Surf tourism is on the rise—here are the best places to ride the waves

Lamangata Luxury Surf Resort Featured in Vogue‘s Global Surf Travel Roundup

Lamangata Luxury Surf Resort has been spotlighted in Vogue as one of the world’s best destinations for travelers looking to learn—or level up—their surfing skills.

In a feature exploring the global rise of surf tourism and the growing appeal of active, wellness-driven travel, Vogue highlights Lamangata as a standout for its expert-led instruction, access to multiple consistent breaks, and refreshingly uncrowded vibe. Located on Costa Rica’s southern Pacific coast, the resort sits within 15 minutes of four different beach breaks, allowing coaches to tailor each session to ocean conditions and individual skill levels.

As Vogue notes, “The southern Pacific coast of Costa Rica is truly an underrated surf gem,” says Junior “Chagüe” Vargas Salazar, head surf instructor at Lamangata. “It’s one of the few regions in the country that offers consistent waves year-round, making it a dream for surfers of all levels.”

With low-key local energy, flexible coaching, and year-round swell, Lamangata offers a more personalized and authentic surf experience in one of the world’s most biodiverse coastal zones.
