Meet Your Hosts
Ali Abrahimia
Host & Curator
Ali is a self-made entrepreneur who built and sold a U.S.-based company after 13 years in business. After years of success, he hit a point many people never talk about—burnout, disconnection, and a desire for something more real.
Instead of continuing down the same path, he made a bold decision: leave the U.S. and start over on the coast of Nicaragua.
What began as a personal reset turned into something much bigger.
He designed and built The Flamingo Experience as a place that blends nature, comfort, and intentional living—drawing from his background in business, design, and human performance.
Today, Ali hosts guests not just as a property owner, but as a guide—offering insight into lifestyle, business, and what it actually takes to build a life you don’t need a vacation from.
Franny Kalhary
Host & Realtor
Frannie brings local knowledge, cultural insight, and real estate expertise that most travelers never get access to.
As a Nicaraguan native and licensed real estate professional, she helps guests understand not just where they are—but what’s possible here.
From navigating local culture to identifying investment opportunities, Frannie bridges the gap between curiosity and confidence.
Together, Ali and Frannie offer a rare combination: international perspective and deep local connection.

Really cool place to spend some time in to relax. You feel very removed from everything which is exactly what we needed! Room is super comfortable and modern, the pool is great and overlooks the beach. The beach itself is maybe one min walk?! Also they have a private chef and we had the poke bowls one day which were so good, really fresh and delicious flavours. I would say this place is on the expensive side but great as a treat for 3/4 days.

The positives: The views - stunning! tea selection at the self-serve bar - awesome, clean drinking water and ice! comfortable bed, access to the beach, very quick laundry!, quiet at night, neighboring beach (20 min walk) is really nice and empty; easy arrival, thanks to co-host Frania. Unfortunately, the overall vibe was quite off during our stay, where I would give it 3.5 overall pleasantness/comfort. Construction next door starts at 7am, the room blocks an impressive amount of noise, but is not magical. There is a lot of ongoing construction on that beach in general and the beach is quite busy (but not so, if you are used to Waikiki or some other overbuilt beach/city atmosphere, where you and neighbors see/hear each other's balcony party/family drama)... Unlike many other guests, we unfortunately didn't find Ali very friendly, a few times I asked for pointers on surfing and the road, I felt I was putting him out... There were occasional glimpses of friendliness, helpfulness and even kindness, but the impression was that he was either done hosting or maybe very affected by his recent injury, as "don't bother me" attitude was swiftly back. Ali was almost always at the common/pool area, when we were using it... Frania, was nice to us the whole time.

Hospitality is just the beginning
What started as a boutique stay is evolving into something more.
For some, Flamingo is a vacation.
For others, it’s the beginning of a new chapter living abroad.
Many guests arrive curious about Nicaragua—and leave with a completely different perspective on lifestyle, cost of living, and worldly opportunity.
For qualified buyers, we’re happy to share what we’ve learned about buying and developing real estate in Nicaragua.
What Makes This DifferentÂ
- True oceanfront location — step out and you’re on the wave
- Fully hosted experience — not a DIY vacation rental
- Curated food, music, and atmosphere
- Surf, adventure, and wellness integrated naturally
- Access to trusted local experiences and connections
- Optional guidance on living, working, or investing in Nicaragua
