A private journey to Guatemala’s Pacific coast, with the opportunity to witness sea turtles along its black sand beaches.
Overview
This special journey invites guests to discover Guatemala’s Pacific coast — famed for its dramatic black sand beaches, serene seaside atmosphere, and natural rhythms that define the region. Designed for travelers seeking an escape beyond the ordinary, this experience offers time to relax, explore, and connect to the coast’s coastal beauty and conservation legacy.
The journey begins with private transportation from Guatemala City, followed by a scenic drive through highlands and coastal plains to arrive in Monterrico. Here, guests are welcomed to their ocean-facing accommodations, where they can enjoy the hotel’s fine pool, relaxed atmosphere, and panoramic Pacific views.
Included in this experience is a one-night stay at a premium beachfront hotel, where comfort and seaside immersion are paramount. Time is reserved for beach walks, optional local activities, and (during the relevant season) opportunities to witness or participate in sea turtle conservation and hatchling releases — a remarkable natural phenomenon occurring along Monterrico’s shores between September through January.
This is an experience built around slow moments, peaceful landscapes, and the rare chance to connect with one of Guatemala’s most evocative coastal communities.
