Surfing in Paradise, starting at Spin Designer Hostel

Before we start, pack smartโ€ฆ

Remember to pack accordingly for staying in a hostel โ€“ yet, do not overpack.

Hereโ€™s our full packing list, including Noise-Cancelling ear plugs and your padlocks.

Packing List for Backpacking

SPIN Designer Hostel in El Nido is a 5 Star Hostel becauseโ€ฆ

El Nido in Palawan, is still wild, tropical paradise.

Switch to beach-babe mode, take off your shoes and let us give you the guided tour. We will experience local topography, learn about batibot chairs, and nightly jam sessions.

And if we miss the board under us, we hop over to the surfing beach again.

Are you in?

1.ย Seamlessly with the local topography

Without doubt Palawan is a fragile environment, and one that is best enjoyed for its natural beauty.

SPIN Designer Hostel gets it, and uses only Eco-friendly materials to create a comfortable and sustainable living space.

Look closer at the design and you will spot bamboo and other locally sourced, organic materials that are cleverly featured around this 5 Star Hostel.

SPIN was designed to blend seamlessly with the local topography.

Did you spot that the hostel is on stilts?

This was done with nature in mind โ€“ no creatures under the buildingโ€™s footprint are harmed. SPIN Designer Hostel gains further sustainability points with their continued effort to recycle.

This includes recycle bins dotted around and the use of up-cycled furniture and fixtures, something that resonates with the conscious lifestyle of the SPIN traveler.

2. Locally sourced organicย materials

We briefly mentioned the up-cycled furniture in #1 sustainability,ย so letโ€™s delve a little deeper.

Local materials and up-cycled products feature heavily here at SPIN Designer Hostel, and we think it is what ultimately gives the hostel its design name.

Check out the tables in the common kitchen and see they are all made from refurbished materials.

Cozy common area at Spin Designer Hostel

This is the same for the โ€žbatibotโ€œ chairs in the private guest rooms and daybeds in the common areas (yes thatโ€™s right, you can have a nap in the common area if you wish!)

The woven room dividers are made from locally sourced rattan, and the fire exit wall comprises of local stone.

SPIN hostel has also recycled steel scaffolds for the bed frames โ€“ who says they can only be used for construction purposes? Thereย can be a second life for to many objects, and lot of our 5 Star Hostels know how to do it with a top-notch design.

Lastly, take a look at the restaurant terrace and enjoy your meal further as you sit upon completely recycled wood.

Especially on islands, sustainable architecture is important.

3. Aย nest for the travelers โ€“ unique!

To support the โ€˜designer hostelโ€™ name once more, the owners at SPIN hostel provided us with an enticing summary of what makes their hostel unique, and we think youโ€™re going to love it as much as we do.

The central core of Spin Designer Hostel is meant to resemble a birdโ€™s nest โ€“ specifically the Balinsasayaw nests built out of saliva by tiny swiftlet birds in El Nidoโ€™s towering limestone cliffs.

It features a soaring ceiling, woven walls, and floor-to- ceiling jalou plus windows.

The result is a sumptuous, well-ventilated common space awash in glorious natural light.

The use of local, up-cycled and eco-friendly products on the design of SPIN is what makes it unique from all other accommodations in El Nido.

4. Get social at: The Nest, Burrow, Deck, Ledge and Woods

SPIN Designer Hostel is home to different minds from different walks of life, people from all ages and unique places.

There are numerous shared spaces to hang out; The Nest, The Burrow, The Deck, The Ledge and The Woods are thoughtfully designed for mingling, and no doubt were inspired by the birdโ€™s nest design theme.
