  Description

  SEPTEMBER 2025 UPDATE:
  Hello everyone, we are Francesca & Davide, currently managing the lodge.
  We first arrived here as volunteers and, after falling in love with the place, we’ve been asked to help with management until one of the owners can come back on-site.
  Besides the daily tasks, we are focusing on developing marketing and communication strategies, especially through social media and partnerships with retreat organizers.
  The lodge is running smoothly thanks to the remote support of the four owners and the on-site help of two handymen and a housekeeper.
  We’re mostly looking for creative minds who can support us with brainstorming and content creation or small aesthetic projects to make the lodge more beautiful (gardening, woodworking, etc.).
  
  ---------------------------
  
  Hi! We are the owners of a lodge/farm/finca in the middle of the Nicaraguan jungle that's also close to the beach - about 20 20-minute drive south of San Juan Del Sur. I'm the main owner on-site at the moment, and I'm American, but have lived in East Africa and Asia while visiting over 50 countries already. I'm a surfer and love living in Nicaragua while getting my place up to speed in terms of making it look nice and welcoming for others. We are surrounded by beautiful trees and plants, we have our own small permaculture garden, we have a nice little community, and there are incredible beaches nearby.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  If you are looking to practice your Spanish and/or learn more about Nicaraguan culture and life, this is your opportunity! We have two wonderful caretakers/landscapers/guards that work with us and are happy to also chat and welcome you to the country. We also live mins away from a couple beaches that uncrowded and have great surf.

  Help

  While looking after the lodge, we would love to find someone who has some marketing/advertisement/communication experience! We are just finishing up the final upgrades to the main building of the lodge, so it is looking more beautiful than ever with more amazing usable space!! So it's time we focus on how we best manage to advertise and get guests to book with us!
  
  Right now, our biggest need is content creation: we’re looking for someone who not only enjoys making photos and videos but also has the tools (camera, smartphone, GoPro, etc.) and the motivation to create engaging material for our social media. If you can combine this with helping us shape a marketing strategy while looking after the lodge, you might be the one!!

  Accommodation

  You will have a private room slightly detached from the main lodge (near the handymen’s “bodega”). The room is simple but functional and surrounded by nature. The shared bathroom is just a few meters away, inside the main lodge building.
  
  We have a shared kitchen where you can cook your meals.

  What else ...

  With any of your time off, you can go surf, hike, horseback ride, relax/read/stretch/practice yoga/workout in the common areas upstairs with an incredible view, practice your Spanish, make little projects, the world is your oyster! You will need a moto or vehicle to get around outside of the lodge. We can arrange for rentals or you can hitch a ride with one of us every so often when we go into town.
