We send our Casa Violeta guests three Spotify playlists before their trip.

One for each moment in the house that you can only experience in that exact place, at that exact time.

​
The first is for mornings. Fresh coffee from the french press, tropical birds going buck wild as the sun starts to crack through the palms — you're in the middle of a colorful colonial town, but the house makes you feel like the jungle came to you. The world is still half-asleep around you.

Then there's the one for afternoons around the pool—when you're feeling a little buzzy, drinking rum and cokes, the heat is intense, but the pool keeps you cool and refreshed. This mix is spicy.

The third is for sunset on the terrace — passion fruit margaritas, Volcano Mombacho catching the last of the light, the sky cycling through oranges and yellows and deep purples before it's done.

The idea is simple. We're thinking about how the house feels at different moments — the light, the birds, the shade of the banana leaves, the way they move around you. Music that enhances what's already there. Not background noise. Something that makes each moment land a little harder.

“Absolutely stunning home that was even better in person than in the pictures — and the pictures are beautiful. Everything is very well thought out. It's not only beautifully designed but full of great amenities. From the elegant decorations to the lush plants and beautiful rooms, this is the perfect place to truly unwind." -- Airbnb Review

​
So if you need a little mental vacay today, enjoy the playlists! Happy Sunday!

If you want to experience it yourself, we have some summer openings. And if you'd like help building out a full Nicaragua itinerary — volcanoes, surf, crater lakes, boutique hotels on the islands, a candlelight dinner at one of our favorite restaurants in Latin America — just reply and we'll take it from there.
