“A LITTLE PIECE OF PARADISE ON THE PACIFIC COAST OF MEXICO”
THE RESORT
We’ll stay at a cute beachfront eco-hotel, surrounded by vegetation and only a few steps from the beach. This is the perfect escape to get out of your normal routine and re-connect with yourself and the ocean while having tons of fun!
It is located about 40 minutes from the colorful and friendly fishing town, Zihuatanejo, where you can find charming local markets and delicious street tacos, and only a 5-minute drive from Troncones which is known for surfing, fishing, and laidback vibes. If you’re looking for an adventure that’s more remote but close to the waves, you’ll love this location.
The eco-friendly hotel features comfortable private rooms, (some fan-cooled, some with AC) and 1 shared room, a delicious restaurant where they make local food from scratch, a yoga studio overlooking the ocean, swimming pool, relaxing hammocks, a lush garden, tide pools right out front, and a variety of chill areas.
THE SURF
There are several great surf spots nearby. We’ll primarily focus our surf energy on a fun and mellow, sand bottom beach break that has both lefts and rights. If the swell is larger we can adventure to the long left point breaks nearby. Regardless of the time of year or what swell is on offer, the area has consistent surf with options for all ability levels. Whether you are a first-timer or expert nose-rider, there’s something for everyone and we’ll split up the group by ability so everyone is appropriately supported or challenged by what the swell is offering that day. We can walk to the surf but will also drive depending on which spot we’re headed to enjoy. Expect both longboard and shortboard friendly waves.
At this location we are partnering with a local surf coaching team made up of male instructors. While each of our locations have unique local community considerations, at this spot successfully running retreats requires working with locals. The benefit to Amigas is that the coach to client ratio is double our normal program. You can expect on-wave coaching by local specialists as well as our usual super supportive female coaching team lead by Laila.
