Escape Winter on This Stunning Private Island

El Coyol is an exclusive, LGBTQ+ welcoming private island on Lake Nicaragua

El Coyol awaits you with lush gardens, luxury accommodations, an infinity pool, and the serenity of nature.

Set in the Islets of Granada archipelago on Lake Nicaragua is the El Coyol Private Resort Island. While it’s less than an hour away from Managua International Airport, the private island resort will seem worlds away for guests looking to escape the cold of winter.

This incredible LGBTQ-welcoming island is available right now on Airbnb, but we have a preview of the property for out travelers here.

The main house features a full living area with chef’s kitchen, but don’t worry. Owner Nicky will be on hand with a full staff to attend to your every need.

“We recently had a visit from a group of 6 guys who were all fab and they had a wonderful time here, and very much enjoyed seeing some of the amazing sights that Nicaragua has to offer,” El Coyol owner Nicky tells Out Traveler. “We only ask that our guests are lovely!”

Judging from that group’s message on Airbnb, El Coyol sounds like an LGBTQ+ traveler’s perfect escape from the hustle of everyday life.

“Waking up at El Coyol is a dream!! The sound of the birds, cool breeze off the lake and soft light illuminating endless shades of green in the garden - what more does one need?

Our time here has been relaxing and restorative with a side of adventure. Daily yoga and sunning by the pool, massages, kayaking around the isletas…and the epic boat ride to Ometepe/hike of Maderas!

Nicky was a gracious host, always attentive to our needs and available to arrange last-minute excursions, like our chocolate lesson and tasting at Argencove followed by a night tour of the magna caldera at Masaya National Park.”

Luxury like this comes at a cost, of course, and staying a night at the El Coyol Private Resort Island on Lake Nicaragua will set your party back $975 a night, but with accommodations for eight guests, it might just be the perfect setting for your next luxury escape with family.
