A Decade of Calala Island

A message from the owners of Calala Island.

Ten years ago, we opened the doors to a small island with a big heart - with a dream to share the untouched beauty of Nicaragua's Caribbean coast and to build something meaningful for the people and communities around us.

What began as a vision of true barefoot luxury has grown into something deeper - a way of life rooted in authenticity, conservation, and community. From the start, we have believed that true hospitality goes beyond the tangible; it is about respect for the land, its people, and the spirit that makes this place so special.

Over the past decade, Calala Island has become home not only to esteemed guests from around the world, but to a team whose warmth and dedication embody the very essence of the Island. Our Foundation continues to support local communities, protect endangered species such as the Hawksbill turtle, and champion sustainable practices that ensure this paradise will be shared for generations to come.

As we celebrate our tenth anniversary, we want to mark the occasion in our own quiet way - with gratitude. To thank those sharing in our journey, we are gifting US $2,510 on all bookings made before May 10 2026*. It's a small gesture of our appreciation to the extraordinary guests who continue to shape Calala's story.

We look forward to welcoming you soon - to raise a glass, share a memory, and begin the next decade together.

With warm regards,

Tim & Sarah Wickham
