Swell Guatemala

A few steps from el Paredon's black volcanic sand beach, Swell offers a laidback, refined escape for surfers, creatives, and travelers chasing slow, salty days. It's a surf and lifestyle hotel where design meets comfort, and community is part of the experience - without ever feeling forced.

With its breezy pool area, open-air communal spaces, and minimalist architecture that lets the ocean breeze do the talking, Swell has long been one of the town's most beloved stays. Mornings might start with yoga or an early surf, while afternoons melt into golden-hour drinks, books by the pool, or new friendships forged over delicious, healthy menus.

Recently impacted by the fire that swept through part of El Paredón, Swell is now in a quiet phase of rebuilding. But it hasn't lost its soul - nor its spark. The team continues to welcome guests with the same warmth, creativity, and attention to detail as always. Staying here is more than just booking a room - it's supporting a resilient local business that's rebuilding with heart, vision, and gratitude.

The on-site restaurant is open daily from 7am to 10pm, serving up vibrant, nourishing plates inspired by the sea and the seasons. Whether you're here for a few nights or just passing through, Swell invites you to slow down, tune in, and feel part of something.
