NATURE LOVER'S OCEANFRONT WILDLIFE SANCTUARY

A small sun deck with lazy chairs are great for enjoying the sun and if you wish some quiet time in the shade go to the cool corridor in front of the bedrooms or the dining or living room areas. Most of the main construction is made out of local material such as the palm thatched roofs, the wooden beams and clay tiles. We want the buildings to blend in with nature and also give the guests and opportunity to experience the luxury of the hand made palm thatched roofs that are beautiful to see and give a particular coolness a regular roof never can provide.

The dining room area has a long wooden family table that seats 12 and the other living room area has two smaller tables seating 4 each. The kitchen has basic kitchen ware and eating utensils for 12 persons. A small outdoor barbecue is an option for grilling fresh seafood.

Each room has its own private bathroom with toilet, sink and shower. The water is not heated but maintain lukewarm throughout the year. All the rooms have A/C and one single bed and double bed while the master bedroom has one single bed and a queen bed plus a larger bath. The corridor located in front of all the room is great for relaxing and enjoying the view. The property is spacious (total 3300 square meters of which 300 is constructed) and there is plenty of space to move around, enjoy ball games and the children can play in sand in the shade of coconut palms. The ecological style of our property means we strive to provide a simple but well kept and clean place where we emphasize the visitor should enjoy nature and the beautiful surroundings thus we have no TV in the rooms, just in the living room area and there is no pool as the beach is just some meters away as well as the estuary. The amazing sunsets and starry skies as night you experience here serves as entertainment as no other.

If you wish to explore the mangrove forest, the estuary and the tip of the peninsula by boat, Julio Cesar one of the best guides in the village can pick you up from the property for a tailor made tour. Lush mangroves with the amazing wildlife, bird watching, the archaeological site “El Cajete” (950 A.D.), sailing up river to see the crocodiles that laze on the river beds, watching the local fishermen throw their nets from dug out canoes or have a cool drink while swimming in the calm waters by La Bocana are all part of this experience. Surf is great at Barra de Santiago and the waves are suited for both beginners and advanced surfers. We can provide surf instructors and surf boards. Barra de Santiago is one of the best turtle beaches in El Salvador and during the season (June to December) ocean turtles nest their eggs at night. Some of these eggs are brought to local turtle farms managed by local nature conservation organizations and released back into the ocean when hatched. If you wish to participate in the turtle nesting or releasing, this can be arranged. The largest National Park in El Salvador “El Imposible” is just one hour away by car and provides guided tours with park rangers. Another area worth visiting is Ruta de Las Flores which is string of quaint coffee producing villages along the volcanic mountain chain where you can purchase arts and crafts and get a cup of great coffee and enjoy the cool mountain air. Another close destination is the Los Cobanos beach where you find the only white sand beach in El Salvador. The property is perfect to use as a base while visiting interesting places in Western El Salvador but is also great for just relaxing. If you need transportation to and from the International Airport or within El Salvador contact owner for arranging this.
