Nekupe Sporting Resort and Retreat is an intimate eight-room luxury property located on a 1,300-acre nature reserve in Nicaragua’s Pacific countryside, 30 minutes from the charming colonial town of Granada. The Chorotegas, a native Nicaraguan tribe, used the word “Nekupe” to describe heaven – and after one visit to Nekupe, you will understand why. A transformative sporting resort and retreat, Nekupe introduces the world to the generosity of Nicaragua through an amazing array of activities, experiences and culinary offerings, all within a setting where modern buildings beautifully integrate into natural surroundings.
At Nekupe, you will find a culture that is both exotic and organic – where you can escape the day-to-day and feel as if you’ve visited heaven on Earth.
The eight-room resort is comprised of a main residence, situated at the heart of the expansive reserve, and four bungalows thoughtfully positioned to immerse guests in nature. Each accommodation is filled with understated décor, a warm neutral palette and natural materials that draw the outside in. Windows frame exquisite views of the lush landscape right outside your door, and open layouts allow each room to flow into the next.
The feeling of calm fostered throughout Nekupe is further enhanced by the retreat’s beautiful spa and nature reserve. You may opt for a plethora of spa services, from massage to facials to full body scrubs, always using natural ingredients and infused with the essence of the local Nicaraguan culture.
From sunrise to sunset, Nekupe delivers experiences to keep you stimulated and inspired. Satisfy your spirit with daily yoga classes, evening poetry readings, marimba dancing and private cooking lessons.
Explore on land and water with tours of Granada and nearby islands, the Mombacho and Masaya Volcanos and Lake Nicaragua. Enjoy monkey watching excursions, hikes of Cerro Negro and bird-watching outings. Get adventurous with ATV riding, sport fishing, surfing lessons, helicopter tours and at our shooting range. At Nekupe, there is something for every style of traveler.
