There is no better way to recharge your batteries than a good dose of sun, surf and sand. Add a few creature comforts like a cocktail in the pool, or a traditional Salvadoran breakfast, and you know you’ve found the groove at Casa Tortuga. Located on no-bank beachfront at Playa Dorada, Casa Tortuga is the getaway you’ve been dreaming about: it is a beautifully maintained property with Spanish-style architecture and manicured landscapes. The four bedroom, three bathroom house includes a pool that overlooks the beach, a large covered lanai, and an inviting courtyard to gather, lounge and dine. Casa Tortuga is surrounded by lush grounds and winding pathways that beckon for a stroll. Read more about Casa Tortuga and see what our other guests had to say.

If you want to witness sea turtles (Tortugas) laying eggs and baby sea turtles running to the ocean, Casa Tortuga is the place to do it. We have founded VivaTortuga.org (Turtle incubation facility) and from May to December sea turtle nesting & hatching occurs just steps from the house. See House Information tab for details.

Alex, our property manager, is a perfect example of the friendly and welcoming nature of the people of El Salvador. He is fluent in English, extremely knowledgable about the area, and also happens to be the 2007 El Salvadoran long-board champion. He can bring surf boards for your use and offers surfing lessons on the waves in front of the house or can guide you to the best breaks along El Salvador’s coast.
