If a lack of privacy doesn't bother you then Aruanda Hostel is a great way to experience the nouveau-beach-bum delights of Caraíva first hand. In the dorm rooms luxury stops at mosquito netting, but the charms of this place exist elsewhere. The location (near the main drag of restaurants), lush grounds and a friendly, community-oriented vibe have guests raving.
