What to Expect
The Sleeping Space
We will have the Sansara Resort all to ourselves. There are thirteen private, ocean accessible zen cabanas surrounded by nature and tranquility. The cabanas are equipped with air conditioning to keep you cool and a mini-fridge for your refreshments.
The Surfing
If you are a beginner wanting to stand up on the board for the first time, an intermediate surfer wanting to increase your wave count or an advanced surfer looking to test your skills on the empty point breaks, you will find the guidance and support you need from the awesome world class surf coaching team at Sansara.
Boat Trip
We leave by boat from the hotel to travel along one of the most remote coastlines of Panama, Cerro Hoya National Park. On the way, we can see marine life like dolphins, whales, turtles, marlin, and tuna. We explore private beaches with sea caves and tidepools. After a picnic-style lunch we venture upriver through the jungle to relax at a remote waterfall and freshwater pool full of energy.
