About

If you are looking for the perfect place to stay on the beautiful island of Florianopolis, look no more. Your search is over.

Surrounded by lush green gardens, the bamboo lined path leads you to our big wooden doors, straight through reception and onto our poolside patio. It snakes past our bar, yoga area, skate ramp, meditation space, hammocks, private beach area and straight onto the white sand of Barra Da Lagoa Beach. With big spacious rooms, incredible 24/7 hot showers, brand new extra-long beds (for taller people), individual lights and power points, giant private lockers, air conditioning in every room, cotton sheets, free bath towels, daily cleaning, wifi, a very comfortable lounge with big screen TV and PlayStation, ping-pong table, a fully equipped kitchen, 24 hour reception and security surveillance, and much much more!

We chose this property not only for its unique beauty but also for its location. The Search House is the only hostel in Barra da Lagoa with private access to the 14 km stretch of pristine beachfront. While our facility is like a magical oasis that you dont want to leave, we are active people and we encourage our guests to take advantage of all this location has to offer. Whether you are an experienced or beginner surfer, this beach has the right conditions for all.

As well as surfing, you have the opportunity to kayak, stand-up paddle board, snorkel, kitesurf, cycle, or skate on our custom built half-pipe. If you prefer a slower pace you can explore all the wonders of this magical island by foot, or take advantage of our dedicated yoga and meditation spaces, or simply relax by the pool or take in the sun while reading a book on our private beach area. By night we have a fully equipped outdoor bar with a great sound system, and we know how to party! From pool parties to live concerts, we have your social schedule covered. We are located close to the central hub of Lagoa Da Conceio, where you have a wide selection of restaurants, bars and clubs. We also have connections with the best nightspots and can help arrange your night out with a direct shuttle service.

P.S. Think about booking a few extra days, because once you come here you might not want to leave. ;-)

Great stay at Search House Hostel! Clean rooms, friendly staff, good food and possibly one of the best hostels out there. Super social atmosphere and very easy to meet people. The location is convenient and perfect for exploring the beach. Would definitely stay again

The best hostel I’ve ever been to. Perfect location, straight onto the beach. So many activities everyday if you want or just chill. Plenty of things to do inside the hostel. Great cafe, bar and restaurant all within the hostel as well. Places to chill and work in the shade or sun. Little gym for a morning workout. Right next to a small vibrant town with lots to do. Staff were super friendly and the place had a great vibe. The beach outside was stunning with lots going on but not super busy too.
