Description
Hi! Welcome to our little piece of Paradise, where Yoga and Surf are a daily business!
We are strong believers that here you'll find a family and friendships that will last a lifetime. Our hostel is a place where you'll enjoy the company of travelers and other volunteers from all over the world! Our big choice of surfboards, our daily yoga classes, and our incredible atmosphere will make you want to stay with us forever. We want to create memories and moments that'll make you say ''Here is where I belong!''
