If you are looking for a vacation that is tailored exactly to your desires from private surf lessons and surf trips to local breaks, to small personalized yoga classes at the hour of your choosing, to personalized dinning options, to the option of going on a dozen tour options if you want a break from the waves, this surf camp will be the perfect choice! Enjoy the scenic view of the ocean and jungle from the balcony space to the beds. Come and experience the natural, rustic beauty of Ayampe in complete comfort!
Vistamar boasts ocean views from all the beds, a fully stocked covered outdoor kitchen, an open loft with ocean and jungle views that is outfitted with hammocks and a desk, and lots of furnished balcony space. Vistamar also has a movable wooden platform with a roof that can be set up on the lawn for yoga or any other purpose your retreat calls for.
Vistamar Guest House offers you the opportunity to catch the best waves for your surf experience and comfort level by providing private surf coaches or a pick up truck at your disposal to search for the best waves that conditions provide.
The itinerary is flexible so that you can shape each vacation experience around what you want! Vistamar Guest House does provide a basic framework that includes surfing (with a guide and/or instructor) in the morning and evening (usually) with yoga either in the middle of the day or in the morning, depending on what you prefer. You may also go horseback riding, bike riding, explore the jungle by foot and/or go snorkeling and explore hidden coves if you don't want to take part of yoga and surf. It's your decision, it's your vacation!
During all Vistamar programs, all yoga classes are small and private. Also, surf classes hold a maximum of three people per instructor.
Additionally, the team will give you the option to choose time the meals will be served (and what is served), what time yoga is, what type/style of yoga is practiced, what time the surf classes are, what type of break is desired (this means we are happy to go on a mission in the Vistamar pick up truck), and the option of trading out a surf class for a guided hike, snorkel, etc. Everything in this vacation will be designed to suit your needs.
If you don't want to do any yoga or surfing any given day, you may change your activities to a snorkeling trip, horseback riding, and exploring the jungle and hidden coves.
