Our exceptional facility is thoughtfully designed with amenities such as a swimming pool, common rooms, and rooftop terraces. As an eco-friendly hostel, sustainability is at the heart of what we do and we hope you share the same values.. We operate independently with our own solar panels, generator, and water storage and treatment systems to ensure 24/7 utilities while minimizing our environmental impact.

We believe in exploring adventure, embracing local culture, and creating life memories and friends along the way. Operated by Thai locals, we know how to make you feel at home. Our hostel is filled with a FREE Beach Shuttle and a variety of activities bringing us all together.

The property is separated into 2 buildings, the main building and the 'Hide & Seek", unit. The 'Hide&Seek' unit t is located in a separate building, tucked away 2 minutes walk from the main building, surrounded by jungle. All rooms are equipped with A/C and feature a balcony and are all located upstairs, accessible by stairs only.

I went there specifically for the diving course and I couldn't possibly recommend enough! My instructor, Sara, was so patient with me and knew how to put me at ease when I had problems and she made the experience absolutely awesome and I can't thank her enough! The facilities like the pool are absolutely awesome and I managed to make some friends even though it's not a party hostel! I would highly recommend if you want to do the diving certification and don't mind being a little far from Sairee!

This hostel is amazing! Met such wonderful people and the staff were so warm. Though a bit far from Sairee, we adored the shuttles to the more tucked away beaches and bars around the island!
