About

TAVIRA, BEACH AND HERITAGE
The Youth Hostel of Tavira is in a building with 100+ years, with a strongly influenced Arab decoration. This Youth Hostel is part of the mystique of Tavira where we can find many Islamic and Roman influences just a few steps away.

Getting to know Tavira takes time, so set out to discover this charming city: stroll along the River Gilão, explore the Castle in the historic centre, and relax on the 11 km of beaches you have at your disposal, not forgetting the Ria Formosa Nature Reserve.

Summary of traveller reviews

HI Tavira - Pousada de Juventude offers a fantastic central location in Tavira, with friendly and helpful staff. Guests appreciate the clean facilities and good value for money, including a nice breakfast. However, some recent reviews mention that lockers do not lock and the atmosphere can be quiet, making it less ideal for those seeking a lively social scene.

Pretty good! No locks on the lockers. AC functioned well. Showers were a bit dirty and annoying to use but still worked. Breakfast was alright, nice to have. Great location!!

The staff was amazing, but that’s about it. The atmosphere is completely dead, the kitchen is barely functional and dirty. The common room feels like a hotel lobby. Works for a overnight stay, but do not recommend or travelers and backpackers looking for good atmosphere and fun people

I had a great stay here and a few lovely conversations with the women at reception. They were eager to provide recommendations and just chat. My only issue is that the closets in the rooms don’t lock, but they offer a secure room downstairs if you need
