Morgan’s Rock

San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua

Nicaragua / San Juan del Sur / Morgan’s Rock Ecolodge & Hacienda

A fusion of treetop luxury and sustainability in Nicaragua’s mecca of surfing, San Juan del Sur

If you’re looking to live out a Swiss Family Robinson fantasy, this drool-worthy eco-lodge hugging the emerald coasts of San Juan del Sur might be your ticket. Flanked by lush jungle and creamy sand beaches, the setting is as stunning as the treetop interiors combining impeccable taste with a deliciously chill, laid-back vibe. Rooms are tastefully decorated with handcrafted furniture, king-sized beds encased in mosquito nets, and floor-to-ceiling screened walls creating a continuous dialogue between inside and out.

And Morgan’s Rock has undoubtedly earned its sustainable badge thanks to its low-impact design blending into the surroundings, farm-to-table dishes, and dogged commitment to conserving both environment and the local community.

“Playing with time. Working with nature.”

—Morgan’s Rock

the impact.

Eco-design

Over 90% of the wood was sourced from naturally fallen hurricane wood (minimizing the impact on surrounding forests); Roofs were made from palm leaves (regenerating to full size in 3-4 months after being cut) and eucalyptus beams (with an estimated 5-6 year regrow to a harvestable size).

Conservation-driven

Established on a massive private nature reserve, the hotel prides itself on its land conservation and wildlife protection credentials. Committed to marine turtle conservation, anti-poaching, and tree planting and reforestation initiatives.
