About MonoLoko Lodge
MonoLoko Lodge is a fully operational, cash-flow positive surf lodge just five minutes from Playa Santana, also known as Jiquelite. The turnkey property sits on a 1,153 square meter lot only 600 meters from the beach and includes a full-service restaurant, swimming pool, two story residence, and four guest bungalows. It is sold fully furnished with established infrastructure, a website, and a social media presence, and you can choose to retain the existing staff. With clean title and full ownership, this is a rare chance to acquire a functioning hospitality business with real expansion potential in one of Nicaragua’s growing surf destinations.
The Property Layout
The layout balances social gathering areas with guest privacy, which makes it work for both short stays and retreat-style use. At the center is a large swimming pool with ample deck space, an open-air lounge, and a yoga deck. The grounds are surrounded by tropical gardens, coconut palms, and hammocks. You also get regular visits from friendly tropical birds, monkeys, and iguanas. The pool and deck function as the social heart of the property, where guests gather between surf sessions.
Main Residence
The two story main house gives owners or on-site managers comfortable living space, with two bedrooms, a private office, one bathroom, an open concept kitchen and living area, a large outdoor terrace, and a fenced private garden.
Guest Bungalows
Four independent bungalows sit around the property, three with queen beds and one with two singles. Each has a private en-suite bathroom, hot water shower, ceiling fan, and a private terrace overlooking the pool and gardens. The configuration hosts couples, small groups, and surf travelers comfortably, and there is room to add a fifth bungalow for additional income.
A Rare Surf Lodge Investment on the Emerald Coast
Operating hospitality properties near Playa Santana rarely come to market. MonoLoko Lodge stands out as a turnkey surf lodge with an established guest experience, a tropical setting, and immediate operational capacity. A new owner can keep running it as a surf accommodation business, develop retreats, or expand the restaurant and bar to serve the growing number of tourists in the area. The combination of location, infrastructure, and natural setting supports a range of hospitality concepts.
Steps from Playa Santana and the Popoyo Surf Coast
MonoLoko Lodge sits in one of Nicaragua’s most recognized surf regions. Playa Santana, also called Playa Jiquelite, is a five minute walk away and offers consistent waves along a wide stretch of Pacific coastline, with fast, punchy lefts and rights close to shore and a hollow left at the north end for advanced surfers on bigger swells.
A short drive north, the coastline around Popoyo holds several well known breaks. The famous Outer Reef handles large Pacific swells over deeper water, the main Popoyo wave delivers dependable surf across many tides and swell sizes, and Beginners Bay offers a softer, forgiving wave ideal for learning and progression. Between Playa Santana, Popoyo, the Outer Reef, and Beginners Bay, this stretch of coast offers an exceptional variety of waves within a short distance of the lodge. It’s one of the most alluring features that keep surfers coming back all year long.
Accessibility and Setting
MonoLoko Lodge is less than two hours from Managua International Airport, so international guests can reach it in a single travel day. The ongoing Carretera Costanera coastal highway continues to improve connectivity along the coast. As that infrastructure expands, areas near established surf destinations like Playa Santana are positioned for continued tourism and investment growth. From the lodge, guests can easily reach Playa Gigante (20min), Hacienda Iguana (15min), El Astillero (15min), and San Juan del Sur (45min).
