About

Welcome to our little haven in south Tenerife! We are a cozy, and quiet eco-villa. Located just in front of a beautiful sand beach and a small natural park, we provide our guests with a home base for exploring the area, enjoying the year-round sun and the beach, the natural beauty of our surroundings, and all the activities that can be organized here, such as snorkeling, hiking, surfing, diving, kite-surfing, wind-surfing, airsoft, or beach volley. We are not a party hostel. Instead, this is a place for those looking for something more comfortable and quiet, who still want to meet new people over their stay. Here, you can be active during the day, or just sunbathe and chill in our patio, take a dip in our pool, or enjoy the sea and Teide view from our rooftop. We are very green. We recycle, provide free drinkable water trough our own filter system, heat our water with sun energy, get supplied only with green electricity, and all our furniture comes from sustainable managed forests.

We are located at the edge of El Medano town, so despite being based in front of the beach and a natural park, we are also at a 10 minutes drive from the airport (aprox 15 euro taxi), 10 minutes walk from the closest supermarket and ATM, and 20 minutes walking (or 5 minutes bike) from el Medano downtown and all its bars and restaurants. We are also just in front of the bus stop.

We have two 8 people dorms, one 6 people dorm, and one 4 people dorm. All dorm are mixed, equipped with bunk beds. All the rooms have curtains, and all the beds have their two own electric plugs.

I would not stay in this hostel again. It was a 30 minute walk from the closest shops. It was close to the beach but you can’t swim there because it’s way too windy. Also, I was a woman in a mixed dorm and did not feel comfortable. There was one guy (who I think worked/lived at the hostel) would turn the light on in the middle of the night. He also made some weird sounds in his bed which made me uncomfortable. The window was left open where people would smoke outside of so it came inside.

REVIEW This place became my home in Tenerife. To be honest, the hostel and the nearby town of El Medano were a welcome break from the 'Disney Cruise style' commercialism of nearby Cristianos and Playa Las Americas. Like a music festival away from a city centre, you can rest assured that people want to be at Aloe Vera. In fact, it seemed like most guests were there for the entirety of my 9 day stay. It's very international and communicative. People are willing to share adventures.

One of the best hostels I’ve stayed in on my travels. I love how different this hostel runs, it’s a bit more like a house than a traditional hostel. The people made me feel at home and I can officially say they still feel like family to me ❤️ Nico, Lotti, Freya, and the rest of the staff have my heart ❤️❤️ would definitely recommend this stay.
