Punta La Barca Nomad Hostel

Perched atop a hill, the coliving space features a light bamboo construction that provides panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean, surrounding hills, and the quaint village below. The rooms showcase a simple and natural design, while common areas, such as the kitchen, coworking space, and relaxation areas, are semi-outdoor spaces. With a focus on integration with the environment, the coliving minimizes the use of walls and fences to strike a balance between practicality and harmony with nature.

Guests can enjoy a variety of amenities, including workspaces, communal lounges, and reliable internet with speeds of 11 megabytes per second, with the option to upgrade for faster connectivity. The community consists of a small group of laid-back nomads who value community, sustainability, and inclusion. Each day typically begins with a locally sourced breakfast, and weekly community dinners are facilitated by a stocked fridge filled with ingredients, complemented by tropical fruits and vegetables for added freshness.

Residents can immerse themselves in the authentic lifestyle of a small fishing village, participating in activities like kitesurfing alongside humpback whales, connecting with like-minded nomads, and embracing a free-spirited existence in nature. The coliving accommodates a close-knit community of 5 to 15 individuals, including digital nomads with children, fostering a diverse and vibrant environment. Visitors typically stay for one week to three months, becoming part of a community where most residents are fishermen who embody a peaceful and communal way of life.

The village itself radiates charm, primarily inhabited by fishermen who maintain a strong sense of community. The pristine 7km-long beach, often secluded, offers a tranquil setting for relaxation and leisure. Safety is a priority, as both the village and the beach are considered secure day and night. While free-roaming dogs contribute to the local ambiance, individuals wary of dogs may need to consider this aspect. The warm ocean provides excellent conditions for kitesurfing, surfing, and whale watching during specific seasons, complemented by an average temperature of around 27°C throughout the year with predominantly dry weather.
