Relaxed surf resort on one of El Salvador’s world-class righthand point breaks
Slip into the laidback El Salvador lifestyle far from the maddening crowds of Surf City’s busier spots. Just 45 minutes’ drive from La Libertad, K59 Surf Resort offers consistent waves just footsteps from your bed.
Owned and run by a professional surfer, at K59 you can enjoy expert local advice, empty waves and refreshing coconuts after each session. While there’s very little to do here except surf and chill, it’s easy to break out for adventures to see waterfalls, volcanoes and Mayan ruins, and you’re not far from the famous Punta Roca, and the longboarding haven of El Sunzal.
