About

Welcome to Mandalas Hideout, the cosy, easy-going hostel built for travellers looking for a haven away from home, tucked away outside the busy centre of San Pedro and just a few minutes’ walk from the lakeshore.

Wake up early for hikes, kayaking, and exploring the lake, without being kept up all night by the party scene. Enjoy comfortable rooms, social common spaces, and a community vibe without any of the chaos - while still being close enough to enjoy everything San Pedro has to offer.

We heard all the complaints about loud party hostels, so we opened the alternative:

✨ Quiet at night - fall asleep to the sounds of nature
🚲 FREE bikes for guests - quick access to the centre without having to stay in it
🏞 Lake access within a 5-minute walk
🛶 The perfect spot for kayaking
👨‍🍳 Fully equipped guest kitchen
💬 Chilled social atmosphere

Even though we’re outside the busy centre, our neighbourhood has everything you need - small convenience stores for everyday essentials, a cosy coffee shop for your morning caffeine fix, and a beautiful Italian restaurant with a garden terrace that’s perfect for a relaxed drink or dinner. So if you don’t feel like heading into town after a full day of adventure, you can stay close, unwind, and enjoy the beauty of the lake right on your doorstep.

Come find your calm, make new friends, and really experience Lake Atitlán.

This was one of my favourite hostels I’ve stayed at. I loved the vibe here and the space was beautiful. The lake view from the hostel is gorgeous and there’s beach access right down the road. The rooms are comfy, spacious, and clean. Next door is a delicious Italian restaurant and a great coffee shop. All the staff was really friendly and helpful. I loved being able to wake up in the morning and go on a beautiful walk around the area with a coffee and visit the lake. Highly recommend stayinghere

Such a good hostel. Super chill atmosphere, lovely people, and a really nice team. Easy to meet people but also easy to just do your own thing. Had a great time here and would definitely come back!!!
