Pavones Surf Resort
Pavones Surf Resort is a low-key base beside one of the longest left-hand point breaks in the world. Surf in the morning, rest in the afternoon, and let a remote corner of southern Costa Rica set the pace.
Your Base in Pavones
Pavones sits at the far south of Costa Rica's Pacific coast, well past the crowds of the northern beaches. The accommodation is built around the wave: close to the point, quiet, and easy to settle into.
Mornings are early and unhurried. The lineup stays uncrowded, and the surrounding jungle keeps the setting wild rather than polished.

Life Between Sessions
Surfing is only part of a trip here. The hours between sessions are slow by design.
Afternoons open up for resting, reading, or exploring. The coast is full of wildlife, from monkeys and toucans to sea turtles offshore. See more on our things to do in Pavones guide.
What Guests Say
Pavones was completely different from the surf destinations I've visited before. The resort was comfortable and peaceful, but what I enjoyed most was how easy it was to settle into the rhythm of the place. Surf in the morning, good food, slow afternoons and plenty of time to enjoy the surroundings without constantly checking the clock.

The setting is incredible, especially in the mornings when everything is so quiet. It felt like a real escape rather than just another place to stay while surfing.
Sophie R. · France
I loved how relaxed the whole experience was from the moment we arrived. The resort has everything you need after a long day in the water, without losing that feeling of being somewhere remote and special. I left feeling genuinely rested, which isn't something I can usually say after a surf trip.
