Mukul Luxury Resort & Spa

The luxurious Mukul Resort has the white sandy beaches of the Nicaraguan coastline in its foreground, whilst the lush and vibrant landscape of the ’emerald green’ rainforest lay behind it. But there is a conundrum. With the sea such a vibrant blue, why is this immaculate stretch of Nicaraguan shoreline celebrated as the Emerald Coast?

Well, the greens are certainly emerald, you think to yourself as you pause at the eighteen hole on the Guacalito Golf Course, to watch the sea rolling onto the white beach. And there is a profusion of emerald greens in the lush trees and bushes of the surrounding rainforest. Greens punctuated by vibrant flashes of electric colour as exotically-dressed birds, like toucans, dart to and fro.

And the countryside stretches out like an emerald carpet beneath your feet, as you soar on your helicopter excursion to the foot of the San Cristóbal Volcano. At the Mukul Resort you will discover why it’s called the Emerald Coast.
