It's the ideal retreat for the dreamers, creatives, photographers, writers, designers or small groups looking for a place to reflect, reconnect, and recharge, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Wake up to tropical birds singing by your door or watch a herd of monkeys (spider, howler, or white-faced Capuchin) swinging by the nearby trees while sipping freshly brewed locally grown Nicaraguan Coffee. Villa Paraiso del Sur is made up of one main house, El Rancho, plus two separate cabin rooms. Each space offers real indoor-outdoor feel, with warm hardwood tones, terraces, a pool, open-plan living spaces, panoramic windows and doors that make the most of the sweeping ocean and mountains views. One of the biggest bonus of being located at a high elevation is that the temperature is a few degrees cooler than at sea level and we get a very nice breeze. All rooms have screens doors to keep the bugs out and that let the breeze off the Pacific Ocean in. El Rancho (main house) Made out of locally harvested wood, incorporates all that is unique and rustic about Nicaragua, combined with a light contemporary twist that harmonize with nature and each other. Upstairs, there are two bedrooms that share one bathroom. The corner room facing the ocean benefits from the natural daylight and airflow. Timber floors throughout, floor to ceiling sliding doors, and a king size bed with hotel quality sheets to make sure you have a comfortable nights sleep. Experience 180 degrees of panoramic view from your bed, read a book while laying in a hammock in the wrap around balcony or you can simply relax and watch the sun go down. This space makes you feel like you are in your own luxurious treehouse. The second bedroom has a bunk bed. At the bottom there is a full size bed and at the top there is a twin size bed. These two bedroom share a bathroom which is equipped with hot water and plenty of counter space. Downstairs An open concept living area including kitchen / dining and a fourth fully equipped bathroom, leads out to a split-level open air living area. Spacious and airy, El Rancho offers the ideal area for entertaining; it's what brings guests together and overlooks the beautiful gardens, terraces, and dipping pool. Being at the hilltop grants you with expansive views of the Pacific Ocean, mountains, and San Juan del Sur. Epic sunsets will surely take your breath away. The kitchen comes equipped with the basics you'll need to make delicious meals and enjoy dining al fresco, Refrigerator, Microwave, Kettle, Coffee maker, Gas Stove, Blender and Dining Set for nine. The dining table sits 8 and you can accommodate three more people at the breakfast bar. Enjoy freshly brewed Nicaraguan coffee with fresh fruits in the morning sourced from the local market. For dinner, you can purchase freshly caught fish, meats, and vegetables in town and make it all in the comfort of your own kitchen, brick oven or wood grill. The cabin rooms: Calala The first cabin and the closest to El Rancho, is secluded and offers real indoor-outdoor feel, with warm hardwood tones, soft lighting, plenty of storage space so you can feel right at home. Floor to ceiling sliding doors enhance the panoramic view from the comfort of your own king size bed. The ensuite bathroom with outdoor shower is perfect for refreshing in the late afternoon. Pitaya This cabin is located further away from El Rancho and closer to the jungle. The giant window facing the jungle allows you to bring the surroundings in. Keep an eye toward the trees early in the morning or late in the afternoon, as regularly you can see herds of monkeys moving around. This cabin is your private retreat with ensuite bathroom and outdoor shower. The large balcony in the front is a great place to relax, practice some yoga, or stargaze at night. Courtyard The pool and terraces are the spots to relax and cool off, enjoy dining al fresco, reclining, bathing and even sleeping after a day at the beach, or from one of the many other excursions Nicaragua has to offer. Entirely surrounded by jungle, this is as private as it gets with plenty of outdoor seating, dining and lounging space. Earthy and casual, Villa Paraiso del Sur, nonetheless provides you with a nature lover’s retreat located in one the best spots in Nicaragua.

The pool was enjoyed by everyone, the night sky is spectacular and Joel and his family made it feel like home. We had a vehicle, so the 15 minute drive to and from SJDS was not a problem for us and we were closer to three incredible beaches from the villa than if we were in town. ##### Ashley F.

The BBQ pit area is kinda run down, over grown, dim and terrifying to the ladies after dark. Shower heads in house are plugged, so very little excruciating hot water dribbles out. Hedges and flower beds need some love they are overgrown, outdoor shower doesn't work, kitchen utensils are tired, toaster only works 1/2, coffee pot takes an hr to make coffee, knives were so dull they wouldn't cut fruit, I bought a stone and sharpened them. The pool is excellent, the house is amazing, the cabins are amazing, it really just needs a few days love and touch up, some paint, pressure washer, 100 in new solar lights, and 75 in kitchen equipment, and this place is amazing. We really enjoyed the monkeys, and peace and quiet. The views of the sunset are as good as I've ever seen. I will book this place again if available. The housekeeping family that lives next door are so kind, helpful and patient with my zero Spanish. 9/10 as far as I'm concerned. ##### PRO-SHINE J.

Other than that if you are looking for a quiet peaceful beautiful nature place this is it. There is nature all around even some bunnies came to enjoy breakfast with us. ##### Carlos R. Stayed 2 nights in May 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lauren B. 20 Jan 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Came for the views, stayed for Joel. This villa is absolutely stunning! The views from the main house and cabanas are breathtaking but the indoor-outdoor living definitely takes some getting used to if you’re accustomed to western living. Sunsets from the pool was one of the prettiest sights I’ve seen. This villa showcases some of the best landscapes in Nicaragua. We saw several full rainbows too :) The glass doors and screen doors do an OK job sealing out the elements but not all insects or scorpions... However, this is part of living in the jungle and we did come in the windy season. Now for the absolute best part of our stay - the property manager JOEL! He was kind, attentive, generous, and genuinely tried to ensure we had the best stay possible. I would definitely recommend staying here & making friends with Joel for the best experience possible. The wifi is a bit spotty at times but overall it was fine for zoom calls, which was quite impressive considering how remote this villa is. Joel’s family did laundry for us half-way through our stay which was great too. If you’re staying here I would recommend a car if you can as taxi-ing gets quite expensive to & from SDJS. Overall, good value for your money 🙂 ##### Lauren B. Stayed 10 nights in Jan 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emily C., Maine 12 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful! Villa Paraiso del Sur is enchanting. The views are unbelievable, looking out over the Pacific and much of SJDS. The property is beautifully designed, simple and tasteful with local materials and lovely touches. It is perfect for a family or multi-family group, as the casitas permit flexibility and privacy while the gorgeous indoor/outdoor dining and living space are perfect for group meals. Juan and Carolina were gracious in all of our communications (which included more than one instance where Covid limitations required us to postpone our booking), while Joel, the property's caretaker, is attentive, responsive, and knows the property and the area like the back of his hand. Reliable, high-speed wifi and a backup generator that came in handy during the one power outage we experienced. As with many properties on this side of town, you absolutely need a 4x4 vehicle, and the hosts will kindly remind you of that before you arrive. Also, keep in mind that Villa Paraiso del Sur is a place that celebrates indoor/outdoor living. If you want the ability to completely seal out the elements and control the temperature and humidity, you are probably looking for a different type of stay. When on the last day of our stay our hosts learned that a tropical storm (the outer edge of Hurricane Julia) made conditions dicey for travel out of SJDS, they immediately reached out and offered flexibility for our family to extend our stay as needed, at no additional charge. Classy and caring throughout. We can't wait to return! Gracias, Juan and Carolina!! ##### Emily C.
