Eleventh on our list of all inclusive surfing resorts is The Surf Lodge.

Long Island’s Montauk lies far away from high-rises and the Hamptons. It offers a variety of surf options that are unusual for a fishing village and tourist destination.

Montauk’s rugged coastline means there are multiple reefs and points to explore along its coastline, unlike the East Coast’s shifting sand bars and temperamental beach breaks.

A rustic-styled motel with 20 rooms, The Surf Lodge was built in 1967. Its clean, modern look as well as driftwood sculptures make it a great place to stay.

The Surf Lodge bar boasts an eclectic collection of surfboards that adds to the relaxed atmosphere.

In the late 1960s, Tofino became an internationally known surfing destination, and the laid-back atmosphere is still present today.

Thirteenth on our list of all inclusive surfing resorts is Olas Verdes in Costa Rica.

Surfers who like a relaxed vibe and warm-water waves have made Costa Rica their favorite destination.

A small town with a wide white-sand beach is located in northwestern Costa Rica.

A typical beach break can be found here in the mornings.

There are numerous reforestation projects in the surrounding area, and the Olas Verdes hotel is part of one of them.

27. Two Brothers Surf Resort, Popoyo, Nicaragua

Fourteenth on our list of all inclusive surfing resorts is Two Brothers Surf Resort in Nicaragua.

Lago Nicaragua is between Popoyo and the Pacific Ocean, and it is a small beach town that sits on a peninsula. 

In Popoya, winds blow off-shore all year due to the lake and the temperature gradients it creates. 

It’s a tropical place with warm-water surf (surf with dolphins), making it the perfect destination for warm-water surfing.

Accomodations

On a mountain top overlooking the surrounding coastline, the Two Brothers Surf Resort is named for owner Robert Gregory’s two sons. 

From Two Brothers, you can walk to the beach in ten minutes, but the higher elevation means cooler air, commanding views, and fewer mosquitoes. 

Two Brothers guides know the area inside and out, and there are a number of breaks that can accommodate just about any skill level. 

A chef will keep your stomach full at Two Brothers, along with renting boards.

The rates and how to get there

Approximately two hours by car separates Managua airport from Two Brothers. 

There are no road signs in Nicaragua, so you might find more adventures than you expected if you decide to drive yourself. 

A villa at Two Brothers starts at $100 per night. 

Starting at $1,099 for four nights, guests can enjoy meals, boat rides, and airport transfers. 

28. Hotel Cinco Punta de Mita, Mexico

Last but not least on our list of all inclusive surfing resorts is Hotel Cinco Punta de Mita near Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

There are three sides to Punta de Mita’s coastline and three sides to the Pacific in Mexico. 

Because the Punta de Mita surf is typically smaller than that on Mexico’s mainland, it’s a great destination for longboarders looking for mellow waves

There are two swell angles that miss the breaks of the area thanks to Baja Sur and Cabo Corrientes. 

I would recommend betting between April and October, or between December and March.

Accomodations

There are two- and three-bedroom suites in the four-story Hotel Cinco, which is located on the beach at El Anclote. 

Most rooms feature ocean views and kitchens. 

The main ingredients at Tuna Blanca Restaurant are freshly caught fish and locally grown produce.
