Puro Surf Hotel

Top choice in Central El Salvador


From the yoga studio to the weights room, every detail of this slick hotel and surf academy has been designed with surfers in mind. Each of the 13 rooms has been impeccably decorated using Salvadoran materials and has a balcony with views of the breaks below, while the infinity pool might just tempt you away from the waves.

The luxurious dorm is the perfect place to chew the fat with fellow surfers.
