Yoga & Wellness on Jicaro Island Resort in Lake Nicaragua
Jicaro is the ideal location for people who want to reconnect with themselves and leave their hectic lives behind for a few days.
Besides Yoga sessions and a variety of massage and wellness treatments, a visitor to the island will be enticed by the fresh and healthy local cuisine, the warmth of the local staff and the authenticity of the overall experience.
Our Yoga deck looks out over the lake and towards the Mombacho volcano; it is a spot that inspires serenity and tranquility. Yoga classes are available for guests on a daily basis.
The wellness center is located right on the lake and offers two spectacular open air treatment rooms with private showers. Massages range from Swedish to Shiatsu to Hot Stone treatments and are available on a daily basis for our guests.
Upcoming Yoga Retreats at Jicaro
Retreats are organized by Adrienne Ward, owner of BigWorldSmallPlanet. An added specialty of these retreats is that they combine exceptional yoga experiences with opportunities to also learn about the destination and its culture.
