Magnific Rock - Surf Resort & Yoga Retreat Nicaragua

I had the pleasure of staying at MagRock over the holidays as a solo traveler. Waking up to the waves crashing on the beach and the views from the balcony was a dream come true! All of the staff at MagRock is welcoming, kind and responsive. Being able to walk one minute to yoga at the incredible MagRock studio every morning is fantastic. Maria greeted me as my first instructor and immediately made me feel at home. Her aerial and restorative classes were blissful. I also had the opportunity to book one of Maria's Thai massages in the studio and it, too, was fantastic! She is an excellent Nica hostess and energy worker. The swimming, beach walking and opportunities for adventure around MagRock are top notch. Though I did not surf, I can attest that watching the surfers is great fun even when the swell isn't much. Highly recommend and will visit again!

I had the opportunity to stay at Magnific Rock and had a wonderful, memorable experience. Everything—from the staff and the facilities to the hotel room—was exceptional. The manager went the extra mile, brilliantly helping me organize a perfectly romantic proposal right before sunset. Martín and his team are incredibly friendly people with a true gift for service and hospitality. They embraced this very special moment in our lives as if it were their own, paying attention to every detail and helping turn this milestone into something truly unforgettable. We are definitely coming back!

I did the 5 day all inclusive surf package and I cannot recommend it enough! All the staff at Magnific Rock and the surf instructors were so welcoming, caring, and knowledgeable. I am a new surfer, but I had a lot of fun. The ocean views from the room and the restaurant were unbeatable. The room was basic, but it was all I needed. I recommend staying at Magnific Rock and doing the surf package! I will definitely be back.

I cant say enough good things about Mag Rock. Above everything are the people. Everyone is kind thoughtful and obsessed with service. The food is a highlight all the meals are incredible and the location is the absolute best. They helped our family with everything we needed including babysitting. Ask them anything and they will help you out. They went beyond being a hotel. They became friends. Magical moments!!

Just went to the most amazing restorative aerial yoga class taught by Maria. Feeing incredibly zen. Such a beautiful location overlooking the sunset- everything was perfection. She’s such a great teacher, I wish I could put her in my pocket and bring her home with me! Very intentional about the practice. It was so healing! Can’t wait to come back!

This place is truly amazing and healing! I signed up for the yoga retreat as a Leap of faith, not knowing what I was going to get. It turned out to be one of the best paces I ever been, it was so healing, the location is gorgeous on the top of a cliff, all staff goes out of their way to make you feel welcomed and the restaurant is awesome with great service. But my stay was surely outstanding thanks to Maria, the yoga instructor. She is not only very knowledgeable about yoga, but also truly a good, kind and grounded person. I am very thankful for finding this place and will forever be on my mind. I hope to come back!

Must stay while in Popoyo. Incredible views, rooms and restaurant. Quick walk down to the beach and board rentals for surfing. The nachos at the restaurant were my favourite! Below the restaurant there is a really nice lounging area and pool if you want a lazy day. Can’t wait to come back!

I have a yoga and surf package at this location. Maria is an amazing instructor who teaches aerial yoga, Restorative yoga, And there are many other classes available. The studio sits on the third floor, looking out on a panoramic view of the ocean. In the last 20 years of my Yoga experience, I have never experienced a more beautiful studio than this one. I thought the surfing would be my most favorite thing about this vacation, And I have fallen in love with the studio. I have found Nicaragua to be a safe place to come to, The staff here are amazing. You have to find out for yourself.
