YEMAYA ISLAND
LITTLE CORN ISLAND
Little Corn Island in Nicaragua is one of the most exquisite island hideaways, tucked away from the rest of the world. Arriving on Little Corn Island can be an adventure in itself, however the moment you step on the island you realize that the journey was all worthwhile. Rewind your watches to a time with no motorized vehicles, horse and carts, bicycles, kids playing on the beach and in the sea... enjoying the simple pleasures that get lost in the big cities and daily life elsewhere. A few simple restaurants and bars to provide a touch of nightlife but time here is mainly filled with walks, swims, tasting seafood fresh from the sea that day.. and of course a lot of hammock time just being hypnotized by the colors that Yemaya, goddess of the sea offers us as one of her many gifts.
About the Island
Little Corn Island is just around 50 miles from the Caribbean coast of Nicaragua. The island is a permanent home to around 800 locals, making it quaint and after a few days, very familiar - expect to be greeted with smiling faces and friendly nods far more frequently than other luxury Caribbean resorts. The island has many trails and beach walks to explore. But at only 3 sq km in size, nothing is far away. The island has many small secluded coves and beaches where you are not likely to see a single other person all day. No high rise apartment buildings or crowded all-inclusive resorts. Little Corn Island is the exact opposite to most Caribbean Island vacations…and the locals want to keep it that way!

DINING
Our restaurant is a casual affair, perched on a small bluff overlooking the stunning Caribbean Sea. We try to use as many ingredients as we can from the island and the sea that surrounds us. Dining on our terrace, gazing out across the mesmerizing colors of blue and turquoise, or under a starlit sky will be one of those memories you and your partner will carry with you forever. Love is in the air! Breakfast, lunch and dinner all consist of a simple menu, inspired by local ingredients and traditions and can change depending on the availability of ingredients on the day. Our bar has a limited wine list, local Nicaraguan rum and beers, and some of the classic cocktails if you are in the mood for a mojito, piña colada or margarita, all island style of course. And for a special occasion we might even find a bottle of bubbly or two.
YOGA RETREATS
Drawing on the sacredness of the space that makes up this quiet, hideaway island, we bring you the opportunity to slow down, inhale tranquillity, and experience a sense of calm connectedness with each beautifully guided movement. We have a beautiful yoga studio that is lovingly enveloped by the tropical fingers of our jungle. Master your headstand on our springwood floors while you hear the calls of monkeys and birds echoing around you. Inhale the salty ocean air and drink in the sound of the waves as you stretch your body into a downward-facing-dog. While your classes can be run in the studio, we welcome yogis to make use of the beach and connect with the gentle inhale and exhale of the waves during their personal yoga session.
