San Bartolo is one of Peru’s most important and traditional surf towns, together with Punta Hermosa. Located 45 km south of Lima, this cozy, picturesque resort is a veritable paradise for surfers, fishermen, snorkelers or lovers of seaside living. The Achikiay Surf Resort & Spa is situated at the heart of the main beach. In fact, it is located so strategically that from your room you will be able to hear the waves building, identify the direction the wind is blowing or watch an unbelievable sunset.

The staff of the Achikiay Surf Resort & Spa will handle your needs and help you to make your most difficult decisions. Our experienced personnel will immediately help you settle any doubts about what beach to choose, what surf board to use, what wetsuit to don or what tides and winds are best for surfing, so that you can make the most of your stay.

The waves vary considerably in San Bartolo and its surroundings (in a radius of no more than 10 km), from Pico Alto to Punta Rocas, through La Isla, Señoritas, Caballeros, El Peñascal, the San Bartolo wharfs, El Huayco, etc. Do you want right or left hand waves? Sand bottom waves? Just ask and we will take you immediately to the indicated spot by van in comfort and safety. We’ll also be glad to help if you want to do a little shopping afterwards for your family or friends or have some banking business or travel agency matters to deal with, or merely want to take a ride or do some sight-seeing.

We know that what you want most is to surf great waves for as long as possible and for that reason offer a menu containing healthy, nutritious, energy-building dishes that are inexpensive. At the same time, we also know that after an excellent surfing session (and you’ll have more than one), you’ll want to celebrate with a very special evening meal. Achikiay Surf Resort & Spa offers a large menu of local, international and fusion dishes. Your food choice will be almost as hard as picking out the beach where you will have the most fun.

If you want your body to meet the demands of an intense day of surfing, snorkeling or other nautical activities, you must treat it as it deserves. Relaxation disciplines and corporal therapies like Yoga and Tai-chi will best meet the needs of both body and mind. Our staff is trained to hold sessions tailored to your needs in a natural setting that will contribute to your wellbeing.

What more can you want than to travel light and have a whole quiver of surfboards for all possible conditions awaiting you on your arrival? To have them be less expensive than at home? Peru’s surfboards are known worldwide for their quality and excellent price. Forget about carrying heavy equipment and having to pay for excess baggage and even more so about doubting whether it will be appropriate for conditions at your destination.

It is unforgivable for a surfer, snorkeler or fisherman not to have visited Peru and even more so to have visited Peru only to surf or practice other nautical activities. Cuzco and Macchu Picchu, Iquitos and the Amazon jungle, Arequipa and its Colca Canyon, Puno and Lake Titicaca, the North and its heavenly beaches, Caral, the Lord of Sipan, and Huaca de la Luna are just some of the better known sites, whose variety is as large as the smile you will have on your face throughout your stay with us.
