THE SURF

WARM WATER / SMALL BEGINNER WAVES / LONG RIDES / UNCROWDED

Beginner’s Bay is one of the best places to learn to surf in Nicaragua, with soft, rolling waves, sandy entry - the perfect environment to build confidence in the water.

The waves are smaller and more manageable, allowing you to focus on technique, timing, and flow without feeling overwhelmed. Whether it’s your first time on a board or you’re looking to improve, progression here feels natural and enjoyable.

With warm water year-round and long, gentle rides, every session is designed to feel safe, fun, and rewarding - helping you connect with the ocean and truly enjoy the experience of surfing.

THE rooms

Our rooms are designed to be a calm, comfortable retreat after a day in the ocean or exploring Popoyo. Thoughtfully styled with natural textures and warm tones, each space feels grounded and comfortable.

Private terraces invite in natural light and ocean breezes, creating a seamless connection between indoors and outdoors. Whether you’re waking up to the sound of the waves or winding down after sunset, the atmosphere is peaceful and restorative.

All rooms are equipped with air conditioning, hot water rain showers, and high-quality, comfortable beds to ensure a restful night’s sleep. We offer flexible configurations with king, queen, or single beds, making them ideal for solo travellers, couples, or shared retreat stays.

Hide & Seek Resort is designed for both relaxation and activity, with everything you need to unwind, recharge, and feel your best.

Enjoy our pool as a refreshing escape between surf sessions, or spend slow afternoons soaking up the sun. Our farm-to-table restaurant serves fresh, nourishing meals using locally sourced ingredients and produce from our garden.

For recovery and wellness, we offer a sauna, ice bath, spa treatments, and a fully yoga and pilates studio to support your training and movement.

With yoga, pilates, surf coaching, and nearby nature experiences, every day can be as active or as relaxed as you choose.

Don’t just take our word for it, see what past guests have to say about their experience with our surf intro package.

  • Our group of 12 ladies had an absolutely perfect stay at Hide and Seek; the resort is a true gem that offers everything you could possibly need in one beautiful location. From the rejuvenating yoga and massages to the incredible food and refreshing pool, every amenity exceeded our expectations. The staff members were exceptionally warm and accommodating, handling our large group with grace and professionalism throughout our visit. While the resort is a peaceful paradise, we’d recommend sticking to the on-site experience to fully enjoy the high-quality service and facilities they provide. We truly loved our time here and can’t wait to return to this very special place!

  • Absolutely Fantastic! Everything is amazing. The rooms, the food, the people, the location. Daniel and his team have created an Oasis. We had Surf lessons every day with Elyin and is was brilliant. He was so patient and took us to some great spots. The food in the restaurant is incredible. The Spicy Marg is worth the trip alone! We will definitely be back. I cannot recommend "Hide & Seek" highly enough.

    — Ali B

  • This place is amazing, and I have so many wonderful memories here. I can’t wait to return! The team at Hide and Seek did an extraordinary job with everything—food, drinks, rooms, pool, cold plunges, massages, sauna, yoga—you name it, and it was fantastic. A special shout-out goes to the staff, the surf guide, and the owners of Hide and Seek, who did everything possible to ensure an unforgettable experience for everyone. One last thing: I highly recommend the horseback riding at sunset. It was so much fun.

  • My family spent 6 nights in this beautiful resort. We loved our trip. The rooms were clean and very comfortable. We did the surf and yoga packages and the yoga teachers and the surf instructor were great. All of our random needs and questions were accommodated. The entire staff went overboard to make sure we were happy and having a great time. You get to know other travelers while you are there, it feels very retreat-like with beautiful amenities. We ate all our meals on site in the Oasis restaurant and got to know the staff well, everyone was so attentive and friendly. The food was delicious. If you love to surf and want to add in some relaxation in a beautiful setting, this place is perfect for you! Highly recommend!

    — Angie M

  • I could write paragraphs about why this is the perfect place for a perfect vacation, but I'll keep it simple and describe it as a hidden gem – indeed, the resort lives up to its name! Whether it’s for surfing, having fun, socializing, or relaxing, Hide and Seek offers everything and more in a laid-back and welcoming space. I’ve barely returned, and I'm already thinking about my next visit!

    — Carole B

  • My wife and I came for the surf package and we had a fantastic time. The resort space is very nicely designed and a great place to relax when you are not surfing or otherwise out. Our surf guide Elyin was perfect as knows the local spots well and was able to give my wife (beginner) instruction while helping me out (intermediate) with spot information. Restaurant was great and could accommodate vegetarian options. Would highly recommend!

ALL YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED.

  • Not at all. Beginner’s Bay is one of the best places to learn, with small, soft waves and sandy entry. Our coaches work with complete beginners as well as intermediate surfers looking to improve.
