Family vacations

A Nicaragua family vacation where nobody has to cook.

Room for grandparents, parents and kids at Playa Maderas, with meals made for you and the beach at the bottom of the path.

Why it works

Everyone together. Everyone looked after.

  • One villa for up to 8, or three villas side by side for up to 16.
  • Meals handled. A private chef cooks at the villa, with allergies and picky eaters planned for.
  • Flexible bedrooms. Tell us who is sharing and we set up the rooms before you arrive.
  • Surf lessons for all ages with local instructors.
  • A host on the ground, so the adults get a vacation too.

Questions

Family questions.

Is Playa Maderas good for a family trip?

A private villa suits families well: everyone stays together, meals are cooked for you and a host is on hand. Tell us the ages in your group and we plan around them.

How many people fit?

2 to 8 in Villa Delfin, or 8 to 16 across three villas side by side.

Can the chef cook for kids and allergies?

Yes. Tell us when you ask for your quote.

How do we get there from the airport?

Your driver meets you at arrivals. Managua is about 2.5 hours by road. Liberia in Costa Rica is about 3 hours and includes a border crossing.

Tell us who is in the family. We will fit the villa to you.
