Beyond the waves

There’s plenty to enjoy outside the surf. Slow down with yoga or a massage in your cabana, set out on a fishing trip, or dive into adventure with volcano hikes and lagoon swims. For a taste of culture, wander artisan towns and colourful streets. We’ll share our add-on menu when you get in touch and help you plan the perfect mix of surf, adventure, and downtime.

Life at Sardina

We’re a Nicaraguan-British family raising our children by the ocean, and Sardina is our way of sharing this life with you. Fresh meals, fireside evenings, and adventures beyond the waves let you settle into our rhythm. You’ll arrive as a guest and leave as a friend, woven into our story of waves, land, and community.
