What makes us unique

Our history

In the heart of the Panamanian Pacific coast, where the waves crash forcefully and the palm trees sway gently with the sea breeze, Hotel Palmar Surf Camp was born to be a cozy and serene refuge, where travelers from various parts of the world, as well as passionate surfers, can reconnect deeply with the sea and nature, enjoying outdoor activities, surf workshops, and moments of relaxation in an environment that celebrates the natural beauty of its tropical surroundings. Since 1984, our history has been marked by a passion for surfing and a love for nature.
