The cabins are just a short walk from the beach (30 meters across a road), in front of the Punta, one of the best waves in Ecuador to learn to surf or improve and enjoy your surfing!

El Balsa nació del encuentro amoroso entre César "Rasty" Moreira, ecuatoriano de mil facetas, shaper, soul surfer, carpintero, artista, pero también agricultor y fanático de los VW. Con la francesa Julie "Yuyu" Daumas, profesora de idiomas, literatura y civilización francesa, pintora y apasionada de la danza, el diseño, el arte y las espiritualidades ancestrales.
The adventure began 18 years ago from a dream shared under the coastal sun. Step by step, Rasty & Julie and their amazing team, built the Balsa Surf Camp from scratch, pouring love and dedication into every single corner. It wasn’t a journey made alone; it was a beautiful collective effort brought to life with the help of family, friends, artists, and local carpenters. Together, they selected sustainable materials, painted murals, and hand-carved details, creating a unique place with a magical atmosphere where the ocean breeze meets true community.
Today, that same passion lives on, welcoming travelers into a space that feels less like a hotel and more like a home.
