Sayulita, Nayarit, México


Since Christmas Day, 2015
La Redonda opened on the 25th of December 2015 with bunk beds inside and tents in the garden. Anna and Lucero added two private cabins as it grew, and left the rest of the house as dorms on purpose — because the whole point of the place is the people you meet in it.
Ten years on that has not changed. There is a common area you will lose an afternoon in, a kitchen that is busiest at eleven at night, and a week of things to do that nobody is obliged to join. Enough room to disappear into a corner, enough going on that you will not want to.

A shared adventure, or a little space of your own.
Four to ten beds, with a locker, a plug and a reading light of your own, and the best odds in town of leaving with new friends.

Two cabins for two — each with its own bathroom — one under a palapa roof with a rooftop cabana, one with a balcony over the street. The hostel, without the bunk.
Book on our own site and breakfast is included, every morning.
It is in the name
The main break is at the end of the street and a soft, forgiving right — it is where most of Sayulita caught their first wave. When it is crowded or flat, the trip goes out to La Lancha, Burros or Punta de Mita instead. Boards rent from $6 a day; the trip is from $25.
Surf from the hostel
Seven nights, seven things
Volleyball on Monday, a bonfire on Wednesday, karaoke on Friday, everyone at one table on Sunday. None of it costs extra and none of it is compulsory.
Volleyball on the sand at sunset, and a great deal of laughing at how bad everyone is.
Test what you actually know, sing the rest of it, and meet the people at the next table.
Fire, music and the sea in the dark. The night most people describe when they get home.
A dance class that turns into a dance. Nobody has ever been the worst one there for long.
A microphone, a room full of strangers, and by the end of it no strangers.
A tournament, a bracket, and far more ceremony than the game deserves.
Everyone cooks, everyone eats, everyone washes something. The week closes at one long table.

“For my Mexican and foreign friends: this place is special because it lets you meet a lot of people. The activities they put on in the evenings and the atmosphere make the whole experience better. The location is excellent and the people looking after it — the volunteers and the staff — are super friendly and good company. And for a small amount you can add breakfast, which does you a favour during the day because the town is on the expensive side. Definitely one of the best hostels I have stayed in.”

“I’ve stayed at La Redonda several times and always had a great experience. The vibe is cool, the staff is friendly & the two owners, Lu and Anna, are very nice & helpful. The hostel is really clean, thanks to Carmen! Yes it is a party hostel, but it is so much more. I built some generous and real connections there that will last forever. The rooms are clean, have AC & all the basics like curtains. It’s in the heart of Sayulita so everything is max. 10min walking distance. Highly recommended!”

“The place is warm and beautiful, and everybody was kind and lovely. From the first contact there is a feeling of calm and friendliness. There are fun activities and everyone makes you feel part of it. The karaoke was the best (congratulations to the girl from Florida who sang Lady Gaga's Alejandro). Breakfast was delicious and filling and I felt welcome the whole time. Thank you for such an excellent place. ✨🤙🌊”

Sayulita, Nayarit
Papel picado over the streets, a surf break at the end of them, and taquerías that do not open until you are hungry. We have written down what we would tell a friend arriving tomorrow — including how to get here from the airport without paying four times over.
