Balsa Surf Camp is a unique inn in the quiet side of Montañita. This is an oasis of peace with a luxurious garden and typical Ecuadorian cabins made of wood and bamboo.

Julie and Rasty, the creators, welcome you to share their passions for surf, yoga and nature.

We have 13 private rooms from 2 people to 6 maximum and one particularly unusual : our famous combi VW in the top of a cabin as a room ! We offer surf rental and lessons with Balsa wood boards made by Rasty. And also, daily yoga classes in a wonderful open yoga studio where you can also meditate, do stretching, Taï to chi, Acro to yoga etc…

We will welcome you for three meals a day in our restaurant The Eden with a large choice of sea food, fusion of French and Ecuadorian and a lot more!
