About

Mendihuaca Selva & Surf is a unique beachfront stay located between the Sierra Nevada mountains and the Caribbean Sea, offering the perfect balance of nature, surf culture, and relaxed social vibes. It’s one of the few places where you can fall asleep to the sound of the ocean and wake up facing it.

The property offers two thoughtfully designed rooms, each equipped with individual lockers, mosquito nets, and bathrooms facing the jungle, creating an immersive natural experience while maintaining comfort. Both rooms enjoy direct sea views, making every morning unforgettable.

The common area is ideal for coworking, socializing, playing games, or simply relaxing, and the on-site restaurant bar serves delicious treats throughout the day. For adventure seekers, Olala Surf School is ready to guide you through your next surf session, whether you’re a beginner or experienced surfer.

Located just a short walk from the Mendihuaca River junction, guests can easily enjoy river swims, beach time, and nearby jungle exploration. The team is always happy to share local tips and hidden gems to help you explore the area beyond the usual routes.

Mendihuaca Selva & Surf is perfect for travelers seeking connection, adventure, nature, and a true coastal experience—without being too far from nightlife and local culture.

Only stayed one night but a very chill place right on the beach. The beds were comfortable and the room was huge. It was pretty quiet when I was there but the volunteers were super friendly and I will likely go back in a few weeks time

Lovely to wake up to the view of the ocean just metres away. Bathrooms & room is nice + spacious. Few details on Hostelworld are incorrect though (check-in is until 7, check out is 11, and breakfast not included) which was confusing. Very quiet and peaceful here if you’re looking for a relaxing stay.
