When to rent a villa in Rivas

Rivas, Nicaragua is a tropical paradise with a warm and sunny climate year-round. If you're looking for a relaxed beach vacation without the crowds, consider visiting during the dry season, which typically runs from December to April. These months offer pleasant temperatures ranging from 70°F to 85°F (21°C to 30°C), making them ideal for outdoor activities like snorkeling, kayaking, and exploring the local culture.

If you're looking for a more vibrant atmosphere and don't mind the occasional rain shower, visit Rivas during the green season, which runs from May to November. This period is characterized by lush vegetation and blooming flowers, creating a picturesque landscape. While it's true that some of the region's attractions might be closed or have limited hours during this time, many local businesses and tour operators offer special deals and promotions to attract visitors. Additionally, the green season is an excellent time for water sports enthusiasts, as the rain brings in fresh ocean currents, making it perfect for surfing, paddleboarding, and other activities.

Where to go in Rivas

If you're seeking a more vibrant atmosphere and amenities, consider staying in the town of Rivas itself, where you'll find a range of restaurants, shops, and bars to enjoy. However, if you prefer a quieter pace, head to one of the many surrounding beaches, such as San Juan del Sur or Playa El Coco, which offer stunning ocean views and gentle sand dunes.

For a more secluded experience, consider staying in one of the region's many villages, where you can immerse yourself in local culture and enjoy peaceful walks through scenic countryside. Some popular options include Villa Hacienda Principe and surrounding areas, known for their tranquil atmosphere and picturesque views, while others like San Juan del Sur offer a slightly more lively vibe with its range of amenities and activities.
