Whether you’re an adventure seeker craving high-energy outdoor experiences or someone who prefers unwinding on the beach with a refreshing drink and a good book, Yelapa has something perfect for everyone.

Playa Isabel is just a one-minute walk from El Jardin, always ready for a refreshing swim. The snorkeling right in front of our property is simply amazing! If you’re in the mood for kayaking, surfing, we have kayaks and SUPs available for you to explore the coast at your own pace.

For a more social experience, take a leisurely half-mile stroll along the scenic footpath through the charming pueblo to reach the main beach.

The main beach is a delightful spot, lined with several welcoming restaurants. They’ll be happy to serve you a cool drink and a plate of crispy nachos with fresh, homemade guacamole—perfect for relaxing by the water!

Yelapa is not just a charming fishing village—it’s also home to a vibrant art community. You’ll find a few galleries to explore, and if you ask around, many local artists will be delighted to share their work with you.

Calling all fishing enthusiasts! We can arrange half-day or full-day fishing trips tailored to your preferences. If you’d rather explore, our boat excursions let you discover the stunning surroundings—including the famous Marietas Islands, home to unique bird species like the blue-footed booby, found only here and in the Galápagos. Whale watching tours are also available, or simply cruise along the coast to hidden beaches for a peaceful escape.

For hiking enthusiasts, Yelapa offers endless opportunities to explore the breathtaking countryside. Start with a leisurely stroll through town and a short walk upriver, just south of the pueblo, where you’ll find the base of a magnificent 200-foot waterfall. Depending on the season, the falls cascade into a large, shallow pool—a perfect spot for a refreshing dip or a classic Yelapa photo op beneath the rushing water. After your adventure, unwind at the charming restaurant and bar at the base of the falls, where you can savor a margarita and fresh nachos with guacamole while soaking in the stunning scenery.

For those looking for a more adventurous hike with a breathtaking reward, there’s the hour-and-a-half trek up the river to the “big waterfall”. Be sure to set aside a full day for the round-trip hike—it’s absolutely worth including in your visit! The surrounding area also offers plenty of other hiking opportunities.

For the truly adventurous, parasailing behind a boat or paragliding off the mountaintop might be more your style.

After a day spent in paradise, unwind with a holistic massage therapy from Llanett—all while gazing at the dazzling ocean beneath swaying coconut palms.
