Immersed in local culture
At Sardina Surf Camp, we’re rooted in Popoyo with deep family history and strong local ties. This isn’t just a visit—it’s an invitation to live like a local. From seasonal meals made with fresh, homegrown ingredients to days shaped by waves and sun, we offer more than a stay—we share a way of life.
Surrounded by nature
Wake to the roar of howler monkeys in the hills. Horses cut across the horizon, iguanas bask on sun-baked stone, and hummingbirds streak by as you rinse in the open air. The wind tears through the trees, and sudden rain reminds you where you are—deep in it, alive, wide open to the wild.
Family at heart
This is a place built on genuine connections and a shared love for the land and ocean. We’ve created a space that feels like home, welcoming every guest to embrace the authentic rhythm of life here. Each visitor becomes part of our story, sharing in the experience that makes Sardina truly special.
