Detailed Reviews
To ALL travelers that love Portugal, the ocean, the beach, yoga or surfing, this is the place to be! Pura Vida is a beautiful house, right by the beach, converted into a hostel. Super clean, super nice breakfast and super warm and caring owners! Always ready to help. Could not ask for more! If you combine your stay with a 20h surf course and/or 10h yoga course, make sure to prepare yourself physically as it requires a good level of being fit and sporty! Hope everyone will have as much fun as I did! Thank you Bea and Hugo!!

I really enjoyed my stay at Pura Vida. I spent 8 night in the shared dorm. The hostel is very pretty, clean, organized and very very very well located (I l would say about 80 meters to the beach). The outdoor space is very nice, tu eat your own food or for sunbathing. There are also two outdoors showers which are very handy if you want to quickly rinse yourself right after surfing. The breakfast is good and included in the price. Bea, the manager, is so friendly and makes everything to make sure that you have everything you need to enjoy your stay. I cannot wait to come back. Visited in April 2017.

Best hostel ever!
When you arrive in pura vida you feel immediately welcome and its like in a big family everybody connects fast together and its just such a great vibe in the whole hostel!
Very very clean bathrooms with hot showers! Very welcoming helpful staff. The beds are comfortable with fresh sheets two pillows and you even get your own towel!
Also the kitchen facilities were brilliant. We had a wonderfull dinner (Bea and Hugo cooked for us). The hosts did two extremly nice trips with us - one to peniche and one to sintra.
There was such a lovely atmosphere in the hostel pura vida! Pura vida is my favorite hostel and I strongly recommend it if you are looking for a cute, fun and warm place to stay.
Thank you Bea and Hugo for the great time!

Hostel itself is a perfectly clean, really nice space you actually can and want to relax in. Great location right on beach and Areia Branca is a nice quiet but cool spot to visit. Owners/managers are excellent and really know what they're doing creating just a cool space for travellers to be themselves in - whether surfing, wanting to meet people, get local advice or just relax, you can do it all at Pura Vida and will be treated like a real person not just someone filling a bed. Kitchen new and more than adequate to cook in. Happy to have found and enjoyed this hostel!

What a nice hostel! We were 11 friends and spent our time there for 6 days. It was such a nice vaccation! The hostel mum Bea was so kind and helped us out in any situation. Everything was very clean and the breakfast was delicious! Bea also made some delicious clamps for us, when we decided to have a barbecue at the evening. It's also very close to the surf school and the beach, which was perfect. I hope to come back again someday!

As soon as we got to the Pura Vida Beach Hostel we felt like we were coming home.
The hostel is very clean and tidy and every single room has its little details that makes it very special! The hosts, Bea and Hugo, are very welcoming, helpful and have a big heart. They make you a delicious breakfast every single day at any time of the day. They also took us to Peniche for dinner one evening and showed us around. You have also the possibility to cook your own meal or do some barbecue at the hostel. The beach and the restaurants are nearby (maybe 5 minutes walk) as well as the grocery store and the ATM machine.
We felt highly included and were very sad that we had to leave after a week of fun, laughter, surfing, sun bathing and jam sessions. I highly recommend this place to stay to any of you!

The best hostel ever! Service is given by the owner Hugo and his friend Bea who works with him and they deserve an A+. They warm welcomed me and treat me as a good friend. The hostel has the generous space, huge kitchen, cosy living room and a lovely terrasse where I enjoyed reading books and having dinner. The bedroom is clean, light, with comfortable bed. 2 minutes’ walk is enough to reach the beach.
The only thing of breaking the silence there is the sound of the waves. So, I had a good sleep after surf lessons. The speciality of this hostel during the off- season is a breakfast. Hugo or Bea cooked breakfast for the guests while talking with them. For me it was a good time to know more about local culture. They are great hosts who likes to make a jokes and with them you will never be tired. Last day Hugo with Bea and his friend drove us to Peniche and showed local beautiful places. All together we had a typical dinner at the cafe there. Thanks to them I felt like being at home.

The service was excellent, the rooms were very clean. It is a very pleasant place to be. The beach is "just around the corner". The bedroom was so sweet and cosy. I'm coming back for sure, maybe next summer!! I want to learn surfing, so I guess I'll talk to them about the full experience

Awesome hostel at a nice location. The rooms were very comfortable and the host was cool. You can get to the beach in like 3 minutes and hear the ocean at night.
There were two bathrooms, a kitchen and a nice living room with TV for everyone.
Highly recommend!
