Surf Resorts & Camps For Sale
Turnkey surf resorts, boutique camps and hospitality businesses in front of world-class waves. These income-producing properties pair real estate with an operating business — guest rooms, boards, and a lineup at the doorstep. From boat-access camps in the Mentawais to beachfront resorts in Costa Rica and Nicaragua, surf hospitality is a lifestyle business with real fundamentals: surf tourism keeps growing, and guests return season after season for the wave out front. Listings on International Surf Properties typically include the property, the brand and the forward bookings — so you can step into a running operation rather than build one from scratch.
Frequently asked questions
What is included when I buy a surf resort or camp?
Most listings are sold as going concerns: the land and buildings plus the operating business — brand, website, booking pipeline, equipment (boards, boats, vehicles) and often trained staff. Confirm exactly what conveys in each listing by contacting the owner or listing agent directly; every listing links to them.
How do I evaluate a surf resort's income?
Ask for two to three years of occupancy figures, nightly and package rates, and operating costs, then weigh them against the destination's surf seasons — a camp in front of a wave that fires eight months a year books very differently from a two-month window. Factor in the quality and consistency of the wave itself; it is the asset guests are really paying for.
Can foreigners own a resort business abroad?
In most surf destinations, yes — typically through a local company structure or long-term lease, depending on the country. Indonesia, Fiji and the Philippines each have their own foreign-investment rules. A local attorney experienced in hospitality transactions will structure ownership correctly before you commit.
Do I need to run the resort myself?
No — many buyers keep the existing manager or hire an operator and treat the resort as an income property with surf trips built in. Others move on-site and run it as an owner-operator lifestyle business. Clarify with the seller whether current management would stay on after the sale.
