Escape Winter and Discover Paradise on Little Corn Island.
When winter hits hard and the days turn grey and cold, snow blankets the streets, and the world spins with uncertainty, Little Corn Island stays bright, warm, and alive. This tiny Caribbean island off Nicaragua’s coast is a hidden paradise; turquoise waters, golden beaches, and a slow, peaceful rhythm that instantly melts winter blues.
This dream is personal to us. As Canadians, we know winter, the cold that settles into your bones, the constant rush notification, and the exhaustion that piles up. We wanted a different way of living: sunshine, community, island culture, and a slower rhythm that nourishes the soul. So we left the cold behind and created The Lighthouse Retreat, a place where the sun, the ocean, and the friendly local culture guide your days.
And now, that warmth is here waiting for you.
A Dream Built to Share Peace and Joy
At The Lighthouse Retreat, we take care of everything; your cabaña, your meals, your activities, your wellness treatments, and your island experiences so all you have to do is arrive, breathe, and let the Caribbean sun do its work.
In our very first year, we were proudly featured in National Geographic’s Islands Collection Ultimate Escapes 2024. That recognition reminded us why we keep going despite the chaos of the world: to create a space where the ocean, the sun, and the calm of the island help people truly reset and reconnect with themselves and nature.
Little Corn Island is more than a retreat destination; it’s a sanctuary where life slows, nature restores, and the world’s worries feel far away.
