One of my top 5 hostels in the world, the location could not be better. Having a beach in your backyard with expansive views to do yoga is awesome The vibe is excellent and the staff is awesome. A great common area to socialize with others. You should not stay anywhere else in floripa but here

“10/10 nicest and most relaxing hostel I’ve ever stayed at and would come back in a heartbeat”
The property was unreal being able to get up and walk about 100 meters and jump straight into the ocean for a swim to start the day, the food provided for breakfast lunch and dinner was all unreal and all the staff couldn’t have been nicer even if they tried.

Excellent stay; if I'm ever in Floripa I'd definitely stay again! The hostel with the most going on and the most opportunities to get to know others, obtain info about the island, and basically anything you could need.

“Best hostel I’ve stayed in”
Great people and vibes. Loved the kitchen, close to the market nearby so you can enjoy preparing some nice meals if you’ve been on the road for a while. Right on the beach, with access to the beach at the back directly through the property. Loads of organized activities. Comfortable beds. Best hostel I’ve stayed in I’d say.

“Most luxurious hostel I’ve stayed at”
I booked this place because I saw it on TikTok and it was pretty much exactly like in the video. The location on the beach is incredible - I was leaving out the back door to have a swim every morning. The hostel also provides chairs and umbrellas to rent which are cheaper than the beach vendors. Sooo convenient. The hostel room itself was super nice and the bathroom was huge. Throughout the garden area there are hammocks and lots of comfortable sitting spots. The outside area is definitely the most impressive I’ve seen in a hostel.

“Really cool place. Would love to stay longer.”
It’s a really cool hostel with direct access to the beach. Lots of really cool amenities such as a ping pong table, pool, halfpipe, sun loungers, hammocks. It’s a real chilled vibe and a great way to meet people. They have activities each day to help guests mingle and get to know each other. We stayed in a private room and it was just like a hotel room.

Great location with access directly to the beach. Amazing outdoor areas. Well equipped kitchen with lots of space. Onsite restaurant good and reasonably priced. Offers activities such as surf lessons and yoga at an extra cost. The surf instructor was great!

Everything about this hostel was 5 stars. The location was perfect by the beach and less than 5min walk to restaurants/bars/shops. Super clean! The daily activities were amazing and the welcoming and friendly staff made the stay superb

I really enjoyed my stay at the hostel. The trip from the bus terminal went smoothly with the Uber. I had several pleasant days at the hostel. The staff were extremely accommodating and friendly. I met nice people and felt “at home” there. The beach is right at the hostle. What I liked most was that there was finally plenty of space, since the house is very spacious: a large dorm, a large bathroom, and an extra room for luggage. The food at the restaurant was really delicious as well. The mango tacos were my favorite.

“Good vibes hostel right on the beach. Best in Barra!”
Stayed in girls dorm. Comfy beds, and AC. Modern bathroom, cute outdoor area to hang clothes. Hostel is good, chill vibes. Met some great people, they have nightly activities and surf lessons etc. Only down side is the manager is a little too serious, the other girls are desk were much more helpful. But would def stay again, and suggest to anyone!

“Good stay but..”
Many different common areas indoors and outdoors which was nice. My dorm had a private balcony with space to hang your wet clothes and even sit down. Location was good as the hostel has a direct access to the beach and a short walk to a supermarket and restaurants. They also offer various activities (free and paid) which was good.
