Dreaming of a place where world-class surf meets championship golf, all within a secure, amenity-rich community? Hacienda Iguana, the pioneering golf and beach club on Nicaragua’s Emerald Coast, is not just a destination—it’s a lifestyle and a compelling opportunity for investors and vacationers alike
Established as one of Nicaragua’s first master-planned communities, Hacienda Iguana spans approximately 345 acres of pristine Pacific coastline. It’s a fully realized world offering a rare blend of adventure, relaxation, and community spirit, from its challenging 9-hole golf course to its famed surf breaks
The community’s crown jewel is its over one-mile stretch of private, white-sand beach. Unlike other Central American destinations, this area benefits from a unique geography that provides year-round deep water swells and over 300 days annually of consistent offshore winds.
Right on its shores, you’ll find two world-renowned surf breaks:
With up to 10 different surf spots in the immediate area, surfers of all levels will find their perfect wave
Beyond the surf, the centerpiece of the community is its beautifully manicured 9-hole golf course, designed by Niels Oldenburg. Winding through the natural coastal contours, it offers a fun and affordable challenge for all skill levels, complete with resident wildlife like “Omar the caiman” on the 8th hole
| For the Active Vacationer | For the Relaxation Seeker |
|---|---|
| Surfing (lessons & rentals available) | Multiple swimming pools |
| Golfing & Fishing Charters | On-site spa (Pure Spa) |
| Horseback Riding & Hiking | Yoga classes |
| Scooter & Dirt Bike Rentals | Wildlife Watching (turtles, monkeys, tropical birds) |
The community fosters a vibrant social scene with a surprising array of dining options. You can enjoy Spanish fusion cuisine at Pili’s Kitchen right on the beach, authentic Nicaraguan food at Casa Madera, handcrafted pizza at Casa Ananas, craft cocktails at The Salty Koala, and homemade ice cream any time of day at Scoops and Spokes. The sense of a tight-knit, secure community is bolstered by 24-hour gated security.
Hacienda Iguana offers a diverse real estate portfolio designed to suit different lifestyles and investment goals. The master plan includes over 200 sold lots, 80 condos, and more than 30 built homes, with options ranging from beachfront estates to golf course villas and condos

Getting to paradise is easier than ever, thanks to transformative infrastructure developments.
While it’s referenced in some older materials as being a short drive away, travelers should not rely on it for their arrival plans and should instead fly into Managua (MGA).
The most significant development for access is the new “Carretera Costanera” or Coastal Highway. This $400+ million dollar infrastructure project is dramatically reshaping travel along the Pacific coast.
