Ometepe Island
A relaxed lakefront hotel with nine en-suite rooms.
Ometepe is a figure-eight island formed by two volcanoes, Concepción and Maderas, in the middle of Lake Nicaragua. Its slopes are covered in farms and cloud forest, and the pace of life is set by the ferry from San Jorge and the rhythm of the lake.
The island's best stays are small and rooted in place: eco-lodges that grow their own food, lakefront cabins with views of the cone of Concepción, and boutique hotels on the quiet beach at Santo Domingo, between the two volcanoes. Moyogalpa, the main port, has a few simple hotels convenient for the ferry.
Roads are rough and distances are slow, so choose one area to base yourself. Hikes up Maderas to its crater lake and kayaking in the Istian channel are the highlights. Book a guide for volcano climbs. Rain falls from May to November; December to April is drier.
