Driftwood

Front and center on El Paredón’s beachfront, The Driftwood Surfer has earned its reputation as one of the town’s most iconic stays - and one of the very first hostels to put this surf town on the map. More than just a hostel, it’s a magnetic community hub where friendships spark over sunset volleyball, sea turtle conservation, and nightly family dinners that make you feel like you're home.

​

But what makes Driftwood unforgettable isn’t just its lively bar or lineup of social events - it’s the energy, the welcome, and the commitment to making every guest feel like they’ve arrived somewhere meaningful. It’s a place where you can surf all morning, volunteer with baby turtles by afternoon, then dance barefoot under the stars with people you just met. The team’s deep-rooted connection to both locals and travelers shapes every part of the experience.

​

With daily group surf sessions on offer, and a mission that gives back to the community through health, education, and opportunity, Driftwood is a social hostel with a conscience. Their made-from-scratch meals use local ingredients wherever possible, and while sustainability is a work in progress, intention is at the heart of everything.
