Set where Nicaragua’s lush tropical hills and forests meet breathtaking shorelines, Rancho Santana is an adventurer’s paradise and a wellness sanctuary.

Sea turtle sanctuary and conservation

Rancho Santana is home to about 6,000 green sea turtles that lay their eggs in the sand at one of the five beaches, Playa Escondida, each year.
