A contemporary property exuding understated luxury with an extraordinary level of service and amenities on the wild Pacific coast.

This elegant beach side Mukul is a visually stunning, top-of the range resort. It is owned by the Pellas family who pride themselves on offering a pristine natural sanctuary dedicated to relaxation and peace of mind.  The guest’s privacy is paramount and service is understated but there is always someone magically at your elbow to help you when you need them.

The retreat has a golf course and there are plans for an airstrip and shopping mall, but these will be discreet and the property is so huge it will absorb this expansion without compromising the comfort of guests.

The accommodation, built to the high standards expected by visitors from the USA, has cool white décor and locally-sourced wooden furniture with plush blond sofas: it’s all very easy on the eye. The rooms and villas are spacious and ultra-comfortable all have a veranda, private pool and an outdoor shower.  

The beach here is particularly stunning, and the hotel’s main pool one of the most attractive on the continent. However it seems that many guests prefer to spend their time on the decking of their own room or villa, or booked in for a treatment at one of the individual spas.  There is a range of activities on offer from biking through the rainforest to volcano climbs and day-trips to Granada.
