About El Sunzal

El Sunzal sits just west of El Tunco and offers a more relaxed, upscale counterpoint - a long, forgiving right-hand point break beloved by intermediate surfers, fronting hillsides dotted with oceanview homes, boutique resorts and gated communities. It trades El Tunco's party intensity for tranquility, privacy and bigger lots, making it the coast's choice for second-home and lifestyle buyers. Real estate here skews to higher-value product: oceanview houses list around $755,000, with private country-club and estate offerings near $669,000 and condos targeting the upper end. Hillside parcels often sit beyond the 100-metre coastal line, allowing direct foreign ownership, while beachfront uses corporate/trust title. Strong premium-STR demand and the Surf City infrastructure program support yields near 8% and steady double-digit appreciation, positioning El Sunzal as the corridor's blue-chip residential address.
