As a must-see destination in El Salvador, our boutique hotel and surf academy offers a unique blend of comfort, style, and surf expertise. Whether you are looking to catch waves, chill by the pool or explore nature, our resort provides everything you need for an unforgettable experience.
Puro Surf is nestled right in front of El Zonte Point, one of El Salvador's most consistent waves, just 45 minutes from the international airport.
We are the only resort in the country that combines a boutique hotel, a professional surf academy, and a beachfront restaurant under one roof. Whether you are here to train, to rest, or both, everything you need is already here.
Founded by Marcelo Castellanos, our academy is the first professional surf academy in El Salvador, built around a methodology that takes surfers from their very first wave all the way to elite performance.
Whether you are looking to catch waves, chill by the pool, or explore nature, our resort provides everything you need for an unforgettable experience, and the team is ready to take care of you.
El Salvador is one of those places that catches you off guard, in the best way. Consistent waves year-round, warm water, and world-class breaks like Punta Roca, El Sunzal, and El Zonte make it one of Central America's most rewarding surf destinations.
But there's more to it than the ocean. Volcanic peaks, tropical beaches, and a landscape that shifts as you move through it. A food culture built around pupusas, fresh seafood, specialty coffee, and authentic cacao. And people who make you feel welcome in a way that's genuinely hard to put into words.
Most people come for the waves. Most end up staying for everything else.
The Surf Camp is our signature program, built around one idea: teaching you how to train, not just how to surf. Six days of coached sessions, video analysis, and land drills, with accommodation, meals, and transfers included.
Puro Surf Performance Academy was founded by Marcelo Castellanos, a certified ISA surf coach who has worked with athletes across the Panamerican Games, the WSL Championship Tour, and the Olympics.
He developed a holistic methodology, the Surf Sequence, which gives every surfer a clear and structured path to progress. Because good surfing is not just learned in the water.
At Puro Surf Academy we see surfing not just as a sport but as a way of life, and our mission is to make the joy of surfing accessible to everyone, regardless of their level or background.
