About

We are the first COVID-19 SAFETY CERTIFIED accommodation in the area, with the highest level of safety and hygiene issued by the Portugal Tourism Agency. We have adapted our operations in order to lower the risks.

We welcome you to join us at Arrifana Destination Hostel to experience a place where people from all over the world meet and create new friendships. Backpackers, solo travelers, couples: Arrifana Destination Hostel is the best place to enjoy the life! Watch the amazing sunset from our terrace, drink a cocktail from our bar, taste the best burgers in Algarve from our new restaurant, jump in the pool and relax after a surf session, enjoy the BBQ night and our parties and activities. This paradise is Arrifana, you'll never forget about it!

Arrifana Destination Hostel is a brand new purpose-built hostel offering modern, comfortable and well-equipped facilities. Our Arrifana destination is secluded and off the beaten path, making it the perfect getaway to relax or enjoy beaches well known for long stretches of sand sheltered by cliffs in the picturesque fishing port.

Arrifana is a year-round favorite for active locals and travelers, especially surfers and body-boarders, as well as people just looking to relax in nature. Located in Costa Vicentina Natural Park, one of most unique and well-preserved nature areas of Europe, along an extensive coastline.

Just opened, we feature the Arrifana Hokapia Original burgers & Drinks, with clever, fresh, local & healthy food, that is sightseeing for your eyes and a delight for your taste. Try the best burgers in Algarve! Please note that we don't have a kitchen but we offer special discount for our guests in the bar.

From here you can explore further south along the coast. From the beaches of Bordeira and Amado (Carrapateira),have hosted national and international surfing and bodyboarding events, down to Sagres, which housed the famous nautical school founded by the Infante D. Henrique in the 15th century.
If you are up to the challenge, albeit with difficult access, it's possible to discover many other beaches that have been preserved in a virtually untouched state.

Come here and relax, work (we have an excellent co-working area), and of course have fun!

We are pet friendly! Pets can only be accommodated in private rooms.

Cool place and nice vibe, good for solo travelers. Though we had alot of problems with this place.. staff was rude and unhelpful. Kitchen lacked basic stuff, was dirty, and food got stolen. No place to eat unless you bought from the bar/restaurant. No towels, no drying area for wet clothes (important for hikers). Pool was out of service with no compensation. Power went out twice so we couldn’t cook. Overall, not ideal for budget or independent travelers.

Super nice and fun, very relaxed. Wayne and Fred in the band are awesome. Lovely live music Tuesday nights. Sunny, dreamy, calming and peaceful. Cleans and fresh facilities and cosy beds.

Unfortunately the description and amenities mentioned are not accurate (filtered water and kitchen - where we later got access from another staff member?) and had to change rooms due to a faulty bunk bed. The staff was very friendly and surely did their best in a run-down building. You can go by foot to Arrifana beach, the outdoor and co-working areas were nice and wifi fast.
