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 many things including sustainability,  and contribute to the well being of the local communities. 

Carpe Diem was built over the last 5 years by over 700 international volunteers. Everybody brought their personality and used their creativity to make this project such a special and powerful place to be. 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 

We nurture a back to the source and healthy environment where people can heal, grow and get empowered through the support of a community.

To connect people and create a vibe that is more user-friendly, we decided to create a co-living space instead of a traditional host/guest resort.

Everyone participate in 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!
