The best youth hostels Colombia

This finca is only a few metres from the main square of Salento. The owner speaks French, gives pleasure to tourist information and can organise visits on request. An equipped kitchen is available, as well as the Internet and laundry service.

Colonial style house offering single, double, triple rooms and sharing. Kitchen available and free wifi.

The first hostel in the archipelago. It occupies an entire 5-story building, where the reception, friendly common areas and a large kitchen are distributed. Comfortable and convenient rooms and dormitories with private bathrooms, good mattresses and air conditioning. On the top floor, a bar with a pirate-inspired decor and a view of the sea. Lots of atmosphere in the evening. There are daily activities inside and outside the hostel. The hostel is a 15 minute walk from the airport and 5 minutes from the beach.

The famous chain of hostels has moved into a former luxury hotel. The facilities as well as the setting are superb, with a deserted sandy beach. Relaxed and festive atmosphere, with a bar-restaurant, a beautiful pool and a lush garden. The rooms and suites are in the rustic luxury range, with high ceilings under palm roofs and plenty of space; the dormitories are in the same vein, clean and comfortable, with air conditioning. Many activities are available: yoga, surfing, volleyball, dancing, or guitar and campfires under the stars.

Located high above Sapzurro, it's surely one of the best options for solo backpackers and budget travelers eager to meet new people. Casa Mola is the story of two brothers madly in love with this little corner of paradise and passionate about the native communities of Darién and Choco: mola is an ancestral textile art mastered by the Kuna Yala women. Set between sea and jungle, this magical address overlooks the bay of Sapzurron and exudes joy and good humour. The atmosphere is relaxing, but some evenings are more festive!
