Rancho Santana is situated between the Pacific Ocean and Lake Nicaragua on one of the Pacific only isthmuses. Bordered on both sides by water, Rancho Santana enjoys the distinction of nearly constant off shore breezes, 30 days or more each year. This off-shore wind combined with a perfectly angled coastline creates world-class surf conditions and affords guests three surf breaks on site and a dozen breaks in the area.
Rancho Santana’s terrain is as diverse as the guests who come to hike our many trails. Traverse jungle and tropical dry forest on the Los Perros loops; top off a walk to Playa Escondida with a visit to the turtle sanctuary and a splash in the tide pools; and summit a sand dune at Playa Duna.
Rancho Santana has three swimming pools and three clubhouses located throughout the property. There are four dining venues: La Finca and El Mar, La Boquita, El Cafe and La Taqueria.

We had the most amazing time. So many things to do if you want activity and beautiful scenery for rest. Top moments were dinners with our server Anielka and Thai chi and yoga with Age

We had the most wonderful week at Rancho Santana. The property is beautiful, the staff is incredibly supportive and resourceful, and the experiences were fantastic. We loved the beaches, spa, kids club, horse back riding, and surf. We look forward to returning!

This was an experience we will never forget. The guides were beyond amazing and wonderful with our kids. Especially Januar who was so knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. The ride at sunset over the beach was the perfect ending to the evening. This was a 10 out of 10 and we would highly recommend to anybody who is in the area. We even saw a family of howler monkeys.
