Calala Island sunrise Calala Island: king of the private islands Welcome to Calala Island: your own private island. Welcome to a little piece of unspoilt paradise, the king of the private islands. Enjoy the ultimate in luxury private island service, where a maximum of 10 guests are taken care of by a team of 25, who tend to your every whim. Calala island untouched paradise An almost untouched part of the world This is barefoot luxury at its best in an almost untouched part of the world. Calala Island is situated in an undiscovered part of the Caribbean, in the idyllic Pearl Cays off the Nicaraguan coast. Hence the name given by the team at Calala Island: NiCarribean. Nicaragua’s Caribbean coast is quite a contrast to its Spanish Pacific coast, as it is comprised mostly of small fishing communities. Calala private island 10 acres of blissful paradise Calala Island is worlds removed from most luxury destinations of the 21st century. It is 10 acres of blissful paradise, where you can truly lose touch with reality and relax more deeply than you could ever have imagined. Look out to the palm-fringed turquoise water, where the waves are lapping gently and the birds are calling happily. On one side of the island there’s also the most gorgeous free-form infinity pool, which has a swim-up bar. During the day it’s easy not to want to go anywhere else!

Designed by Matthew Falkiner, a renowned leading architect, there are only four of these bungalow suites on the island. Each blends seamlessly into its surroundings on the remote paradise island beach. Only the finest locally sourced handcrafted furniture has been used to complete the perfection. Each suite is named after a local community.

  1. I was just clicking back through the ALTB archives, looking for inspiration for my 2019 hols, when I found this.

    I’ve travelled a lot but I would be hard-pushed to locate Nicaragua on a map but I now want to track down Calala Island. With an idyllic Caribbean shoreline, a great staff to guest ratio and Michrlin standard food the place has got a lot of advantages.
