Surf & Yoga

( the feeling of it )

The waves are consistent and nobody is on them. That sentence is the entire reason this place exists where it does.

( the story )

Thirteen cabañas above the surf at Cambutal, Panama, with an oceanfront yoga shala, a coaching centre for uncrowded breaks and a saltwater pool.

Sansara sits at Cambutal, on the far end of Panama's Azuero Peninsula, where the swells arrive consistently and almost nobody is out on them. Thirteen artfully built cabañas and suites step down toward the water — oceanfront suites, ocean-view and garden-view cabañas, plus Casa Almendra as a separate house. The yoga shala faces the Pacific directly. There is a surf coaching centre for people serious about improving, a wellness spa, a saltwater pool, and Nourish, the resort's restaurant, with the Buddha Bar above it. Vogue, Forbes and Condé Nast Traveller have all sent writers; it has joined Small Luxury Hotels of the World.

( plan your stay )

You go home an actually better surfer, which almost nobody manages on a surf holiday.

The swell is already here.
