About

Welcome to the biggest surf hostel in Puerto Escondido! 🌊
The legendary Straw Hat Hostel crew is back, now conquering Oaxaca! This is our second location in Mexico, and we’re here to serve surf, party, and chill vibes all in one epic package.

Here’s the deal:

ONLY ADULTS

🌴 We started in Tulum back in December 2019 as a party hostel, and now we’re upping our game with the ultimate mix of surf, fun, and relaxation. Located between Zicatela and La Punta, we’re only one block from the beach and right in the heart of the action.

🎉 Philosophy: The world belongs to the crazy ones. So bring your energy, your good vibes, and your sunscreen.

🏖️ Community perks: A self-service kitchen, free WiFi (even by the pool!), co-working spaces for the digital nomads, and 24-hour security.
