San Juan del Sur:
San Juan del Sur, once a small fishing village located on the southern coast of Nicaragua, is becoming a true vacation destination. Beautiful luxury homes dot the surrounding hillside overlooking the bay, luring the discriminating tourist. There are beautiful beaches both north and south of San Juan del Sur with great surfing and diving available. Sport fishing is also a great pastime as is hiking, biking and sailing.
Located just one hour from the Costa Rican border and one and a half hours from Granada, many tourists are splitting their vacation between the two countries. San Juan del Sur, although growing at an amazing rate, still has a small town feel. Locals will be happy to share with you their favorite restaurants or best surf spot. The ex-pat community welcomes you with open arms and can’t wait to tell you about their life in this small village.

The people are warm and friendly, the countryside is beautiful and diverse and prices are extremely affordable. Nicaragua, above all, has been determined the safest country in Central America.
Located north of Costa Rica and south of Honduras, Nicaragua is the largest country in Central America. Although is has been plagued by misfortune, the country is slowly coming into its own. Real estate development along the southern Pacific coast is in high gear and we are seeing more and more projects for the coming year.
