Surf Hostel in Las Palmas Gran Canaria

✅ The hostel is a typical three-story “townhouse” (casa terrera) in Las Palmas, just 30 meters from the Paseo de Las Canteras. Right next to the surf school.
✅ On the main floor, there is a 6-person dorm, the reception, and the coworking area. Plus, space for surfboards and a chill-out area for watching video projections and surf movies.
✅ On the first floor, there are private and shared dorms, bathrooms, and toilets.
✅ On the second floor of the hostel, the rooftop, you’ll find the shared kitchen and dining area with side sea views. You can also find the wetsuit drying area with hangers.

✅ The neighborhood where the hostel and the surf school are located is lively, with a great atmosphere and plenty of sports. Welcome to Guanarteme and the La Cicer area! The hostel also features a chill-out lounge that the owner has named “El Insular” as a tribute to the old football stadium of Unión Deportiva Las Palmas. There, you can relax, play the guitar, listen to music, watch a movie on the projector, have a drink, and share opinions and experiences with other guests.

✅ You can decide if you want to cook and share lunches or dinners with others—cooking as a team is quite common. That’s why we provide a fully equipped kitchen with cooking utensils, an oven, a microwave, a fridge, etc. In the afternoons, you can always take a break from surfing, talk about the day’s session, and plan the next one!

✅ The Surf Hostel is located in the “La Cicer” surf zone at Las Canteras beach. Only 1 minute away from the surf school.
