Where To Stay In Tumbes
Along with the Department of Piura, Tumbes is Peru's main northern beach destination, boasting warm seas, white sand, great seafood ... and a laid-back atmosphere.
Accordingly, the properties here cater to sun-lovers and water sports enthusiasts.
We have chosen an eclectic range, from the all-inclusive Decameron resort, to the more rustic and homely Posada de los Tumpis.
Beach resort 40 minutes' drive from Tumbes airport.
73 rooms in bungalows set around an extensive pool.
The pool is one focal point of the hotel.
Another focal point of course is the Pacific Ocean beach.
Amenities include a Gym, Sauna & WiFi.

Beach resort 40 minutes drive from Tumbes airport
Los Tumpis is a boutique beachside hotel, with just 7 bedrooms.
The posada is located on Bocapan beach, which is a 40-minute drive from Tumbes Airport, between Punta Sal & Zorritos.
There is a small indoor bar, with outdoor terrace, serving beers, wines & cocktails such as Pisco sours.
Guests at Los Tumpis can walk directly from the hotel onto the deserted Pacific beach.
For those who wish for a wave-free swim, the hotel has its own pool.
At night, the seats around the lit-up pool make an atmospheric place to eat, drink … or just star gaze.
The word Tumpi is thought to be the name the Spanish gave to the locals they met when first arriving in the Tumbes region.
All rooms have A/C, a fan, safe & TV. One suite has its own whirlpool bath.
Outside each room is a hammock, ideal for getting into the Pacific beach vibe.
The decor at the Posada has a simple, maritime theme, inspired by the Pacific Ocean surroundings.
The Posada can arrange trips to local attractions, such as Cerros de Amotape National Park, Hervideros Mud Baths and mangrove swamps.
A massage - overlooking the beach and Pacific Ocean - can be arranged.
Posada de los Tumpis has two restaurants: one indoor and one outdoor. Both serve great seafood.
The star of the show when staying at Posada de los Tumpis has to be the beach and ocean!
