Bonabrigo Hostel

Santa Catarina


You can't miss the blinding yellow-and-blue-trimmed facade of this newer hostel occupying a residential home 1km back from the breach. Dorms come in four- to 10-bed configurations and are indeed top-end – privacy curtains, personal outlets, modern bathrooms – and there is a large shared kitchen and pool table. But high-season prices here teeter outside reality.

Two private doubles in a shipping container were slated to be installed in 2018.
