The Experience

A point break out front. A garden pool out back.

Tres Palmas sits on the sand at La Punta, Montañita's well known point break, in a private fenced yard five minutes from town. Rooms are air-conditioned with hot water, fast WiFi, and a private bathroom, with an outdoor shower for rinsing off after a session.

The property also runs a beachfront bar and restaurant, a garden lounge with pool and jacuzzi, an on-site surf shop, and ocean-view workspaces, all inside gated private parking.

Surf

La Punta's point break, right out front.

The wave breaks straight off the property, with real currents even when the ocean looks calm. Ask the team about safe swim zones, or use the garden pool instead. Board rentals and surf lessons run on site for an extra fee.

Field Notes

Point break out front.
Pool out back.
Quiet after ten.

The wave breaks directly in front of the property. Currents run strong even when the water looks calm, so ask the team about safe swim zones or stick to the garden pool.

Board rentals and surf lessons happen on site, run by the Tres Palmas crew, for an extra fee.

Quiet hours run 10pm to 8am, kept for the families and remote workers sharing the property.

Parking is gated and private, useful for the drive down from Quito or Guayaquil.

Point roll

The quiet parts are part of the trip.

A few frames from the edges of the day: the lessons, the pool at night, the bar, the shop, and the small rhythm of La Punta between surf sessions.
