Backpackers brave enough to make the steep climb are rewarded with unobstructed 360-degree jungle views, with the ocean and the nearby city of Santa Marta visible in the distance. A range of accommodation options from tents to private cabins are offered, but my personal recommendation is the simple hammock and mosquito net under the stars &#8211; as long as you don\u2019t mind being woken up by rowdy toucans! Group yoga sessions take place each morning, and there\u2019s also a bar\/communal area where a family style vegetarian dinner is served every night.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-69003 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/casa-loma.jpg\" alt=\"Coolest Open-Air Hostels - Casa Loma\" width=\"875\" height=\"583\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/hosteldetails.php\/Casa-Loma-Minca\/Minca\/76295\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\"><em>Book your stay at Casa Loma here<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Begadang Backpackers<\/h2>\n<h3>Gili Air, Indonesia<\/h3>\n<p>The island of Gili Air may not be considered as wild as its more famous sibling, but there\u2019s always a party going on at Begadang, home of the world\u2019s first mushroom shaped swimming pool. Begadang is like a laid-back, backpackers commune that welcomes you as family the minute you walk through the door &#8211; if it had doors, that is. Be prepared to get back to basics; sleeping in straw huts, taking bamboo showers and going to the toilet outside. After a few Bintangs in the sun with new friends (both human and feline), civilisation will be a distant memory.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-69005\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/BEGADANG.jpeg\" alt=\"Coolest Open-Air Hostels - Bagadang Backpackers\" width=\"875\" height=\"491\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/hosteldetails.php\/Begadang\/Gili-Air\/97111\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\"><em>Book your stay at Begadang Backpackers here<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Away With the Fairies<\/h2>\n<h3>Hogsback, South Africa<\/h3>\n<p>You don\u2019t get much closer to nature than this! This one of a kind camping lodge in Hogsback, South Africa, is straight out of a fairytale &#8211; much like the rest of the town, which follows a similarly magical theme. Gnomes, elves and fairies decorate the forest that surrounds this wonderfully absurd hostel\/campsite, where you can hike or horseback ride to the nearby waterfalls. What the hostel is most famous for though is its bathtub of Instagram dreams &#8211; a fully functioning tub that\u2019s precariously perched to gaze out over the Amatola Mountains.

Well that dilemma is solved forever my friends! At Pai Circus School you can learn some impressive new party tricks, dance all night around a fire pit or swim all day in an infinity pool, all whilst surrounded by a stunning mountain range in Northern Thailand. This is the hostel you never knew you needed! It\u2019s also a major social hub for the small town of Pai, so you\u2019ll be bonding with new friends over a set of juggling balls in no time.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-69007 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/PAI-CIRCUS-SCHOOL-002.jpg\" alt=\"Coolest Open-Air Hostels - Pai\" width=\"875\" height=\"656\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/hosteldetails.php\/The-Famous-Pai-Circus-Hostel\/Pai\/91394\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\"><em>Book your stay at Pai Circus School here<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>The Dreamer<\/h2>\n<h3>Palomino, Colombia<\/h3>\n<p>The Dreamer can stand up against the swankiest of five-star resorts in my humble opinion. Its main attraction is its huge swimming pool, which you can laze around all day if you don\u2019t feel like taking the few short steps to the beach &#8211; considered one of the most stunning in Colombia. There\u2019s a party at the bar every night, and all sorts of activities take place on the grass every morning, from yoga to Spanish lessons. Accommodation is indoors, with the choice of cabin dorms or super luxurious private rooms. Everything else is wide open &#8211; in fact, you might end up sharing your dinner with the neighbour\u2019s dogs!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-69009 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/THE-DREAMER-PALOMINO-002.jpg\" alt=\"Coolest Open-Air Hostels - the Dreamer\" width=\"875\" height=\"583\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/hosteldetails.php\/The-Dreamer\/Palomino\/69370\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\"><em>Book your stay at The Dreamer here<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>BASE Backpackers<\/h2>\n<h3>Magnetic Island, Australia<\/h3>\n<p>Pack your tent; you\u2019re not gonna\u2019 want to miss the legendary pool parties at this dreamy Queensland retreat. Step outside each morning to glistening turquoise seas and calming island sounds &#8211; and prepare for this to all be forgotten when the sunsets and the DJ gets fired up. BASE is somewhat (in)famous for being the wildest hostel on the island, a reputation that\u2019s regularly upheld with their \u2018Full Moon Down Under\u2019 rave, a take on the iconic Thai party that brings a crowd of 5000 revellers to Magnetic Island once a month.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-69010 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/BASE-MAGNETIC-ISLAND.jpg\" alt=\"Coolest Open-Air Hostels - Base Backpackers\" width=\"873\" height=\"520\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/hosteldetails.php\/Base-Magnetic-Island\/Magnetic-Island\/961\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\"><em>Book your stay at BASE Backpackers here<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Lucky Lake Hostel<\/h2>\n<h3>Amsterdam, Netherlands<\/h3>\n<p>This kitschy, quirky little site is made up of brightly coloured caravans and trailers that have been converted into dorms and private rooms, as well as having an outdoor bar, BBQ area and hammock zone. It\u2019s just outside the hustle and bustle of the city, so you\u2019ll have no problem relaxing by the tranquil lake.

Here you can reclaim your childhood fantasy of living in a tree house&#8230; just with way more booze instead of marshmallows for sleepover snacks. Hangover permitting, they also offer lots of adventure activities including paragliding, white water rafting and scuba diving. And for the less *ahem* active amongst us, its live music nights, incredible food and unbeatable location on Turkey\u2019s Mediterranean coast make it a winner too.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-69012 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/KADIRS-TREE-HOUSE.jpg\" alt=\"Coolest Open-Air Hostels - Kadir's Tree House\" width=\"875\" height=\"656\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/hosteldetails.php\/Kadir-s-Tree-House\/Olympos\/798\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\"><em>Book your stay at Kadir\u2019s Tree House here<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Poc Na Hostel<\/h2>\n<h3>Isla Mujeres, Mexico<\/h3>\n<p>Slap bang in the middle of an idyllic island is where you\u2019ll find this backpacker favourite.
