New Vision for Nicaragua's Seaside Mariana Community
The master plan for Seaside Mariana integrates a broader selection of residential options to widen the overall appeal. The community includes low-rise condominiums, town homes and our own Laya Boutique Hotel bungalows in addition to the individual home sites and golf villas featured in the original plan.
An integral part of Seaside Mariana is a 330-room Wyndham Resort & Casino, Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course, and Plumeria, Nicaragua’s first international beachfront destination spa.
Pricing is another area that Grupo Mariana has seriously considered in light of the economy. As a result, prices for condos in two low-rise buildings in the first phase of Seaside Mariana: the Mariana del Norte neighborhood are set between $99,000 and $260,000. Construction launches in May 2011 with completion expected summer 2012.
There are two low-rise beachfront condominium buildings with just 16 units each available for sale in this initial offering. These beachfront condominiums offer completely furnished Studio, 1 Bedroom and 2 Bedroom options, ranging from 484 to 1,160 square feet. Only 4 stories high, these intimate condominium residences feature a walk out balcony or patio, a private pool at each building and a relaxed neighborhood palapa-style restaurant.
Fractional ownership options also will be available within Seaside Mariana in response to research and market demand indicating desire within the large Baby Boomer market, many of whom don't wish to be tied to a single resort property. As Chairman Kevin Fleming points out, the Boomer generation is interested in the ability to travel widely and experience different places.
One new component, Laya Boutique Hotel and Bungalows, is an eco-conscious offering with 14 beachfront bungalows, with construction slated to begin in the second quarter of 2011.
Grupo Mariana also has formed a strategic alliance with Wyndham Hotels & Resorts to develop the $30 million, 330-room Wyndham Mariana Resort & Casino, featuring an oceanfront Wyndham hotel and residential condominiums within the community’s town center.
Another aspect we are very proud of is our commitment to reinvest five percent of each real estate transaction at Seaside Mariana back into the economic development of the surrounding area, Fleming says of Grupo Mariana's 5% for Futures Program. "It's a win-win to help drive economic growth and sustainability, which enhances the lives of local citizens and makes the entire area more attractive to investors and visitors." Nestled on the Pacific Coast of Nicaragua, the resort’s 923 acres rise smoothly from over a mile of unspoiled beach to the Tecolapa River’s tree-lined banks, framed by distant rolling mountains. It is a place of the heart and soul, a quiet refuge dedicated to relaxation and revitalization.
Seaside Mariana is the jewel of the New Nicaragua, a country that understands the past and embraces the future. Residents and visitors will discover the country’s special charms and the warmth of its people, which complement the variety of amenities and recreational opportunities found within the resort.
Serving as the centerpiece of Seaside Mariana is a Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course, while a spa and wellness center will pamper the discriminating individuals who choose to own property here in this tropical paradise.
The New Nicaragua is experiencing strong economic growth, with international investment steadily rising and tourism up over 300% over the last decade. This emergence has drawn attention to the country, resulting in increased interest in real estate that has led to rising prices that promise the opportunity for potential returns rivaling those seen over the last 20 years in neighboring countries such as Costa Rica and Honduras.
For that reason, owning a condominium or golf villa at Seaside Mariana provides both a wonderful lifestyle and promising return on your investment.
Maximize The Return On Your Investment
Ownership at Seaside Mariana also includes a comprehensive rental program that will enable owners, if they desire, to rent their units, with all aspects handled by on-site personnel. Nicaragua is rapidly becoming a very desirable destination for visitors drawn by its biodiversity, pristine environment, beautiful beaches, culture and history, and numerous recreational opportunities. With the country currently receiving more than 1,000,000 visitors annually, there is growing demand for rentals.
By 2012, the hotel room deficit is projected at 5,000 units, while interest also is increasing in the type of luxury accommodations offered by Seaside Mariana. That means you can generate income from your investment at times when you’re not enjoying it. When you first walk onto the soft sands of the beach at Seaside Mariana, it’s not hard to imagine how the first explorers felt when they confronted such exquisite natural beauty. Then with your back to the ocean, the waves lapping around your feet, turn back and see the land embrace the vision of Seaside Mariana.
Before you, framed by the luxurious condominiums that reach down to the beach, is the heart of this place, Paseo Mariana. Within this town center are the unifying features that create a pulsing lifestyle — places to eat and drink, be entertained, relax, shop and feel the unique beat that makes Seaside Mariana extraordinary.
Connected to the central village is Playa Mariana Beach Club where you, your family and friends can lounge beneath the tropical sun and enjoy the refreshing waters of the infinity pool.

Just steps away, the wide, white beach and warm waves of the Pacific Ocean await you. Once there, you’ll never want to leave the magic of this place.
But when you do, the challenge of Madroño, the Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course awaits you. Edging through the natural grace of the savannah and along the river, the course winds downward toward the ocean, touching the beach, forcing players to push aside the beauty of the place in order to accept the test in front of them. After a round, a magnificent clubhouse awaits where you will be served and pampered.
And whenever you need to rejuvenate your body and mind, you have only to go as far as La Plumeria, Seaside Mariana’s 5-star destination spa where nature and art meet spirit. Surrender yourself to the skills found here and feel your daily cares slip away.
That’s the special magic of Seaside Mariana, a place that touches your soul and calms your spirit. |
