Four Days in Paradise: The Antiresort Mizata

Tucked away on the wild Pacific coast of El Salvador, The Antiresort Mizata is where the jungle meets the sea in the most seamless way imaginable. About 90 minutes from San Salvador, this hidden gem feels like a world of its own: untouched, lush, and deeply connected to nature.

Here, the jungle doesn’t just surround you, it embraces you. Towering palms sway above handcrafted treehouses that blend perfectly into the landscape, as if they’ve always belonged there. Each treehouse feels like a natural extension of the forest, with open-air designs that let in the soft ocean breeze and the sounds of tropical life.

If you prefer a different kind of retreat, beautiful bungalows also available each one offering its own unique charm and intimacy. One standout is the Nawi Beachhouse, where you’ll be spoiled every day with delicious local cuisine, barefoot luxury, and the endless rhythm of the waves just steps away.

Days at Mizata can be as active or as relaxing as you wish. From sunrise to sunset, surfers hit the waves, whether you’re a beginner taking lessons with a surf coach or an experienced rider chasing the perfect break, this is your playground. For a change of pace, saddle up for horseback riding along the beach, feeling the ocean spray as you gallop beside the surf.

Adventure seekers can explore majestic volcanoes and hidden waterfalls on guided excursions through El Salvador’s incredible landscapes. And when it’s time to unwind, the hotel’s spa offers a range of wellness treatments designed to reconnect body and mind, the perfect way to end a day in paradise.

So what does a day here look like?

At 6 a.m., it’s just you and the ocean at sunrise: peaceful, golden, and pure.
At 7 a.m., join a yoga session as the first light filters through the palm trees.
By 8 a.m., enjoy a fresh and nourishing breakfast at Nawi Beachhouse.
At 10 a.m., grab your surfboard and hit the waves.

Later, treat yourself to a relaxing massage, or if you’re still full of energy, head to the outdoor gym for a workout surrounded by nature. Your day ends with a spectacular sunset on the beach, a fiery sky melting into the Pacific.

Feeling tempted yet? The Anti Resort – Mizata isn’t just a place to stay — it’s a way to reconnect with nature, simplicity, and yourself.
