STATE OF MIND
Aurea offers guests a unique and well-rounded experience. We have a variety of unforgettable activities to compliment every moment of your stay. Whether you join us to rest and relax, be super active, or immerse yourself in nature, there’s truly something for everyone.
SURF
We first came here chasing waves and we really just couldn’t leave! With off-Shore winds and perfect sunny weather all year round, the surf on the Emerald Coast is the best in Nicaragua with great variety for all skill levels, from sandy bottom beach breaks to more aggressive pointbreaks to more aggressive breaks and shallow rock A-frames.
If you want to get barreled, Playa Colorado is the place to visit in Nicaragua. The secret is out and you won’t be surfing this spot alone. If it turns on, you will likely get one of the best barrels of your life. This wave can work on all tides, frequently changes personalities, and can dish out a beating.
GOLF
Hacienda Iguana Golf & Beach Resort is the pioneer in Nicaragua’s golf push. We offer a whole new and unique golfing experience all set within one of the most scenic locations on Nicaragua’s Riviera. The high-end condominium and residential development took the bold first step in constructing a challenging, well-manicured and pleasantly landscaped 9-hole course shaped to the natural contours of the coast.
The course, which opened in 2004, is one of Nicaragua’s best-kept sporting secrets, despite being affordable and fun. The luscious greens and steep bunkers will keep you coming back day after day to work on your drive or hone the short game. Designed by Niels Oldenburg, the course features some tricky holes. Such as a tough uphill green on hole 4, a large tree in the fairway that swats down your drive on hole 3, and a beautiful water trap on hole 8 that is home to Omar the caiman.
HORSEBACK RIDING
There is no better way to experience the unmatched beauty of Nicaragua than on horseback. From sunset rides with ocean breezes to cultural tours of nearby villages, we offer a variety of horseback adventures for all levels of riders. Our horseback riding service can start from any of our locations, the beach club or any other spot inside the hacienda.
The beach ride can be planned either for sunrise or sunset, and can include a quick tour of the hacienda and its surroundings, normally hired per hour, and with a maximum of 6 people, this ride is ideal for less experienced guests, and also for kids or elder people who will always have a quick turnaround back to their accommodation.
