Host Your Own Retreat in Nicaragua: Corporate Retreats, Team Building and Digital Nomad Retreats
Bring your group to Esc – Digital Nomad Village on the Pacific coast. A private conference space for up to 15, private rooms for up to 15 people, around 20 with shared rooms, and our hotel, restaurant, surf and yoga partners next door. You bring the programme, we handle the rest.
Who hosts here
A retreat venue in Nicaragua for teams, coaches and communities
Esc was built for people who work from anywhere, which makes it an easy place to run a retreat: fibre internet with a backup generator, private call rooms, a quiet workspace, meals cooked on site and the beach a free shuttle ride away.
- Corporate retreats and team building. Bring a team of up to 20 for a working week, a strategy offsite or a team-building retreat with surf, yoga and the beach built in.
- Digital nomad and remote-work retreats. Run your own cohort, mastermind or community week in a village designed for remote workers.
- Coaching, skills and wellness retreats. Yoga, creative and personal-development retreats, with Magnific Rock’s yoga studio and deck next door, where retreats like Circus with Purpose already run every year.

Where you’ll be
Popoyo, on Nicaragua’s Emerald Coast
Esc – Digital Nomad Village sits on Astillero Road, 1.5 km west of Puente Nahualapa, in Guasacate, Popoyo. Green hills, a small surf town and a slow pace once the sessions end. Nicaragua runs on Central Standard Time all year, so US-based teams stay within a few hours of home.
Flights land in Managua. We pick your group up from the airport and bring you to the coast.
Frequently asked questions
How many people can Esc host?
The Esc centre takes groups of up to 15 for a private conference or workshop. The village has up to 15 private rooms, or around 20 people when part of the group shares twin rooms. For bigger groups we can add rooms at La Jolla de Guasacate and Magnific Rock, by arrangement.
What does it cost?
Every retreat is priced on the group size, the length of stay, the rooms you choose and the activities you add. Send us those details and reception will come back with a quote.
Can we work during the retreat?
Yes. The centre runs on fibre with a backup generator and has private call rooms, so a team can keep normal hours around the programme.
Do you organise the activities?
Yes. Tell us what you want, from surf lessons and yoga to workshops, dinners and beach days, and we arrange it across our campuses.
