Exclusive Listing: A Unique Turnkey Beachside Development Opportunity, Popoyo
This is an exclusive opportunity to acquire two physically adjoining properties as one offering in one of Nicaragua’s most sought-after surf and coastal areas. Together, MonoLoko Lodge and La Selva offer an unusual combination of an established, functioning, cash-flow-positive hospitality business and a substantial development opportunity, just 600 meters from the beach and the sands of Jiquelite.
The offering gives an investor the opportunity to acquire an income-producing hospitality business while also controlling additional land with multiple potential uses. For a developer, the existing lodge provides an established operating foundation, while the adjoining property offers room for expansion and new development. An owner-operator can also create a larger coastal investment with multiple income and development possibilities.
The two properties sit directly next to one another, and each has its own access to the main beach road. This provides excellent accessibility while allowing the properties to operate independently. MonoLoko Lodge is a fully operational surf lodge sold turnkey. La Selva includes six divided lots, one completed home, and five additional lots ready for development according to the new owner’s plans.
Together, the properties offer both immediate operating income and significant future potential. The buyer can continue operating the established lodge while utilizing the adjoining La Selva property for additional residences, rental accommodations, hospitality facilities, personal-use properties, or other development concepts.

An Operating Business Plus Development Potential
The strength of this offering is the combination of an established hospitality business and an adjoining property offering substantial flexibility for future development.
MonoLoko Lodge provides immediate operational capacity with four guest bungalows, a restaurant and bar, swimming pool, gardens, and established hospitality infrastructure. The property is already operating and can continue as a surf lodge, retreat property, or other hospitality concept.
Immediately adjoining MonoLoko, La Selva provides additional land that the new owner can develop according to their objectives. The property currently consists of six lots. The five undeveloped lots are not limited to residential use. Their future use is open to the buyer’s vision and investment strategy, subject to applicable regulations and approvals.
Because the properties are physically adjoining, the buyer gains the advantages of controlling a larger contiguous holding. Each property also retains separate access from the main beach road.
This allows the properties to function as a larger coastal investment rather than simply as two individual properties. The buyer could maintain the existing lodge operation while developing the adjoining property over time. This could create additional accommodations, residences, hospitality facilities, or other uses.
MonoLoko Lodge
MonoLoko is located approximately 600 meters from the beach and within walking distance of Playa Santana, also known as Playa Jiquelite. The lodge is designed around a central swimming pool and outdoor gathering areas. Four independent guest bungalows are positioned around the property.
Three bungalows have queen beds, while one has two single beds. Each includes a private en-suite bathroom, hot-water shower, ceiling fan, and private terrace overlooking the pool and gardens.
The two-story main residence provides two bedrooms, one bathroom, an office, open-concept kitchen and living space, outdoor terrace, and private garden.
The property also includes a full-service restaurant and bar, yoga deck, tropical gardens, and established hospitality infrastructure.
La Selva
La Selva consists of approximately 1,800 m² divided into six lots. One lot includes a completed 100 m² home with three bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, a private swimming pool, and indoor and outdoor living areas.
The remaining five lots are vacant and ready for development. Infrastructure already serves the property, including water, electricity ready for connection, individual water tanks, and septic systems. Six private storage bodegas are also included, with one assigned to each lot.
The existing infrastructure and lot configuration give the buyer considerable flexibility. The undeveloped lots can form part of a larger master plan or the buyer can develop them individually according to their objectives.
A Prime Location on Nicaragua’s Surf Coast
The properties are positioned in the Playa Santana and Popoyo area, one of Nicaragua’s best-known surf regions. They are only 600 meters from the sands of Jiquelite, placing the combined property within easy reach of the Pacific beach and the area’s established surf community.
The properties are also approximately one mile from the main Coastal Highway, providing convenient access to Popoyo, Playa Santana, Jiquelite, El Astillero, Hacienda Iguana, San Juan Del Sur, and other coastal communities.
The broader Popoyo surf zone offers access to numerous well-known breaks, including Popoyo Main Break, Outer Reef, Beginners Bay, Playa Santana, and other waves along this stretch of the Pacific coast.
The area continues to attract surfers, travelers, vacationers, and property investors. Improving coastal infrastructure is also strengthening connections throughout Nicaragua’s Pacific coast.
A Rare Opportunity for a Coastal Investor
Individual operating surf lodges and development properties occasionally come to market. However, the opportunity to acquire an established hospitality operation together with an adjoining property offering substantial development flexibility is considerably less common.
For an investor, the attraction is the ability to acquire an income-producing hospitality business while also controlling additional land with multiple potential uses. For a developer, the existing lodge provides an operating foundation while the adjoining property offers room for expansion.
An owner-operator can combine hospitality, residential, personal-use, and other development concepts within one larger coastal investment.
With two adjoining properties, separate beach-road access, an operating surf lodge, an existing residence, five additional undeveloped lots, substantial infrastructure already in place, and a location just 600 meters from the sands of Jiquelite, this exclusive offering provides an unusual combination of immediate income and long-term potential.
