View from our lodge

Located in the Caribbean 45 miles off the eastern shore of Nicaragua, Little Corn Island is inhabited by 750 or so, English speaking people who earn their living from lobster fishing.

Casa Iguana Hotel and Beach

There are thirteen  private, individual cabins, right on the water. Each has a wide veranda, a hammock and a spectacular view of the ocean.

Lodge

Meals are served in the spacious lodge, where tables are set with fruits and vegetables from our garden. Fish, conch and lobster are gathered daily from the surrounding sea.

Alternative Energy and Ecotourism

Electricity is provided by a sophisticated solar energy system and wind powered generators. Casa Iguana also employs common environmentally healthy practices such as self-sustainability, conservation, composting, using rain water catchers, biodegradable products and available organic goods from market or our own garden. You will learn more during your stay. Reduce-Reuse-Recycle.

Fishing & Diving

The fishing is extraordinary. Kingfish, dolphin, jack, snapper and barracuda abound less than a mile offshore. Fly fishermen land tarpon and bonefish right from the beach. Our hotel boat, with accomplished guide, is available to guests for hire.

And for those who prefer the view from under the surface, directly in front of Casa Iguana lies what  Fodor's Travel has called "...the finest snorkeling reefs in the Caribbean."  The PADI certified Dive Little Corn on the leeward side of the island takes two trips a day, plus a night dive if you wish a noctornal adventure. Instruction for all levels is available.

What else is there to do?

SCUBA diving, snorkeling, fishing, kayaking, kitesurfing/kiteboarding and windsufing are all possible on Little Corn Island.

Aside from the more typical vacation diversions, many guests delight most in simply exploring the many deserted beaches, hiking the narrow trails through the surrounding hills and bush, or just visiting with the locals. Whatever you choose to do while a guest at Casa Iguana, you will be guaranteed a sense of a very unique and special place.
