Morgan’s Rock

Top choice in Southwestern Nicaragua


With its own idyllic tropical beach and 4000 acres of jungle, this fabulous ecolodge offers a superlative experience. Swim in the infinity pool and cross a suspension bridge to reach your dream treehouse cabin – gleaming with precious woods and dappled with the forest light – which filters through the parrot- and monkey-filled jungle canopy right into your screened-in porch.

Activities on offer include tours of the on-site sugar mill where Morgan's Rum is brewed, plus kayaking in the estuary, and meals include vegetables and herbs grown on the property.
