1. The Amazing Hostel Sayulita

There’s instant respect for a hostel when they have confidence in their excellence enough to name it “The Amazing Hostel”!

So, you’re probably asking: what makes it so amazing?

Well, it’s the kind of hostel that offers a balance of adrenaline-fuelled activities and shared spaces to simply relax and do your own thing.

For instance, you could spend your time:

• Mountain biking
• Jungle trekking
• Climbing the climbing wall
• Kayaking or surfing

In fact, you can rent surf boards and boogie boards from reception which makes life easier.

OR! If you prefer, grab a spot by the outdoor swimming pool and breath easy underneath the mango trees. Tough choice.

To top it off, everyone is welcome to use the shared kitchen and BBQ for cooking. There’s even unlimited purified water to drink when needed.

As for rooms? There are shared and private options available, including a female only dorm with ensuite facilities and a family room for up to 4 people.

Note: Kids aged +5yrs are welcome here.

All of the dorm rooms come with a private ensuite and a large terrace to chill out.

Location: Just a couple of blocks from the beach, bus stop and main plaza, yet far enough away that you will not be disturbed by the noise.

Selina Sayulita is no exception when it comes to luxury hostel-hotel atmosphere and down-right fabulous shared spaces.

Up on the rooftop, you’ll likely find people doing some Native Vibes Meditation or yoga. Feel free to join any of the morning wellness classes! Then throughout the day, there are plenty of events happening.

What about cheapest hostels in Sayulita?

Of course, there are always cheap hostels. Forget looking for a hotel Sayulita!

We think, it’s not worth it to go with the cheapest hostel out there.

Why?

The difference is usually 1-2€ ($1-2) per night, and a lot of amenities are not included. This can be breakfast or linen.

However, if you are traveling on a shoestring budget and you wanna save every penny, there are ways to find the cheapest places in Sayulita.

1. Open Hostelworld with a full list of budget places to stay in Sayulita
2. Order the listing by price

1. Blue Pepper Beds Sayulita – central, big dorms
2. Hostal Tortuga – outdoor pool, surf lessons

Best Hostels in Sayulita for Solo Travellers?

What is seriously the best hostel in Sayulita for solo-travellers?

There are two hostels we’d recommend for solo travellers, and choosing one depends on the overall atmosphere you are after.

Selina Sayulita offers luxurious comfort with premium facilities and a slightly higher price tag. The many, many activities and events, hostel bar & surf club make this a great place for super social butterflies that enjoy a lively vibe.

La Redonda Sayulita is more for backpackers that are on a tighter budget and prefer a more homely feel to their accommodation. Surfing is the main focus here, with options to join surf trips and lessons.

Party Hostels in Sayulita

As far as party hostels in Sayulita go, there aren’t any! Yet, that’s not to say that the hostels here aren’t sociable. Basically, we didn’t come across any place that advertises itself as a party hostel.

We recommend picking a social hostel such as Selina Sayulita and then going into the village during the evening.

There are plenty of trendy bars in the main square area and this way you can return home to a quiet dorm room and get good sleep.

Plus, Selina has a really cool bar on site called Casa Jaguar. This is where you can start the evening and get to know some people before heading into town.
