Frequently asked
What is the cheapest hostel in Guaruja?

Which hostel in Guaruja has the best rating?
Alma de Mare Hostel has the highest rating at 9.5 out of 10, based on 243 reviews. It offers a pool, sundeck, and shared kitchen, and is a 20-minute walk from Guaiuba Beach.
How far is Guaruja from Sao Paulo and how do I get there?
Guaruja is on an island about 90 km from Sao Paulo. You can drive via the Imigrantes or Anchieta highways, or take a bus from Sao Paulo's terminals to Guaruja, then a local bus or taxi to your hostel – most cost less than USD 15 per night for a dorm bed.
What is the best area in Guaruja for first-time visitors?
Enseada is a popular choice for first-timers – it has a wide beach, plenty of bars and restaurants, and several hostels like Guaruja Hostel and Espaco Oasis. Pitangueiras is more central and lively but has fewer hostels, so check the cheap and budget hotels page for alternatives there.
Hostels in Guaruja
Guaruja's hostels cluster around the beaches that draw visitors to this island city – Enseada, Tombo, and Guaiuba – and most put you within walking distance of the sand. Unlike the big resort hotels further along the coast, these are small, social places where a pool and a shared kitchen often matter as much as the address.
Prices start at USD 13 per night for a dorm bed at places like Curvao Surf House or Hostel 4 Elementos, and climb to around USD 99 for a private room at Canto Da Lu. The higher end of the range still sits well below the area's hotels, and the real variation is in vibe – from the adults-only surf crowd at Curvao to the laid-back, garden setting of Pousada Reserva do Tombo. Some pages here also list guest houses alongside the hostels, so you may see a few properties with private bathrooms in the mix.
The bottom line
These hostels suit backpackers, surfers, and budget travellers who want a sociable, low-cost base close to Guaruja's beaches – especially Enseada, Tombo, and Guaiuba. If you prefer more space, private facilities, or specific extras like parking, indoor pools, or pet-friendly policies – or if you'd rather be right on Pitangueiras – have a look at the 'Cheap and budget hotels' or 'Beach hotels' pages, which also cover hotels in other central areas.
