Rancho Itauna

After researching countless places without knowing the area, I hit the jackpot with Rancho Itauna. This beachfront gem exceeded all my expectations!

The rooms were comfortable with good AC and daily cleaning (a real treat). Each morning started with deliciously fresh breakfast before heading straight to the beach just steps away.

The Brazilian restaurant on-site was a highlight - incredible food and drinks with ocean views created perfect evening moments. Through their package, I took surf lessons with Palo, who amazingly had me standing and turning on waves by day two!

What makes this place special is the atmosphere. The staff clearly loves being there, creating a wonderfully relaxed yet attentive vibe. Don't miss Tuesday nights with DJs, lights and fire dancers drawing people from all around.

I've traveled extensively but Rancho Itauna has become one of my favorite places ever. I'm already planning my return next year - something I rarely do as I usually prefer exploring new destinations. If you're on the fence about booking, I can't recommend it highly enough!

We had a great experience at Ranchos Itauna! The staff is very welcoming and loving. We really enjoyed our surf lessons, the instructor was very professional and patient and we feel that we made quick progress. The location is great, surrounded by a lot of restaurants, shops and bars (no need to rent a car) and the bar/restaurant on the beach is an absolute must for chill afternoons and dinner/drinks during sunsets. Ranchos Itauna works perfectly for families, couples and friends holidays. Highly recommended!
