Mukul Beach, Golf & Spa
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. It 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.
