About

Welcome to Summer House a place to slow down, connect and feel at home.

More than just a hostel, Summer House is all about community. Whether you’re travelling solo or with friends, you’ll quickly become part of the family.

This season, we’re excited to introduce our cocktail bar, dinner specials and a regular evening program to bring everyone together after a day of surfing or exploring.

Our amazing Social Hosts are always around to help, answer questions and make sure everyone feels included. From the moment you check in, you’ll be invited to our WhatsApp community, where guests can connect, join activities and never miss what’s happening around the hostel.

Our biggest highlight is our spacious outdoor area. Relax in the garden, meet fellow travellers, enjoy a coffee, join a yoga class in our jungle yoga shala or the evening Programm. Or simply slow down and enjoy island life.

Our dorms are simple, cozy and not that big - we believe the best part of hostel life happens outside the room. All dorms include lockers for your valuables, and many guests even leave their backpacks outside the rooms to create more space inside.

We love our location. Summer House is intentionally tucked away from the busy town centre, offering a peaceful atmosphere while still being close to everything you need. We’re just a short walk from Kabalana Beach (around 400 metres), our favourite beach for swimming, sunsets and relaxing. Popular surf spots like Sticks and Marshmallows are also within 5 min walking distance.

At Summer House, we believe in kindness, respect and creating a place where everyone feels welcome.

We can’t wait to welcome you .

I loved my stay here! The staff were amazing. As a woman travelling alone, I felt really safe the whole time, which meant a lot to me! :) The location is perfect. You're only 5 minutes from the busy town, but it feels like your own little world, so calm and peaceful! And you're so close to Kabalana Beach, the most beautiful beach in the area. Everything was super clean, too. I can recommend it to everyone

Gorgeous hostel! Close to Kabalana beach which is probably the nicest in Ahangama. Away from the town but an easy ride in and there are some nice local restaurants nearby. The food in their cafe is amazing and the garden area is so nice. They offer yoga most mornings. It offered the nicest social vibe without being too much :) would definitely recommend
