Just 10 minutes from the estate lies Playa Venao, one of Latin America’s premier surf destinations and host to international competitions. With consistent waves year-round, it offers the perfect balance: gentle breaks for beginners, playful rides for intermediates, and powerful swells for seasoned surfers.

For those seeking more adventure, private surf expeditions can be arranged to remote breaks along the Pacific coast, taking you off the beaten path to wilder, more secluded waters.
