This bright, colourful and welcoming hostel is spectacularly located right on the beachfront. The six-person dorm has ocean views, but the optimum place to enjoy the vista is from the rooftop terrace. Staying here need not just be about relaxing, though – the owner is a surfing fanatic and can advise on which of the city's 12 surf spots will best serve your needs.
Skateboards and snorkelling gear are free for guests to use and staff can arrange all manner of outdoor pursuits around Gran Canaria.
