Surf Samara (Guanacaste, Costa Rica) ★★★

Our place lies a little outside of Samara on a small hilltop, surrounded by a huge and beautiful tropical garden. The perfect place to relax after your surf sessions. Our unique, rustic treehouses are built on piles. From the terrace you can spot wildlife or just chill in the hammock.

In our small Surfcamp with a cozy atmosphere, we want to share our passion for surfing with you and offer a genuine experience of Costa Rica's lifestyle, nature & people. Our goal is your progress and that's why our I.S.A certified instructors and small groups (never more than three surfers per coach) will give you the personalized attention you need to improve your skills and feel safe and relaxed during your Costarican trip. We speak English, Spanish and German. Our two very friendly dogs Morty and Pinto are always up for some adventure.

We are a surf-crazed Costa Rican-Swiss couple who fell in love with Samara a long time ago. Surf Samara is born from the idea of infusing the surfing experience with the cultural experience that is living in Samara. An embracing community that will make you feel at home, Samara is in the middle of a surf-rich area where you will be able to improve your surfing while simultaneously immersing yourself in the Tico lifestyle.
We believe in creating rich and meaningful memories, and transmitting our surfing values, ideals and ways of engaging with nature to our guests in forms they can apply to all aspects of their life. We want to share our passion for waves and for this beautiful place with you!
