About

Welcome to our friendly laid-back hostel in Plaza del Duque. If you're looking for something a little more comfortable and relaxed than a party hostel, then we're the place for you!

Please, take into consideration that we only accept clients between 2 and 70 years of age. We kindly ask our future guests to provide their telephone number during the booking process on the site, in order to be able to communicate more easily before check-in or during their stay if necessary.

La Tortuga Hostel opened in 2015 and is in a prime location not far from El Duque beach (which boasts some of the best sunsets of the whole island) and close to the pretty village of La Caleta and Playa de Los Hippies. The famous tourist areas of Tenerife, Las Americas, and Costa Adeje are easily accessible by bus, bike, or even walking. There is a large Hiperdino supermarket just around the corner and plenty of bars and restaurants nearby if you wish to go out in the evening. If you want to buy some typical products or souvenirs, the market of Costa Adeje is a 3-minute walk from the hostel and runs every Thursday and Saturday.

We are a legal hostel, proudly part of Hostelling International and Red Canarias de Albergues de Juventud. We offer shared and private accommodation. The house has a communal kitchen with a separate dining area and a bright, spacious lounge with a TV at your disposal. Our peaceful outdoor space has a garden with sun loungers, a small pool, a lovely covered terrace, and a BBQ area.

Sports enthusiasts will appreciate the excursions offered surfing, snorkeling, diving, paragliding, canyoning, climbing, hiking, whale watching and nightlife lovers will welcome the bars, restaurants, and nightclubs, all within walking distance.

Our international staff will do everything to welcome you to Tenerife in the best way possible and make you well looked after, advising on things to do according to your tastes. We are waiting for you!

First time staying in a hostel, and my experience was very good! Everyone was very kind and social, but gave you space if you needed it. Bathroom was always very clean and location was right by the bus station. The only thing I would mention is the cigarette smells, but very normal in europe. Free coffee and lots of activity’s! Would definitely stay again!

One of the best hostel in Tenerife. Location is near to bus stops which can lead you everywhere in the island. The place is small but super nice and chill they both have shared and private rooms, the staff is great they help you with everything and are always available; they also organize events and the atmosphere at the hostel is unique. Dormitories and shared rooms are cleaned everyday and the property has every facility a hostel needs.

I loved the atmosphere in this hostel for my first day arriving in Tenerife as a solo traveler. Definitely consider staying the Wednesday night for bbq + going out. Staff and Volunteers there are amazingly friendly . The small swimming pool there was a good surprise to me ! If you look for authentic Canadian experience away from touristic area this is not a place I would recommend
