Nicaragua may be one of the world’s hot eco-destinations, but the lodgings left a lot to be desired -until Mukul opened last year. The resort is set on a majestic sweep of Nicaragua’s Pacific coast.The resort is made up of 12 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. Often referred as a private oasis on the Emerald Coast, the resort 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.
A David McLay Kidd signature 18 hole oceanfront golf course is set amidst the backdrop of the lush rainforest and rugged ocean bluffs – a worthy example of golf at its absolute finest.
