Aurea is offering a new and unique hospitality experience. Where guests have the opportunity to live and learn in nature and walk away inspired to live a more conscious life.

To enter AUREA is to feel as if you are walking into a rich forest with expansive views. The architecture is a contemporary reinterpretation of a colonial house, characterized by an interior patio layout and a ground-level-only dwelling under a canopy of trees.

All the furniture pieces in the rooms were designed and built using locally sourced and naturally dried laurel, the most common hardwood in Nicaragua and combined with leftovers of the construction site such as the steel rebars and framings. The wood claddings and drop ceilings are built with show sugih ban fire-treated pine. Custom-made colonial tiles add depth to the large bathroom that is fitted out with bald concrete vanities and vintage accessories.
