just our location that makes Amaru so special. The magic that stems from our eden can be found among our gardens, wellness shalas, and other unique structures that give you the chance to participate, or detach from communal activities and find the appropriate space that are looking for in aims of complete restoration. Check out our various facilities, and let them inspire you.
The Rooms
We have 13 simple yet elegant private rooms that can accommodate single, double, or triple occupancy. Retreat hosts will receive their double occupancy room free of charge. All of our shared rooms are private and not public, so you will have the privacy of just you or the chosen roommate you are traveling with. All rooms receive daily housekeeping. Each room has an ensuite, private bathroom, 100% cotton linens and bath towels, AC, and high-speed WIFI.
Yoga Shala
Hidden in the Canopy of the Banyan trees, our Yoga Shala is truly a sacred sanctuary of peace and tranquility. With views of two different beaches, great airflow, and the sound of crashing waves, the yoga shala is the perfect place to connect with your inner peace.
Casa Blanca
One of our guest houses where you can appreciate the sounds of silence around you. Spoil yourself with an ocean view when you walk out of your room, and enjoy one of 6 rooms that are tucked away in this beautiful house.
Casa Principal
Surrounded by our gardens and the pool, the main house is where all the magic of Amaru takes place. This rustic, centerpiece of Amaru’s property has multiple lounge areas, and allows for guests to find solitude in the comfort of their rooms. There are 7 unique rooms, all with their touch of comfort and authenticity to Amaru’s principles of sustainability building the furniture from materials sourced on our property.
Massage Shala
Receive a wellness treatment on top of a cliff with a panoramic ocean view. The gentle breeze of the ocean wind keeps this area cool and comfortable while you relax into your massage and melt into your therapeutic massage with our certified professionals.
CATERING
Our Permaculture Philosophy
The concept of Permaculture stems from an awareness that our surrounding natural ecosystems are abundant, diverse, and extraordinary teachers for how natural resources work synergistically together. Rather than using conventional forms of farming to overly manipulate the environment to increase our yields, we seek relationships already present in the natural world that complement and work with each other. The closer we can simulate a closed-loop system of sustainability, the more successful we are in listening to and learning from our local environment. Our Permaculture mission is at the core of our wellness resort’s founding values.
Home-Made Pizza Oven
Every Friday night we invite the entire community to come and enjoy home-made wood fired pizza out of our sustainable pizza oven. The materials were all sourced from our property, and the pizza has been claimed as some of the best in the surrounding area.
SURF COURSE AND ACTIVITIES
SURF COURSE DETAILS
Northern Nicaragua Surf
There are but a few corners of the globe left that have uncrowded, world-class waves, and northern Nicaragua is one of them. Surfers have traveled to Nicaragua for decades, but they predominately stick to the southern beaches due to the easy access and proximity to the Costa Rican border. Northern Nicaragua has remained lightly trekked compared to its neighbors. With waves for every level of surfer, there’s no better place to experience the surf in Nicaragua.
MORE INFO, HOW TO GET THERE & FAQ
SURF CONDITIONS
Breaks directly at the main spot and at nearby spots
Fast breaking, hollow, and picture-perfect—the Boom breaks with a thunderous roar (hence the name) without a drop of water out of place. The Boom works best on small to medium size swells with light or offshore wind. As is the case with many world-class waves, the Boom occasionally collects a tax in the form of broken boards. If you’re here to surf the Boom, pack a few boards.
La Isla
About half a mile offshore, a small, narrow barrier island situated just off the river mouth produces a left-hand point break that can hold serious size. La Isla is not as steep or as critical of a wave as the Boom, but it is the spot to be for larger swells. When La Isla is firing, we take a boat from the estuary and surf till we’ve had our fill.
Nahualapa
A favorite surf spot for intermediates and longboarders, Playa Nahualapa churns out perfect peelers during the Dry Season (November-April) and is a go-to spot for surf lessons. In the Rainy Season (May-October), Nahualapa turns into a fun, yet challenging beach break. In the right conditions, Nahualapa works like a right-hand pointbreak.
Amaru Beach
Amaru Beach is just a short walk down the stairs from our clifftop wellness resort. The waves at Amaru Beach are gentle and beginner-friendly. During larger swells, a playful left peels from the cliff towards the middle of the beach.
Aposentillo
Aposentillo is a beginner-friendly beach break tucked away where the palm trees melt into the ocean. Only a short walk from Amaru, beginners can practice pop-ups and master riding down the line, whiIe advanced surfers can find fun peaks further down the beach.
Da Rivermouth
There are still quite a few Northern Nicaraguan surf breaks that only a handful of surfers know about. We love to explore by car and boat with our guests to find uncrowded peaks and pioneer the untapped potential of our beautiful coastline.
Jiquilillo
The day trip to Jiquillio is one of our guests’ favorite adventures. 20 km away, Jiquillio breaks similarly to the Boom during the swell season but softens up to a loggable wave at high tide in the offseason. Dozens of peaks and hardly ever another surfer in sight.
