Studio in Ometepe

The Space

This charming cabin is nestled within the lush wilderness of Ometepe Island, situated on a family-run organic homestead. It offers tranquil views of Conception Volcano and the lake’s sunset. Guests can enjoy a private, peaceful retreat featuring:

• A comfortable king-size firm bed with cotton sheets, pillows, and a high-quality mosquito net
• A private outdoor shower with hot water and breathtaking sunset views
• Private composting toilets

You will have access to a covered kitchen and living area on the farm, equipped with:

• Stove
• Sink
• Refrigerator and freezer
• Vitamix blender
• Water filter (the water comes directly from a volcanic spring, known for its exceptional quality)

Seasonal organic farm products such as greens, herbs, honey, and homemade yogurt are available for purchase to complement your meals.

Please note that the farm kitchen is open to the outdoors, and the cabin has openings for airflow, so some insects may be present. The farm is located in wild nature, so guests should be comfortable living alongside birds, monkeys, insects, and farm animals like cats, dogs, and chickens.

Location and Access

The cabin is located on a 22-acre private farm with no immediate neighbors. You are welcome to explore the permaculture garden, relax in a hammock under a mango tree, or take advantage of nearby hiking trails. Local trusted guides can be arranged upon request.

The farm is accessible via a dirt road off the main paved route between Santa Cruz and Merida, just before El Caiman. Directions:

1. Look for a large painted white rock shaped like a chair on the left side of the road (called "Piedra Blanca" or The White Rock).
2. Take the dirt road at this point.
3. Travel 1.1 kilometers uphill, passing three houses.
4. At the end of the road, ignore the sign for "Inanitah" and instead take the stone-paved road to the left uphill.
5. The cabin is located at the top of this stone-paved hill on the left.
6. The farm kitchen is a brick building next to a greenhouse further along the property.
7. The host’s house is a large wooden and white building beyond the farm kitchen.

Please do not rely on Google Maps for directions, as it does not accurately locate the farm.

Transportation and Arrival

• The farm can arrange a trusted 4x4 taxi from the ferry; please contact in advance to book this service.
• Local buses run several times daily between Santa Cruz and Merida and stop near the farm if requested.
• A 4x4 vehicle or motorbike is recommended, especially during the rainy season (June to December), as the dirt road can become muddy and rough.
• Arriving after dark is not advised due to the lack of street lighting and the off-grid nature of the location. The cabin has no electricity, so bring a flashlight or headlamp in addition to your phone light. Candles are provided.
• If you arrive late and the hosts are present, they will assist you. If not, finding the cabin in the dark may be difficult.
