About this villa rental
Welcome to Villa Laguna, the place to enjoy all the natural beauty of the amazing Laguna de Apoyo. We offer tranquility, comfortable rooms, incredible views and direct access to the lagoon in a quiet area with a shallow beach. Villa Laguna is ideal for families or groups that look for privacy and comfort in a unique secluded and natural setting. No neighbors, so you can be as quiet or loud as you wish.
The villa boasts 7 rooms with private bathrooms and can comfortably sleep up to 20 people (but we do have extra beds for larger groups if needed). There are two expansive suites equipped with 2 queen beds and a single bed with french doors that lead to private balconies where guests can relax and admire the views of the laguna and bird watch. The suites can accommodate up to 5 people each. The remaining 5 rooms are all doubles (with twin beds that can be pushed to form a king) with two of them facing directly the Laguna and the other 3 with views of the forest. All rooms are equipped with ceiling and floor fans and have their own private modern American standardized washrooms. All linens and towels are provided. We offer laundry service at an additional cost.
Amenities at the villa include a spacious fully equipped kitchen, dining and living area located around an outdoor patio. An open bar/rancho overlooking the lagoon, a waterfront covered multipurpose deck that can be used for exercise, yoga, workshops etc... and ample well kept gardens provide you with all the space you need for your stay. Apart from enjoying the lagoon and its magical waters, there are also a few hiking options for all levels.
OTHER THINGS TO NOTE
- Your rental includes the services of a cleaning lady each day and a guard each night. Some days of the week you might also see our gardener around. We offer the services of our talented chef for an additional fee, but you need to book this in advance to make sure we can schedule her shifts accordingly.
- Massage services can be arranged but only if you let us know in advance.
- Remember we are located remotely and there are no shops nearby. Make sure you bring everything you need if you do not wish to go far to buy supplies. We sell alcoholic drinks here for your convenience.
- We also have a local driver that can run errands for you during the day for a very reasonable price if you need him to.
- There are 8 cats and 4 dogs in the property. The dogs are kept in our area during your stay, but the cats roam around freely (they are all friendly). If you do not like (or are allergic to) pets, this might not be your ideal place.
- We are located in a natural reserve and chances are you will encounter a bug at some point, just so you know what to expect :)

Villa Laguna is remarkable: a palatial resort overlooking one of the most beautiful bodies of water in the world. We wanted to return to Laguna de Apoyo before flying back to Canada from Nicaragua, and booked Villa Laguna on a bit of a whim. We were soooooooo thrilled that we did. We walked through the front foyer and couldn't believe the stunning grounds and the private nature of the place along the beach. We also couldn't believe it was all there for us! Just two couples in this magical place. Now I'm wishing I had booked multiple days. Had I had more time, I would have taken advantage of the massages conducted in the yoga studio overlooking the water and the hired chef. We loved having access to the paddle boards. And although we were initially trepidatious about leaving the patio doors open for cool air during our sleep, the mosquito net was perfect and led to an even more unique and memorable experience. Lastly, Oscar--who was our host--is a gem of a person. We had to leave to make our flight at 2:30 a.m. and he woke up to make our coffee and load our luggage into the car. We'll definitely be returning!

A special place. Miriam, the owner, is very organized and communicative…helped in preparing for our arrival (a group of 11 friends). The location is remote…and beautiful. Really beautiful. Many lovely spaces to gather and enjoy both the views and time with one another. And a beach all to ourselves at the base (the laguna was perhaps the prettiest lake I’ve ever swum in). Rooms, though basic, are clean and nice…but you won’t want to spend time in the rooms because the outside is so pretty. Staff is also very helpful and sweet…special callout to Julia, the chef. If you go, don’t bother going to a restaurant off property…it’s a hassle and the food will not be as good as what she will prepare for you. :)

Amazing beautiful propertyHosted a large group Check process is easy Full kitchen WiFi is good and strong Oscar, the caretaker, treats you like royalty. Helps with everything including taking Kayaks down to the water, brings towels. He literally anticipates your needs. He is better than most butlers I have had at all inclusive resorts. We booked a cook and she was amazing and had great delicious meals. Some of the best I had in country. We didn’t utilize but you can book massage in advance. Our group did use the yoga studio and had the most serene yoga sessions I grew up in Nicaragua and have been to the Laguna de Apoyo many times, this house has the best access to the Laguna. Beach with shallow entrance. The water is magnificent. This house exceeded my expectations in every way.

My family and I had an excellent weekend at Villa Laguna. The path to access the property is a bit difficult, but once there, we were fine except for the heat, as the property doesn't have air conditioning. The staff is wonderful, starting with Mirian, my host, who provided us with everything we needed via the website and phone, and with great kindness. Oscar and Rosa, who served us at the property with great kindness and professionalism, were also wonderful. The view of the lagoon is wonderful. In short, I recommend this place to anyone looking to spend a few days of tranquility surrounded by nature.
