Hostel in Arona next to Playa de Las Galletas, with shared dormitories, a communal kitchen, terrace and options for snorkelling and water sports.

Room types

Single Fin Surf Hostel offers three bed options in shared dormitories: a four-bed mixed room, a six-bed mixed room and a six-bed female dormitory. Each booking is for one individual bed; the rooms have a shared bathroom with a shower. The first category covers 10 m², while the two six-bed rooms cover 16 m².

The differences between them can help you choose according to the kind of stay you want: the bed in the four-bed mixed dormitory comes with city and landmark views, as well as soundproofing. The two six-bed options are also soundproofed or include a coffee machine, depending on the category; the female dormitory stands out for offering a coffee and tea maker. Bed linen and a fan are listed among the amenities in some options. This means you can choose between sharing a dormitory with people of different genders or staying in the room reserved for women.
