Origins Luxury Lodge

With grass-topped roofs and tree-trunk columns, the lodge blends right into its environment. El Salto Restaurant uses only ingredients sourced from its gardens or lagoons, which are turned into delicious, French-style dishes. You could also branch out and order a meal made with forestals and ancestral techniques! Right beside the oval infinity pool, the open-air Skyview Bar lives up to its name and serves an international variety of wines. Head to the spa for a holistic therapy or heavenly massage - the warm bamboo and seashell certainly have our attention.

Scattered along the hillside, the lodges all have conical roofs with a skylight (for stargazing and temperature control) and 180° views of the shamrock-green grounds, the Nicaragua Lake and surrounding volcanoes. Each lodge has a handcrafted canopy bed and minimalist furnishings, while the bathrooms are semi-outdoor with stone walls and ornate mirrors. High in the canopy, Villa Vertigo accommodates up to six guests with three rooms, a kitchen, living room and spacious terrace where you'll find a fire-heated Jacuzzi.

Tenorio is paradise for wildlife-lovers and adrenaline-seekers alike. For the latter, there is white water tubing and rafting (ending with a 12-foot drop), ziplining over the Rio Celeste and horseback rides across the Tigra River. On hiking, paddleboarding and kayaking excursions, keep your eyes peeled for iguanas, tapirs, monkeys and over 150 species of birdlife. For something a little different, learn how sugarcane is converted into a spirit, the significance of chocolate and join the chefs for a cooking class.
