About

Rapture Surfcamps brings their international surf camp expertise to Playa Avellanas, just 20 minutes from Tamarindo. Their fully renovated facility features modern rooms, an inviting pool, full bar, and lush tropical gardens—all a 10-minute walk through mangrove forest to excellent waves for every skill level.

The Rapture experience balances quality surf instruction with resort-level comfort. Freshly renovated rooms feature large windows, air conditioning, and tasteful decor, ranging from social 6-bed bunk rooms to private doubles with balconies for couples. The spacious common areas include indoor lounges and outdoor patios opening onto tropical gardens. Surfing takes center stage with lessons for all levels, weekly surf theory classes, and video analysis to accelerate progression. The local breaks at Playa Avellanas meet all skill levels, while legendary spots like Playa Grande, Playa Langosta, and Playa Negra (featured in Endless Summer II) are just minutes away. Daily yoga sessions on the pool deck add balance to active surf days. Beyond the waves, Rapture caters to the modern traveler with blazing-fast internet for remote workers, a fully equipped gym, and recovery facilities. The full bar mixes refreshing drinks throughout the day, and camp chefs prepare delicious meals using fresh, locally-sourced ingredients. For those craving nightlife, shuttles run to Tamarindo's bars and clubs—no worries about driving after a few drinks.
