Isla El Arenal offers a rare chance to own a private tropical island in the iconic Isletas de Granada. It sits within the calm waters of Lake Nicaragua.
The island spans approximately 2 1/4 acres (9,188.29 m²). It features flat, usable terrain surrounded by lush tropical vegetation. Cooling lake breezes and panoramic water views enhance the peaceful setting.
The island is just minutes from the mainland. You can reach it in only a 3-minute rowboat ride, with no motorboat or lancha needed, from the shore near Manku Lake Resort. This unique access offers true privacy while maintaining convenient proximity to Granada, where restaurants, services, and tourism infrastructure are all nearby.
The island’s size and flat topography allow flexibility for many types of projects. You could build a private luxury residence, boutique eco-resort, or retreat center. It also works well as a high-end Airbnb destination. Tourism continues to grow in the Granada region. Demand for unique hospitality experiences is also increasing. This makes Isla El Arenal both a lifestyle investment and a strong long-term asset.

Isletas de Granada
The Isletas de Granada are a breathtaking archipelago of over 300 small islands scattered across Lake Nicaragua, formed thousands of years ago by a volcanic eruption from nearby Mombacho Volcano. Located just minutes by boat from the historic city of Granada, the islets offer a unique blend of natural beauty, rich biodiversity, and peaceful waterfront living. Many islands feature private homes, eco-lodges, and boutique retreats, while others remain untouched, providing habitat for tropical birds, monkeys, and lush vegetation. Known for their calm waters, stunning sunsets, and easy access to city amenities, the Isletas are considered one of Nicaragua’s most exclusive and desirable waterfront destinations for both lifestyle buyers and investors.
Whether you envision a peaceful private retreat or a distinctive hospitality project, Isla El Arenal offers unmatched natural beauty, accessibility, and development potential in one of Nicaragua’s most iconic destinations.
