Another perfect wave at Pavones

Another perfect wave at Pavones

Pavones is among the top two longest left breaking waves in the world. Not only is the wave long, but on most occasions the shelter provided by the Golfo Dulce makes for very nice enjoyable rides. In the winter months through early spring, The swells are smaller but perfect coupled with weeks on end of South Pacific sunshine. This is a great time for people to learn to surf and a time for more experienced surfers to really enjoy some perfect rides through paradise. By the end of the green season in summer, the swells pick up and the surf becomes world class in terms of size and character. Pavones has long been a haven for professionals as well as some fortunate beginners. The combination of a South Pacific current originating in Easter Island, a very deep entrance to the Golfo Dulce, and a sizeable coral reef in front of Pavones make for the perfect ingreedients to create a world class surfing destination.

The Golfo Dulce combined with tropical mountainous terrain, provides our region with the finest seafood and crops found anywhere in Costa Rica. The fresh food we serve in the Blue Morpho Lounge atop the Castillo, is of the finest quality. We select the finest regional produce and prepare local fish including Dorado (mahi-mahi) and Yellowfin Tuna which are both common in South Pacific waters and especially plentiful in our area of Costa Rica. We want you to enjoy the best Pavones has to offer while staying at the Castillo de Pavones. The Blue Morpho provides full room service for those occasions that you just want to take in the view from the privacy of your suite.
