Vistamar offers a vacation experience that is tailored exactly to your desires from private surf lessons and surf trips to local breaks, to small personalized yoga classes at the hour of your choosing, to personalized exquisite dining options, to a dozen tour options including cultural immersions and adventures. We offer these unique experiences coupled with comfortable and beautiful lodging. Expect hot water, fast wifi, daily cleaning service, extra comfy bedding and mattresses, epic views from the bed, desks and lounge areas, ocean breeze and A/C options, and an attention to detail from guest relations to impeccable maintenance of the facilities.
Enjoy the scenic view of the ocean and jungle from the balcony space to the beds. Come and experience the natural, rustic beauty of Ayampe in complete comfort!
Vistamar boasts ocean views from all the beds, a fully stocked covered outdoor kitchen, an open loft with ocean and jungle views that is outfitted with hammocks and a desk, and lots of furnished balcony space.
All the rooms boast comfortable, new furnishings, hot water, fast Wi-Fi (~50mbps+), daily cleaning service and a fine attention to detail. The rooms on the first floor have A/C and the rooms on the second floor are ocean breeze fresh.
We like to tailor each experience to the speed and desires of each of our guests. If you want to focus your trip on surfing, yoga or adventures or a balance of the both will be up to you. The balanced approach looks something like this:
Start the day with a light hike through one of our several wilderness areas that surround Ayampe followed by a delicious breakfast. Then an up tempo yoga practice followed by leisure time/time to explore the pueblo of Ayampe till lunch. For the afternoon; a siesta followed by a yin yoga practice or a surf class, free surf, bike ride, hike, scramble, swim, cooking class or simply relaxing in the hammock. Then top off the evening (with a cocktail) relaxing on the third floor deck watching the sun set over the islands. On any given day, we are also happy to make a full day, or half day excursion happen for you such as a boat trip to the Isla de la Plata, a horseback adventure through the peaks of the mountains in Rio Blanca, fishing, snorkeling, exploring hidden coves, check out an archeological site and springs, take bike rides, and much more.
We want this to be your trip, so in the end this itinerary is just a suggestion. You could have double surf lessons every day, or no surfing at all, or anything in between!
As mentioned above, we like to be flexible and let weather and natural conditions ultimately predict what activities are best suited day to day.
