Overview

Vibes is adults-only, which sets it apart from most hostels on the island. Every room is air-conditioned, and you can choose between a private bathroom or a shared one, depending on budget.

Downstairs, the café and bar serve continental and à la carte breakfasts, and a small minimarket covers snacks and essentials. The front desk handles tours, luggage storage and bike or car hire, and rooms are cleaned daily. There's outdoor seating for an evening drink.

Location

The hostel is in the northern part of Chaweng, about three minutes' walk from the beach. Shops, restaurants and nightlife are close by, and the airport is only around 2 km away.

The Big Buddha is about 4.4 km north and Fisherman's Village roughly 7 km, both easy by bike, scooter or taxi.

North Chaweng is generally a little calmer than the middle of the beach, but the busy central strip is a short ride or a long walk along the sand.
