Discover boutique and luxury honeymoon hotels in San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua

Beachside San Juan del Sur is the largest town in the Departamento do Rivas; it has charming Victorian houses and a statue of Christ that echoes Rio’s mountaintop saviour. The best restaurants serve fresh-from-the-sea dishes; however, the area’s main draw is its outdoor adventuring and a landscapes that’s inspired many a plane-ticket booking. Volcanic peaks Concepción and Maderas soar up out of Lake Nicaragua with a trail of smaller isles in their shadow; climb to their summits or seek out the pre-Columbian petroglyphs that lay at their bases. Protected rainforests shelter howler, spider and capuchin monkeys, and sloths cling to the branches, and outdoor adventurers will find plenty to do, whether it’s hiking, surfing, horse riding or a bit of beachcombing along the region’s renowned beaches.
