About

Green Haven Hostel - Ubatuba

Green Haven Hostel sits directly across from the beach on Avenida Governador Abreu Sodre, putting the sand and surf within a minute's walk. The property offers a range of stays, from shared dormitories to private rooms and self-contained cottages and bungalows, many with sea, mountain, or garden views from private balconies.

The hostel is built around socialising — there's a shared kitchen, BBQ facilities, a games room with billiards and table tennis, and regular happy hours and live entertainment. Staff are consistently praised for going out of their way to help, whether that's shuttling guests from the bus station, organising activities, or pointing you toward hidden beaches.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Adults-only policy — No children are allowed, so if you're travelling with family this isn't the place — but it keeps the vibe quiet and adult-focused.
  • No pets allowed — You'll have to leave your furry friends at home — pets are not permitted on the property.
  • Reception isn't 24/7 — Check-in is only between 2pm and midnight, and checkout is at 11am — plan your travel to arrive within those hours or you'll have to wait.
  • One guest review was less enthusiastic — While most feedback is glowing, a single review rated the experience lower (5.4/10) — this suggests that individual experiences can vary.

“Great atmosphere with friendly staff who shared secret spots and even had surfboards to borrow. They set up fun activities and BBQs, and the location across from the beach was unbeatable.”

“Excellent value for money, and my room was comfy with a lovely view of the sea. Perfect spot right across from the beach and close to the wilder northern beaches.”

“Unbeatable location right by the beach with beautiful views. Getting picked up for free from the bus station was a nice extra, and the common areas were big and had things like a pool table.”

“Right on the beach with gorgeous views, free pick-up from the station, fun BBQs, roomy common areas, and helpful staff.”

“We had a really lovely time here. The staff were friendly and went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed ourselves, offering great tips on beaches and things to do in town. The location was perfect, just across from a beautiful beach and within easy walking distance of the centre. The facilities and common spaces were great too — pool table, foosball, even musical instruments. Everything was spotlessly clean, which made the stay even better.”
