Day One
3:00 pm: Arrive and Take a Dip in Your Private Pool
The best way to begin your trip to Mukul is a post check-in dip at your private villa or bohio. Unpacking from your journey, it’s time for renewal in your own private pool. This refreshing wash will renew you and serve as the perfect beginning to your time in Nicaragua.
4:30 pm: Enjoy a Beach Walk
When you’re perfectly relaxed, head down to the beach for a pre-sunset walk. Enjoy the splendor that is Playa Manzanillo and relax as the waves lap against the coast.
5:30pm: Sundowners and Sunset at the Palapa Lounge
After a short jaunt, join the team at Mukul’s Palapa Lounge for an apertivo of a local cocktail to enjoy before your dinner.
7:00pm: Seafood Dinner
Toast to your first day at Mukul when you dine at La Terraza. Enjoy feasting on the catch of the day, complete with fresh, seasonal vegetables and local oysters.
Day Two
8:30 am: Rooster Breakfast and Morning Yoga
Rise early to enjoy early-morning coffee and cookies delivered to your room before visiting Mukul’s treetop yoga deck, where you can enjoy an ample amount of asanas before beginning your day.
11:30 am: Surf Class with TropicSurf
After your well-stretched from morning yoga, venture to the beach for some aquatic fun. Join the experts at TropicSurf, Mukul’s luxury surf outfitter. During a private lesson, the surf pros will have you surfing the Emerald Coast waves in no time.
1:00 pm: Private Picnics & Playa Guacalito
After you’ve worked up a sweat, revel in a private picnic on the secluded, ultra-private shores of Playa Guacalito. Pass the afternoon swimming, lounging, and enjoying the sun. You can even order a cocktail or local juice to your chair!
5:00 pm: Rum Tasting
When the clock strikes 5, it’s time to convene at the Flor de Caña Rum Room, home to an impressive collection of Nicaragua’s finest spirit. Here, enjoy rum tastings with your friends, the perfect pre-dinner cocktail to learn about the country’s storied past and how the Pellas family – the owners of Mukul – play an integral part in its history.

Day Three
9:00 am: Take a (Morning) Hike
After fueling up on a hearty Nicaraguan breakfast, begin your day with an energizing guided hike. Weave through an area where tropical birds and monkeys sing the sounds of the jungle canopy, and learn from Mukul’s experts, who will reveal why the resort is set in such a unique wildlife location.
11:00 am: Spend the Afternoon at Spa Mukul
After a weekend of stretching your muscles in yoga and enjoying the best of Nicaragua’s surfing and hiking, venture to Spa Mukul for one of six signature experiences.
