Maybe this has not been at the top of your list but lets be honest, just booking and knowing you are going is exciting and that is before you have even touched down in this beautiful and diverse country. The Soma Surf Resort is, as you would suspect, a surfing location but it is more, so much more, than surfing. The customer service at this resort stands out above the best, because their attention to detail, whatever your requirements make your trip the best ever so if you are travelling alone or within a group you can be sure that each one of you will leave on a high, buzzing from the experience and wondering why you left it so long to visit. So lets start with surfing! Soma is located on the the Pacific Coast of Nicaragua in Central America, which is known for its consistent waves due to the prevailing offshore winds that blow approximately 300 days of the year. The conditions stay clean most of the day due to these winds,which means you can balance your stay between surfing and some of the other great activities available to you. There are a variety of point and beach breaks for surfers of all ability levels, with more than 10 world class surf breaks all within 35 minutes of your resort. You can come here having never even touched a surfboard and leave, well, better than you arrived! You can book all inclusive here, which is another added bonus, and makes balancing your finances easier and of course, you can organise your stay before you arrive so everything is organised in advance, or, you can just take a day at a time. So what else can you get up whilst you are here? You have the opportunity to take part in fishing, horseback riding, visiting tidal pools and natural hot springs, you can hike and something I personally love, you can hike to one of the largest nesting beaches of the Olive Ridley turtles. Walk through and observe indigenous flora and fauna. Don’t be surprised when you hear the howls of the howler monkeys. This seems to be one of their favorite spots! This is real nature, in their own habitat, wild and free to which you have the privilege of visiting, an absolute must. If you are into fitness then you have come to the right place with the fitness and spa facilities at Soma you can go as hard core or as relaxed as you want so if you want to get into martial arts and boxing, hang from a zip line or want to join a yoga class followed by a massage and a dip in the infinity pool, it is all here waiting for you. www.internationallifestylemagazine.com If getting out and about is on your “To do list” then there are plenty of excursions where you can discover more of the beauty of this stunning country, the people and the history so you leave with a deeper understanding and connection. Your accommodation is beautiful, comfortable and built from local materials to a very high standard, a place to unwind and sleep like a baby at the end of your busy day. You can begin your evening in the bar and lounge where you can design your own cocktail and take the recipe home with you, along with a selection of healthy options too. From here you can venture into the restaurant where beautiful and delicious food is served and you are welcome to visit the kitchen and see for yourself how the food is prepared for you. This really is a destination that suits everyone from the very active to, well, the opposite of that! With all vacations there is an element of their success being placed on you, but then, with Soma Surf Resort you rea lly have no need to worry, you cannot fail to have a good time.
