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 among lush tropical gardens and refreshing pools — made for bare feet and slow days.
