Maderas VillageEST. 2010

Wake up each day and do what you want to do. This is the essence of Maderas Village – to live well, while practicing your passions, in an environment where you can be yourself and complete your thoughts, for however long you want to stay. Whatever your source of inspiration, we encourage you to embrace who you are. Wake up early, stay up late, surf everyday or stay on the beach, detox or indulge. Moderate or not, focus on breathing or enjoy a cigar. Listen or speak. Be an esoterist or a generalist. Debate or agree. Laugh or cry. Run or walk. The only thing that really matters here is that you be. This is a place to live. Whether for a short time or a long time – whether as a guest, partner, resident or owner.

A large amount of wood was used in the construction of the Village. While more expensive and more challenging to maintain, the goal is to showcase the unique colours and vibrancy of the unique wood that Nicaragua has to offer. To minimize our impact on the forests, we used primarily (more than 90%) naturally fallen hurricane wood from the North Atlantic Coast, teak wood from local plantations (typically regenerates in 8-10 years), and small re-purposed pieces of pechote wood that would have otherwise been sold as firewood. We chose to do our roofs in palm leaves, partially because the sound of rain falling on palm is so pleasant and relaxing, but also because the leaves regenerate to full size in 3-4 months after being cut and the eucalyptus beams regrow to a harvestable size in 5-6 years. These are water proof and last on average 4-5 years.

Free from distractions and the constraints of daily schedules, meals here give us a chance to slow down and enjoy the fresh tastes and local flavours of Nicaragua. Our menu is in constant evolution, with each dish or drink designed with one goal: to allow us all to eat and drink here every day and still look forward to the next meal and enjoy ever cocktail. To ensure this level of quality, we only buy the best of what’s in season and available from local farms and markets. Occasionally, this leads to items being unavailable, but we prefer to serve only that which is the freshest and best tasting We serve Breakfast and Lunch a la carte. Breakfast is available all day, and lunch is available between 11:30am – 4:30pm. Dinner is served family-style each evening between 7.45pm – 8.00pm, depending on the size of the group and complexity of the meal.
