Nicaragua may be one of the world’s hot eco-destinations, but the lodgings were hippie-chic at best—until Mukul opened last year. The resort, set on a majestic sweep of Nicaragua’s Pacific coast, is the brainchild of Don Carlos Pellas of the billionaire Pellas family, whose holistic vision for the area includes conservation and new jobs for the surrounding communities. It’s both epic and intimate: Twelve clay-tile-roofed villas and 23 bohios (huts with their own plunge pools) are tucked into a beachscape of wide-screen beauty, while the grand open-air lobby is configured in the palapa style. The thing I appreciated most, however, was the sense of discretion that prevails here: Mukul means secret in Tzotzil, a Mayan language, and indeed everything from the subtle service to the privacy-ensuring sight lines (even the golf course, located in a lush valley behind the hotel, is all but invisible from the rooms) delivers beautifully on that promise.
Mukul is closer than you think. International flights to Nicaragua land at Sandino International Airport in Managua, the nation’s capital, and are short two- to three-hour jaunts from major transportation hubs like Miami, Houston, Ft. Lauderdale and Atlanta.
Each of the 37 guest accommodations offers space and privacy in a style that fully embodies and compliments the natural surroundings. Views of the ocean come standard. Craft furnishings and decorations come straight from Nicaraguan artisans – carved native teak tables, sugarcane twig headboards and rum barrel staves. In Bohios, Beach Villas or in the crown jewel, Casona Don Carlos, make yourself at home.
The Spa Mukul includes six experiences housed in six individual, private spa suites, each equally harnessing a different ancient healing tradition, often using local Nicaraguan ingredients. This isn't a spa where you check in at the front desk or wait in reception. Instead, you are personally escorted to your pre-booked private spa for the day.
Every day another secret revealed. Mukul isn’t a secret you can tell through only sights and sounds. This is a secret that requires a full, uncharted experience complete with excursions to nearby beaches and villages, tastes of authentic food and legendary Flor de Caña rum and short helicopter rides to beautiful islands and fascinating volcanoes. Once you’re immersed in all of Mukul’s activities, don’t be surprised if you find yourself hiking up the dramatic cliffs to shout the secret to the world.
Limitless leisure. Enthralling activities. The choice is yours. The options are many. And you’ll discover things here on Nicaragua’s stunning Emerald Coast that you simply can’t find anywhere else – like biking through the rain forest, golfing in the jungle or on the ocean-shore, and day-tripping to the historic village of Granada.
Dishes created by our culinary team grace our menus and bring innovative creations to our tables. Many of La Mesa dishes in high demand are Dover Sole Sashimi with Japanese Rice; Croquette and Ponzu Foam; and Homemade Pappardelle with Wild Mushrooms, Cream, Veal Cheeks and Truffle Oil. If there’s one place you should dine during your stay, it’s La Mesa. This private dining room by the sea offers Mesoamerican ingredients and incredible décor of mementos and photography chronicling the 135-year history of the Pellas family in Nicaragua. And while you’re here, get in touch with more history with our legendary, world-acclaimed and award-winning Flor de Caña rums.
