📍 Playa El Estero, Santa Catalina, Veraguas, Santa Catalina · Show on map
Oasis Surf Camp is the only accommodation set directly on the beach at Playa El Estero, Santa Catalina’s main surf beach. This relaxed beachfront hotel and surf camp is a firm favourite of wave-seekers, with the break just steps from the rooms and the tidal estuary crossing that separates the beach from the village. Waking up to the sound of the surf and walking straight onto the sand is exactly the appeal for the travellers who choose to base themselves here rather than up in the village.
The property offers comfortable private rooms with air conditioning and hot water, a saltwater swimming pool, a surf bar and an on-site restaurant serving Italian dishes, seafood and vegetarian-friendly options. Surfboard rental and lessons make it easy for beginners and improvers alike to get into the water, while the beachfront bar and pool give non-surfers a relaxed place to spend the day watching the waves and the surfers riding them.
- Beachfront rooms with air conditioning and hot water
- Saltwater pool, surf bar and on-site restaurant
- Surfboard rental, lessons and a tour desk for excursions
A tour desk can arrange Coiba National Park excursions, fishing, snorkelling, kayaking and horseback riding, making Oasis a convenient, laid-back base for a Santa Catalina beach holiday. It suits surfers of all levels, couples and small groups who want the beach on their doorstep. As a practical note, the estuary between the beach and the village is tidal, so it is worth checking the tide times when planning walks into town for meals or supplies, and Santa Catalina as a whole rewards travellers who arrive relaxed, unhurried and ready for its off-grid, small-village pace.
