Panama Beach Lodge

Wake up to the rhythm of the pacific and discover this little surf town most travellers miss. Located just 90 minutes from Panama city, but a world away from the hustle, Panama beach lodge is your home-away-from-home in El Palmar. Whether you’re here to catch your first wave, find a peaceful corner to work, or simply reconnect with nature, our lodge offers the perfect blend of adventure and slow living.

Why travelers love the lodge:

🌊 Location is everything – We are situated just 20 steps from the sand. You can check the surf conditions from your doorstep and fall asleep to the sound of crashing waves every single night.

🏄 Surf & progress – Home to Popote's surf academy, we are the premier spot for surf progression. El Palmar offers consistent, beginner-friendly waves year-round (stronger swells in winter for more advanced surfers), and our instructors are here to help you catch your first wave.

🧘 Active & social – Our garden is the soul of the lodge. We provide yoga mats and gym equipment for your daily workout on the grass. While we are a social community of like-minded souls, please note we are not a party hostel; we value a restful environment for all our guests.
