  Beschreibung

  We’re developing a unique space where nature, hospitality, and community come together. Our project includes a surf camp, a beachfront clubhouse, a small farm, and over 3.5 km of untouched coastline surrounded by mangroves and wildlife.
  
  Our team of 11 full-time staff is working to create a sustainable, nature-focused destination — and we’ll soon be expanding with a sea turtle sanctuary to help protect local nesting grounds.
  
  Workawayers help with daily operations, gardening, guest services, basic maintenance, beach cleanups, and conservation activities surf and yoga instruction, etc.. If you love ocean life, quiet natural spaces, and being part of a project that’s growing every day, you’ll fit right in.

  Learn about sustainable living and eco-friendly practices on our farm and gardens.
  
  Participate in surf, yoga, kayaking, and hiking with locals and guests.
  
  Gain hands-on experience in wildlife conservation, including our upcoming sea turtle sanctuary.
  
  Share skills and knowledge with the community, from languages to arts, crafts, or teaching.
  
  Celebrate Nicaraguan food, music, and traditions during local events and seasonal activities.
  
  This is a chance to exchange ideas, learn new skills, and build friendships while contributing meaningfully to a project that values nature, community, and sustainability.

  Unterkunft

  Bunk beds in our staff house. Literally 40 steps away from the beach.
  
  We have a staff house. The house counts with 4 bedrooms 2 bedrooms are always in use because they are used by our construction team. (The construction team has been with us for over 9 years).
  
  We pay the Foreman to purchase food for the whole team and each staff memeber takes a turn to cook one day all 3 meals. When the builders leave, they usually leave on saturday after lunch and return on mondays around lunch. When this happens Workawayers will have to take their turns in cooking unless Said has planned a cook-or something similar.

  Other relevant information for Workawayers:
  
  The location is remote and off the beaten path, which means you’ll experience peace, quiet, and nature — but it also means there are limited shops, restaurants, and public transport nearby. Volunteers should be prepared for a simple, self-sufficient lifestyle and bring any personal items they may need.
  
  Time off and local activities:
  
  Relax on our pristine beaches or take a swim in the ocean.
  
  Explore the surrounding mangroves and river systems by kayak or on foot.
  
  Go surfing at nearby breaks (all skill levels welcome).
  
  Take part in hiking adventures to explore local wildlife, rocky points, or tidal pools.
  
  Participate in turtle conservation programs during nesting and hatching season.
  
  Discover small local towns or markets if you have your own transport.
  
  Living style & house rules:
  
  Life here is community-oriented, relaxed, and respectful of nature.
  
  Volunteers share responsibilities like cooking, cleaning, and maintaining the property.
  
  We live sustainably — waste reduction, composting, and water conservation are part of daily life.
  
  Quiet hours are observed in the evenings to respect guests and wildlife.
  
  Pet-friendly and casual dress code, but appropriate swimwear and footwear are recommended for activities.
  
  Transport tips:
  
  Most volunteers bring their own transport (bike or vehicle) if they want to explore beyond.
  
  Local buses or taxis are available but infrequent due to our remote location.
  
  Walking and biking are the best ways to explore the immediate area.
  
  This is a great opportunity to disconnect from the busy world, enjoy nature, and make a meaningful contribution to a growing eco-community while gaining hands-on experience in hospitality, conservation, and sustainable living.

  Kann Digital Nomads unterbringen

  Internet: Wi-Fi is available at the main clubhouse, but speeds can be slow or intermittent depending on weather and the number of users. We recommend being prepared for occasional downtime. Workspace: There is a common area at the clubhouse suitable for laptops, but there are no private offices. Bringing noise-canceling headphones and a power bank is helpful. Power & Outlets: Electricity is available, but as a small eco-community, occasional outages may occur. Charging stations are limited, so plan accordingly. Flexibility: Volunteers who need to work remotely should coordinate hours with project tasks. Some mornings or afternoons may require participation in hands-on activities like gardening, maintenance, or turtle conservation. Work can usually be scheduled around these responsibilities. Time for exploring: When not helping with community projects, there’s plenty of opportunity to surf, kayak, hike, or enjoy quiet time on the beach. Tip: Digital nomads who thrive here are those comfortable balancing work and outdoor eco-adventure, and who don’t mind occasional slow internet or unplugged time while contributing to meaningful projects.
