Just Surf in Santa Catalina

This is the ultimate surf escape for those who want freedom, waves, and a taste of Panama’s vibrant culture. Your adventure begins in Casco Viejo, the beautifully restored colonial quarter of Panama City, where you’ll spend two nights at the elegant Hotel Central. Explore historic streets, enjoy rooftop views over the Pacific, and indulge in a 3-course dinner at Casablanca Restaurant, complete with a glass of wine or beer. It’s the perfect way to unwind before the surf sessions begin.

From the city, you’ll transfer – surfboards welcome – to the legendary breaks of Santa Catalina, Panama’s undisputed surf capital. Known for its consistent swell, warm water, and uncrowded waves, Santa Catalina is a dream for experienced surfers looking to ride point and reef breaks without the crowds. Your base for the next week is the tropical-chic Hotel Villa Coco, a relaxed surf lodge with a pool, garden setting, and just minutes from the line-up. With half board included, you’ll enjoy daily breakfasts and dinners that refuel you for long sessions in the water.

This is a Just Surf package – no lessons, no schedules, just pure surf freedom. Bring your own board, chase the tides, and surf as much (or as little) as you want. From Main Point’s long, powerful rights to mellow beach breaks ideal for warm-up sessions, the variety around Santa Catalina lets you tailor each day to the conditions and your surf style. Between sessions, relax by the pool, explore the surrounding coastline, or hop on a boat trip to remote surf spots and snorkelling sites.

After a week of salty hair, surf-soaked days, and good food, you’ll return to Panama City for one final night in Casco Viejo – giving you time to soak in the culture and energy before heading home.

With OCEAN FEVER’s Just Surf Santa Catalina package, it’s simple: bring your board, ride world-class waves, and let us handle the rest. Pure surfing, Panama-style.
