The Swell Experience
Swell is a Surf & Lifestyle Hotel - with a laidback spirit; located on the beautiful and untouched volcanic black-sand beach of El Paredon, Guatemala.
Swell offers a rustic, yet elegant and cozy barefoot boho-chic atmosphere for travellers to gather, kick back and share in our small piece of paradise.
El Paredon's reputation as a surf destination is growing — and for good reason. With uncrowded waves, a vibrant local community, and a slower pace of life; it's the perfect place to surf, unwind, and reconnect. Whether you're catching your first wave, deepening your yoga practice in our open-air shala, or simply enjoying the rhythm of the coast, we're confident you'll fall in love with El Paredón.
Swell has seventeen guest rooms tucked away amongst tropical gardens, a barefoot walk from the sand
