At Amaru, we know that planning a surf trip as a couple can be tricky. One person might be confident in overhead waves and seeking a week of adrenaline, while the other might still be learning to pop up and hoping for some much-deserved relaxation. Yet most surf destinations for couples aren’t built with both partners in mind and can really only cater to one type of traveler. They’re either:

Hostels with zero privacy or amenities
Highly structured retreats with rigid schedules and shared rooms
Aggressive “boys-club” surf camps
Destinations that only work for one skill level

Amaru, on the other hand, is a couples-friendly surf destination in Nicaragua designed to be enjoyed at your own pace, in as many ways as you’d like, no matter your surf experience level (or levels).

Waves for Every Level (So No One Feels Left Behind)

The fastest way to ruin a couples’ surf vacation is choosing a destination that only one of you can realistically enjoy, while the other sits on the sidelines. Maybe you choose a small wave spot and one person is bored. Or you spring for the big-wave destination and someone has to watch from afar the entire trip.

Amaru is uniquely positioned between multiple breaks that cater to different abilities. That means:

Beginners can enjoy surf lessons and build confidence in approachable, forgiving waves
Intermediates can progress without pressure
Advanced surfers can push themselves and perform

You can surf at your own level during the day, schedule a guided adventure in the afternoon, and then reconnect over sunset drinks. No ego. No intimidation. No sitting on the beach feeling defeated. Just shared stoke, fun, and a welcoming community for all—exactly what a surf trip for couples should feel like.

Real Privacy. Real Comfort.

Let’s be honest; romance and bunk beds don’t mix. Unlike crowded hostels or shared-room retreat setups, we offer:

Quiet, private rooms
Private bathrooms
Fresh daily linens
Air conditioning
Potable water
WiFi
Dedicated workspaces
Ocean views

Our spaces are designed with comfort and privacy in mind, so that you can fully relax, recharge, and enjoy quality time together in the comfort of your own space. Whether you’re here in full vacation mode, mixing surf with remote work, or doing a little bit of both, you get the raw beauty of Nicaragua without sacrificing amenities or privacy—ideal for a romantic surf getaway for couples.

Food That Feels Like a Date Night (Every Night)

Our kitchen focuses on fresh, nourishing meals with options for nearly all dietary preferences. Mealtimes at Amaru are full of vibrant flavors, local ingredients, and ocean views. We’ve got everything covered, so you can leave the prep, planning, and cleanup at home.

Here, you surf together, you eat well, and you slow down—exactly how a relaxing surf vacation for couples should feel.

Wellness That Balances the Adventure

Surfing is energizing, but recovery matters. That’s why we offer:

Daily, guided yoga classes
Ocean-view couples massages
Acupuncture & cupping

It’s not just about chasing waves. It’s about feeling good in your body while you’re here—so you can actually enjoy your couples surf retreat instead of feeling wrecked halfway through.

Romantic & Adventurous Experiences Beyond the Water

When you’re ready to explore, Nicaragua delivers. Couples love:

Sunset horseback riding along the beach
Rum tours and tastings
A guided visit to the colonial city of León
Volcano hiking
Volcano boarding
Wake surfing

You can spend the morning surfing and the afternoon hiking a volcano. Or skip the adrenaline and book back-to-back massages before sunset. Here, there’s space for both adventure and intimacy on your surf trip to Nicaragua as a couple.

A Different Kind of Surf Experience for Couples

We’re not a chaotic party hostel.
We’re not a hyper-masculine surf camp.
We’re not a retreat that dictates your every hour.

We’re a welcoming, comfortable, couples-friendly surf destination in Nicaragua where both partners feel supported, excited, and restored, no matter their surf level.

The best trips aren’t just about the waves, they’re about sharing something new together. So if you’ve been looking for an escape that blends connection, comfort, adventure, and progression, a couples surf trip to Nicaragua might be exactly what you need.
