About

Nestled on the pedestrian side of Las Canteras beach, La Ventana Azul is a surf‑centric hostel that truly lives up to its tagline, “Surf Hostel in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria – Since 2012.” The property boasts a sprawling rooftop overlooking the iconic surf spots La Cicer, Los Muellitos and El Lloret, where guests can watch waves break while sipping a cold drink. Inside, the hostel offers a mix of dormitories and private rooms – every bed comes with a personal locker, reading light and power outlet, and many balconies or windows open to the sea. Beyond accommodation, the hostel’s highlight is its free, community‑driven programming: daily movie nights, shared kitchen cooking sessions, an open‑air library and even a dedicated co‑working space equipped with high‑speed Wi‑Fi for digital nomads. 5 % off is available for guests who book directly on the official website, adding extra value to the already affordable rates. La Ventana Azul extends its commitment to sustainability with the Ventana Verde eco‑farm. Located in the heart of Gran Canaria’s national park, this 5,000 m² permaculture orchard supplies the hostel with fresh avocados, bananas, tropical fruits and free‑running eggs, showcasing the hostel’s dedication to green tourism. Overall, the hostel offers a welcoming, budget‑friendly beach lifestyle with surf access, community vibes and eco‑responsibility—all wrapped in a prime Las Palmas location that’s a stone’s throw from the city’s best waves.
