From romantic getaways and remarkable weddings to eco-friendly family retreats and breathtaking adventure escapes, Morgan’s Rock Hacienda & Ecolodge is the perfect destination for your next vacation. Surrounded by natural tropical beauty, Morgan’s Rock boasts a beautiful and secluded location on the Pacific Coast of Nicaragua. The property features nearly 2,000-acres of protected reserves and 2,700-acres of land dedicated to reforestation of the rainforest, as well as the main lodge and 15 tropical bungalows.
Eco-Friendly Features
Morgan’s Rock thrives as a sustainable development that supports the local ecosystem as well as the community. The private nature reserve and extensive reforestation project protect native plants and animals, while encouraging the reproduction of endangered and nearly extinct species. The main lodge and bungalows were built with minimal impact to the earth and only damaged or unhealthy trees were removed – some cabins are actually built around the trees!
Native hardwoods, as well as rescued wood scraps, were used to build the structures and furnishings at Morgan’s Rock. Each bungalow features exquisitely handcrafted accessories made by local artisans, including king size beds, queen sofa beds, and luxurious hanging beds. Local, sustainable seafood and an assortment of fresh organic ingredients (grown and raised onsite) are served for breakfast, lunch, and dinner in the Hacienda kitchen.
