About this trip

Come to Nicaragua to surf, and still have time to experience the place.

Room to Roam combine warm-water waves, local surf knowledge, comfortable accommodation, good food and the relaxed rhythm of life in Playa Gigante.

This is not a rigid surf camp where every hour is scheduled. Your week is built around your surf level, the conditions and the kind of experience you want. Surf when the waves are right, return to the hotel for a meal or a swim, explore the village and leave space to enjoy Nicaragua beyond the lineup.

Whether you are catching your first waves, working on your technique or looking for local guidance and access to different breaks, you can choose the Surf Week that fits you best.

The beach and village are a short walk away, while several of southern Nicaragua’s best-known surf breaks are within reach by road or boat. Nearby options include Playa Amarillo, Colorados, Panga Drops, Santana, Popoyo, Lance’s Left, Playgrounds and Manzanillo.

After surfing, return to a comfortable room, cool off in the pool, enjoy a meal at the restaurant or relax beneath the tropical palapa.

Rooms include:

  • Air conditioning

  • Private bathroom

  • Hot-water shower

  • WiFi

  • Bath towels

  • Access to the pool and hotel common areas

The Surf

Every Surf Week follows the conditions.

Surf locations and times are selected according to swell, wind, tide, crowds, safety and participant ability. No particular break can be guaranteed, including Lance’s Left or other boat-access waves.

Beginner sessions normally take place at Playa Amarillo or another appropriate land-access beach. Intermediate and advanced surfers may explore different breaks depending on the day’s conditions.

The goal is not simply to surf the most famous location. It is to find the safest and most suitable waves for your level and progression.

The Meals

Your full 7-day, 6-night Surf Week includes:

  • 6 breakfasts

  • 5 lunches

  • 6 dinners

  • Filtered water

  • Coffee or tea during breakfast

Meals are served at Hotel InGigante and feature a combination of fresh local ingredients, Nicaraguan favorites and familiar options.

Alcohol, specialty drinks, premium menu items and additional bar orders are not included.

Please tell us about dietary restrictions before arrival. We will do our best to accommodate reasonable requests with advance notice.

Life in Playa Gigante

Playa Gigante is a small coastal village where daily life moves at a different pace.

You can walk to the beach, explore local restaurants, watch fishing boats return to the bay or simply spend the afternoon beside the pool. The atmosphere is relaxed, friendly and connected to the ocean.

Your Surf Week includes free time so that you can enjoy the destination in your own way. Optional experiences such as yoga, massage, ice baths, horseback riding, fishing, local ranch visits, scooter rentals and day trips can be arranged separately.
