  • Popoyo

    Popoyo Beach is situated on the Emerald Cost in the town of Rivas. Once considered a hard-to-reach gem, there is a brand new road that connects the center of the country to this beautiful beach. With a relaxed feel and recent developments, this untouched beauty is waiting for you to explore.

  • El Agua

    Popoyo Beach is a 2-5 minute walk from the retreat center. Unlimited access to the beach, pool, sauna and cold plunge are included in your stay. Please use caution when swimming in the ocean or pool. It is not recommended to submerge yourself in water if you do not know how to swim. The waves at Popoyo Beach are some of the most beautiful & strong on Earth. You may use your leisure time to hire a surf instructor or rent a board at your own risk!

  • Respect

    Out of respect for the culture, your retreat includes a tip for the staff, most of whom call Nicaragua their home and sustain jobs at Hide & Seek. You may choose to leave gratuity for a massage therapist, the aerial instructor or your driver. Listening to your guides during cultural tours, sessions and patience with language barriers.
