Turn 'moments into memories' in this vibrant creator's space in Vagator, the most high spirited region of Goa- known for its beaches, parties, water sports and chilled vibe. The Bucket list Hostel attracts creative backpackers from around the world, offering a colourful (and budget friendly!) environment to relax, create and party with a diverse community of life-loving souls. We believe in living a bucket list life.

Chill during the day with yoga, board games, cycle tours, badminton challenge, table tennis game, books to read on hammocks and socialising before setting yourself up to earn a FREE T SHIRT by drinking 9 beers and 3 shots in the huge outdoor bar. The multilingual friendly bar staff will make The Bucket List Beer Challenge easy, with bar games and live music happening long into the night. The Bucket List Beer Challenge has had over 750+ guests participating, but we only have 38 winners so far. Not everyone is a born legend! Community Dinners, Beer Pong Nights, Pool party right on the beach - we have events planned for all of you. This hostel is not for LUXURY SEEKERS but for MEMORY MAKERS.

Whilst the bar is the heart of the hostel, the dorms will not disappoint. Individual bamboo cabins are nestled within the jungle garden and are equipped with fans (Sustainability) with high speed WiFi and comfortable beds, allowing you to immerse yourself in the natural environment whilst enjoying a restful sleep. We also have one AC ensuite dorm which is sold out on most of the days. The private rooms are like no other hostels ever before. We offer you an entire apartment with swimming pool, kitchen, gym (Limited to only private room guests) for the price of a room and hence its always on demand. For budget options, we have the ac standard dorms with ensuite toilets (not the greatest), otherwise we will suggest you with the AC premium dorms and our private rooms are the best in the city of any hostels around.

Having backpacked around India and the world, I would be happy to give you my suggestions if you need any help with planning your Indian Backpacking Trip. You wont be just a customer for two days or so. Always feel free to message us in our instagram if you need any tips while travelling around India.

I went during off season and it didn’t feel like that all, it was super social and lively and everyone was amazing! 10/10 would recommend, plus it’s in the centre of Vagator so everything is walking distance!

Had a wonderful stay here. The atmosphere was vibrant and laid-back, perfect for meeting new people and unwinding. The staff and owner were absolute vibes—super chill, fun to hang out with, and honestly felt more like friends than hosts.
