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.

The views are breathtaking and Playa Remanso was the perfect place to relax.

While it had more amenities than a high-end resort, it felt like staying at a friend’s place.

Sleeping with the soft sound of the waves, waking up with the beauty of the beach, it was spectacular.

One of the most magical experiences I’ve ever had. First class service accommodations and views plus the convenience of being steps away from great surf and great food.

Dieser Ort ist unglaublich toll! Die Aussicht, das Zimmer und das Essen waren fantastisch. Besser geht es nicht! Der Strand ist 1 Minute entfernt und man kann easy Surf Lessons buchen oder ein Brett mieten. Vielen Dank für den tollen Aufenthalt!

Ali and Frania were incredibly kind and friendly hosts from the moment I arrived. As soon as you walk in, your jaw drops at the stunning view. It was also such a fun surprise to meet his 8 dogs and 2 cats, all of which were super friendly and adorable. You can really tell he thought of everything when creating this place. I’m usually someone who is always on the go and only uses my hotel to sleep and shower, but this stay was so peaceful and relaxing that I found myself not wanting to leave at all. The sunsets here are absolutely the highlight, truly some of the most beautiful I’ve seen. Between the pool, the atmosphere, and the overall vibe, it feels like having your own luxury private beach house. If you’re looking for somewhere comfortable, serene, and effortlessly beautiful, this is exactly that. The rooms were incredibly comfortable, and every detail of the aesthetic was thoughtfully done. Breakfast was great, and having direct beach access made it so easy to surf, take a walk, or grab food nearby. Honestly, there’s really no reason to leave once you’re here. I only wish I had stayed longer than two nights. I highly recommend this place, it was an amazing experience from start to finish.

Easily the best Air BnB stay / experience i've ever had, and I've had many. I came for a week, stayed for two and left with new friends and great memories. The location, accommodations, staff and hosts are the best! If there were 10 stars to give, they'd get them all. Enjoy your stay!

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.
