Come explore Nicaragua through yoga and surfing. Our all-inclusive surf and yoga retreat provides the opportunity for guests to truly relax, slow down, and experience living in the present moment. Here at Ama Vida Retreat we allow guests to customize their vacation to fit their own personal desires with a myriad of activities to choose from each day. There are truly more activities available than you will have time for so be sure to pace yourself and reserve some time for rest and relaxation too!

Our intention is to share an authentic taste of Nicaragua making for a truly memorable and enriching visit. Watch the sun rise and set from our beach front platform listening to the sound of the waves crashing on the beach, or surf through sunset and enjoy watching the sun melt away into the Pacific. Our guides will take you to all the local gems, thermal hot springs, tucked away tide pools, and multiple different surf breaks to accommodate all levels from beginners to advanced.

When it comes to surfing, Southern Nicaragua is a very special place. The geography of the country draws wind from the Caribbean and creates off-shore wind all day long, 300+ days a year. This amazing phenomenon creates a surfers dream vacation. Our Yoga and Surf retreat is centrally located on a fifteen mile stretch of coastline that contains a wide variety of surf breaks. Allow us to share the valuable knowledge acquired from living in this area so you can rest assured you are making the most out of your vacation.

Beginners will enjoy easy going surf lessons from our surf instructors, and advanced surfers will be guided to the best breaks in the area. Long point breaks, river mouths, reefs, and barreling beach breaks are peppered up and down the warm waters of Nicaragua's coastline.

Rejuvenate the mind body and spirit and completely immerse yourself in yoga. Come explore where you are today and where you’d like to grow with a supportive community of like-minded friends. Together we will explore yoga through pranayama, meditation, asana, nature and community making friendships and memories that will last a lifetime.

Our intention is to create a playful yet supportive environment that encourages growth physically, mentally and spiritually. The core of our retreat is a twice a day, sunrise, sunset practice which will include guided meditation, pranayama and asana. We also include a private yoga session for each guest to focus on whatever their heart desires. Our aim is to help you establish, rekindle, or refine a daily practice as well as to inspire conscious living on and off the mat.

One of the best ways to dig into a new culture is to immerse yourself in service. We offer volunteer opportunities every day for those who would like to dig into Nicaraguan daily life. Spend a few hours in the afternoon with local kids at Una Esculita, an after school program which offers tremendous support to the local community. Kids are assisted in finishing homework and are rewarded with games, art projects, and a full belly to go home with.
