Located on the Pacific coast of Isla los Brasiles in Nicaragua, the lodge is a beachfront Eco-resort, co-living space and educational center where guests and volunteers can experience life in a community, learn about sustainability and contribute to the well being of the local communities.

Carpe Diem was built over the last 5 years by over 600 international volunteers from our natural building school. Over 90% of building structures were built with natural and recycled materials. We are solar powered and use water directly from man-made wells on site. Half of the 1 hectare piece of land is forested and serves as a camping area and fruit farm, while the front is a stunning sunny area where guests can enjoy the main community space. Compost toilets and open air showers are scattered throughout the premises for your convenience.

​
​COMMUNITY AND CO-LIVING SPACE

To keep our prices as low as possible and to make everybody feel equal and part of the family, we decided to create a co-living space instead of a traditional resort. 

In order to keep our home safe and enjoyable for everyone, we expect everybody to wash his dishes and to participate to the daily tasks like passing the broom, filling the water filter, helping to cook etc... It only takes a few minutes per day but it makes all the difference!
