Is El Salvador Safe? A 2025 Guide for Solo Travelers
Let’s talk about one of the most beautiful, underrated destinations for adventurous souls in 2025: El Salvador.
I had the chance to travel there from March 28 to April 1, and I’m so glad I did. After a 7-hour flight from San Diego, I landed at El Salvador’s international airport with curiosity and a little bit of caution—after all, solo travel always carries a few unknowns. But from the moment I arrived, everything felt smooth and welcoming.
One thing that really put me at ease? My driver was tracking my flight in real-time, waiting right on schedule with a warm smile. No guesswork, no confusion—just an easy, comfortable transition from airport to adventure.
We drove about two hours to Mizata, a hidden gem on the coast that’s home to the breathtaking Antiresort. Picture this: luxury bungalows, open-air showers, and the sound of the Pacific lulling you to sleep. Waking up by the ocean each morning felt like pressing the reset button on my whole life.
And here’s the truth about safety in El Salvador: Yes, it’s safe to travel—especially when you do it intentionally. Like any destination, it’s smart to stay aware of your surroundings, avoid wandering alone late at night, and stick to well-traveled areas. But everywhere I went—from waterfalls to volcanic trails to charming local spots—I felt comfortable and welcomed. The locals were friendly, the food was fresh and affordable, and the scenery? Absolutely magical.
If you’re still on the fence, there are small things you can do to feel even more secure—like packing a portable door stopper (I brought one but never even needed it). What really made the difference, though, was the environment itself. The resort was peaceful, secure, and thoughtfully staffed.
So, why not experience El Salvador in the most supportive way possible?
