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.

Why We Built This
We didn’t build Flamingo to be a hotel.
We built it because most people are exhausted, overstimulated, and disconnected from what actually matters.
Another vacation doesn’t fix that.
What people really need is space.
Space to slow down.
Space to reconnect.
Space to think clearly again.
Flamingo was designed to create that environment—naturally.
No forced wellness. No artificial experience.
Just ocean air, real food, movement, conversation, and time.
What Makes This Different
- 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
Proven. Trusted. Loved.
With a 9.9 rating on Booking.com (Top 1% globally) and over 200 five-star Google & Trip Advisor reviews, Flamingo has quietly become one of the top-rated stays in Nicaragua. But what matters most isn’t the score. It’s what people say after they leave...

This was an absolute 10 out of 10 and I WILL be returning. I was obsessed with every single detail. The location is literally unbeatable and a perfect spot to surf every day and enjoy nature. The hospitality was delightful. The food was delicious and I cannot wait to come back!!

We stayed for three nights at this accommodation, which is absolutely amazing. Super comfortable, planned down to the smallest detail, and with a breathtaking view of the bay, even at sunset 😀 We felt completely at ease and can wholeheartedly recommend this place. We would definitely come back. Ali and his wife are very helpful. There are also several restaurants within walking distance of the beach where you can eat well.

We really enjoyed our stay. Everything was great.. the service, the room, the view, the breakfast, and the proximity to the beach.

A quite amazing place! Great rooms with quite brilliant views over the bay; Great touches that really make a difference when staying there. Great bar with huge choice. The breakfasts are possibly the best we have had in Nicaragua. This felt a real luxury and privilege to stay there. Ali and Frania are great hosts and assist with any queries from recommendations to arranging taxis. We loved staying here.

We had an unforgettable vacation in Nicaragua, and our host made it even more special. Super attentive, kind, and always available if we needed anything. The place was beautiful, clean, and perfectly located. It felt more like being welcomed by family than just renting a place. Thank you for making our trip so memorable — we can’t wait to return!

This 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.
Many guests arrive curious about Nicaragua—and leave with a completely different perspective on lifestyle, cost of living, and opportunity.
If you're open to it, we’re happy to share what we’ve learned.
