Nicaragua’s quiet renaissance.
In the news
A destination on the rise.
Nicaragua is in the middle of a quiet hospitality renaissance. Once the territory of intrepid backpackers and dedicated surfers, the country’s Pacific coast is now the focus of attention from the world’s leading travel publications and the travelers they cover. Mandla sits at the center of this emerging destination — a hand-built oceanfront property in El Tránsito, on a stretch of coastline that is finally getting the recognition it has always deserved.
