Nekupe

Spending time at Nekupe in Nicaragua was truly life-changing. I stepped out of my comfort zone and from the moment I arrived, I felt wrapped in the peaceful beauty of the landscape — endless green hills, the sounds of nature all around (especially the howler monkeys), and a sense of calm I hadn’t realized how much I needed. Every detail of the retreat was thoughtful and intentional, making it the perfect environment to focus on self-care and reconnect with myself. I was gifted a gratitude journal which was a nice way to start and end the day in self-reflection. Being surrounded by such breathtaking nature was deeply therapeutic; it allowed me to slow down, breathe, and truly be present. Whether it was through quiet moments of reflection, outdoor adventures, or simply soaking in the beauty around me, I left feeling lighter, more grounded, and incredibly grateful. This experience reminded me how important it is to pause and nourish not just the body, but the soul. I’m a workaholic so it was a much needed disconnect. I can’t thank the Nekupe creators and staff enough for creating such a special, healing space. I’ll definitely be back to see how the tree I planted has aged over the years - such a truly magical experience! Nekupe I love you ❤️

Nekupe truly is magical. It is a rare find that if you have the opportunity to visit, you are one of the lucky ones ✨ I am so grateful to have met Isa and been invited to her Anami retreat at Nekupe. She is a genuine, loving, beautiful soul. She and the staff go above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable and experience exactly what you came to Nekupe for. I am awaiting the day I get to return to the magic jungles of Nicaragua ✨✨🤍

The Anami retreat at Nekupe is an immersive experience that nurtures body, mind, and spirit, all set against a backdrop of stunning natural beauty. The culinary experience was a highlight, with each meal being a delicious celebration of local flavors and fresh ingredients. In every aspect, from the luxurious amenities to the warm, welcoming atmosphere, we felt pampered and cared for. It was a truly rejuvenating escape that left us feeling refreshed and inspired. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Isa really went above and beyond to make ANAMI Retreat an unforgettable experience. Everything was so thoughtfully personalized for each guest, and you could tell she had put so much care into every detail before we even arrived. The property itself is breathtaking—pictures really don’t do it justice. There’s this magic to the land because it’s so untouched and nestled right in the middle of the jungle. It’s peaceful, serene, and honestly, you just feel connected to something bigger when you’re there. There were so many activities to choose from, that were all incredible and personalized. One of the highlights was the exfoliating class where we used natural ingredients like coffee (from the land) and sugar. It was a really cool experience, and the instructor was incredibly knowledgeable. But what really stood out to me was the staff. Every single person was so kind and truly poured their heart into making sure everything was perfect. It was clear they genuinely cared about creating a meaningful experience for all of us. Overall, it was just such a peaceful and rejuvenating experience. Isa thought of everything, and I felt so taken care of from start to finish. If you ever get the chance to go, I can’t recommend it enough. There’s really nothing like it.

Tucked into the heart of the jungle, Nekupe is a sanctuary of natural beauty and world-class sophistication. The architecture and interiors seamlessly blend with the lush surroundings, and every detail reflects a deep respect for both nature and guest comfort. From the moment I arrived, I was enveloped in an atmosphere both refined and warmly inviting—like stepping into a home designed with intention, not pretension. What truly made my Nekupe experience so memorable, however, was the service. From the moment I was greeted (with a genuine smile and refreshing local beverage in hand) at the front door of the main house, the extent to which the staff takes immense pride in their setting was immediately evident. Whether arranging a private jungle trek, crafting a bespoke dining experience under the stars, or simply remembering how you take your morning coffee, the staff seemed to both always present yet invisible. Waking up to the sounds of the jungle, dining on world-class cuisine fused with local flavors, and unwinding in our private pool perched over the forest canopy make this rare gem a place where luxury and nature exist in perfect harmony.

From the moment I set foot on Nekupe, nestled in Nicaragua's forests, I was transported into a place where the spiritual essence of nature and human ingenuity converge in perfect harmony. This enchanting retreat, surrounded by the majestic views of a nearby volcano, serves not just as a sanctuary but as a portal to a deeper connection with the earth. The property itself is a masterpiece of design, inspired by the principles of Feng Shui. Each space within Nekupe has been meticulously curated with a deep connection to natural elements and textures, creating an environment that resonates deeply with the soul. The architecture invites the outside in, allowing every gentle breeze to enhance the profound sense of tranquility. Every morning at Nekupe, the forest becomes alive setting the stage for the perfect exploration. Accompanied by a knowledgeable local ranger, my early horseback rides through the dense foliage became spiritual journeys of their own. Learning about flora and fauna and experiencing its beauty first hand. The spiritual journey continued with yoga or Pilates sessions held in a handcrafted setting within the forest, where the only sounds were the rustling of leaves. These practices were profound meditations that melded mind, body, and spirit, amplified by the surrounding natural elements. Dining at Nekupe were a feast for the senses. At the clubhouse, every meal crafted by the chef was a celebration of organic bounty, presented with an artistry that mirrored the beauty of the setting itself. Each bite was a reminder of the earth’s generosity, enhanced by the serene backdrop of the pool and the expansive landscape beyond. The afternoons were a delicate blend of adventure and peace. Whether it was hiking through the rugged trails, engaging in reflective solitude with a book, or participating in a spa class where the natural world became a source of healing—each activity was designed to deepen the connection to self and surroundings. The highlight was a forest bathtub experience, enveloped in flower petals, which seemed almost a sacred ritual, washing away the trivialities of everyday life. Nekupe is more than just a retreat; it is a transformative journey that nourishes the soul and awakens the senses. The serenity and beauty of this place are not merely observed but deeply felt, resonating within the heart long after departure. In this haven of peace, every moment is a step closer to spiritual enlightenment, making Nekupe not just a destination but a profound elevation of the human experience.
