Casa de Olas - Eco Rustic Hostel

Casa de Olas is an eco-rustic hostel located on a hill, surrounded by nature. We offer basic amenities in a calm and relaxed environment, ideal for travelers looking to disconnect. The hostel has shared areas and a communal kitchen. This is not a luxury hotel, but an authentic and simple place close to nature.

We are just 3 km from the center of San Juan del Sur. From here, you can see breathtaking ocean views and sunsets. In the mornings and evenings, you will hear the gentle calls of monkeys and the songs of colorful birds.

Our rooms and dorms are eco-friendly, mostly mixed, and shared with travelers from around the world. We do not have air conditioning or hot water, but we do have ceiling fans that keep the air fresh with less impact on the environment.

Casa de Olas is a place to rest, move at your own pace, or work in a quiet space. Our pool, relaxed vibe, and friendly staff make it easy to feel at home. Casa de Olas is more than a place to sleep, it’s a home for long stays, where it’s easy to feel settled and comfortable for as long as you wish. Here, you will meet people who also value peace, health, and nature.

For beach lovers, we have daily shuttles to Remanso or Maderas, and we can also arrange surf lessons. Whether you are new to surfing or experienced, this is the perfect place to connect with the ocean.

Casa de Olas is not just a hostel. You will share the space with the family who manages the hostel and with volunteers from different countries. It’s a great opportunity to experience community life, respect shared spaces, and follow simple house guidelines so everyone can enjoy a peaceful stay.
