Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Great location, away from the busyness of Moro but close enough with a taxi boat or ferry to explore the island. Good communication throughout the booking process and host very helpful with information on tours and extra activities. Also assisted with transfers from Salvador Marítimo. Additional thoughtful inclusions - tea, coffee, massage (additional cost), complimentary use of SUP and kayak.

    This hostel is exceptionally beautiful. Don’t hesitate one minute to book this place. The common areas are lovely, with an ocean view, a pool and more. There are lovely little details everywhere. Breakfast varies every morning and is freshly prepared for you the moment you sit down. And more importantly it is served with love. Lilly and Noella make sure you are 100% comfortable. The wifi worked perfectly fine.
