THE INSPIRATION BEHIND THE NAME

What does Lamangata mean?

Our boutique luxury resort is named after the Swedish word “Mångata,” which describes the roadlike reflection of the moonlight on the water at night. By combining the uniquely descriptive Swedish word “Mångata” with the Spanish word “La”, meaning “the”, this poetic word captures the ethereal and serene atmosphere we strive to provide for our guests, where nature and tranquility come together to create a sense of calm and relaxation.

We believe that the beauty of the natural world and surfing, can inspire us to slow down, appreciate the present moment, and reconnect with ourselves and others. At our resort, we invite you to immerse yourself in the soothing ambiance of Lamangata and experience the magic of nature.
