Nicaragua's remote Little Corn Island is like an amazing and refreshing retreat from reality, with great food and a rich cultural legacy.
Paradise is never easy to get to. If it were, everyone would be there, and it would no longer be paradise. Reaching Little Corn Island in Nicaragua is a testament to this. It takes three planes and a boat from almost anywhere in the States to get there.
The shift from turbulent skies to serene waters was palpable. As we left the dock, the ride from Big Corn Island felt like a departure from reality. Seated among a handful of fellow travelers, I could feel a collective sense of anticipation for what we were about to see. Conversations faded, replaced by the rhythmic hum of the boat’s engine and the hypnotic lull of the waves. As Little Corn Island came into view, its lush greenery and pristine beaches seemed almost surreal.
Little Corn Island falls into the last category. Home to about 800 residents, this 1.5-square-mile gem sits 50 miles off Nicaragua’s eastern coast. There are no cars, no ATMs, no flashy hotels, and no tourist traps. Instead, you’ll find the tranquility of lush jungles and pristine beaches reminiscent of Costa Rica but at a fraction of the cost.
The island’s sole luxury accommodation is Yemaya Reefs Resort. 16 oceanfront casitas blend seamlessly with the natural surroundings. The resort offers a range of activities, including snorkeling, scuba diving, and sunset cruises. Yoga classes are available on-site as well as a spa with treatments to help you unwind. Or you can do what I did for most of my stay: sit on your front porch, sip coffee, and gaze out at the vast blue ocean.
