Why choose a hostel in Arona?
Arona offers a mix of sun-soaked coastline and a calm historic core that draws travellers year-round. The old town's Igreja de San Antonio de Padua anchors the upper town with centuries-old character, while the coast below delivers easy beach days along the Atlantic shoreline. Accommodation here ranges widely in price, and hostels in Arona place you close to both sides of that contrast without stretching your budget.
Hostels suit solo travellers and groups who want more than just a place to sleep. Shared dorms keep costs low, and private rooms give you privacy at prices that still beat most hotels. Unlike private rentals, hostels include communal spaces where you can meet other travellers and pick up local tips. The social side is built in, and the savings over hotel-style stays are hard to ignore.

Love how simple it is to compare flights with us? The same smart search engine can hunt down deals on hostels and rooms too. Give these tips a go to find the right stay at the right price.
Book in advance
Book as early as you can to boost your chances of finding the right hostel for the right price. This matters even more during peak travel periods like school holidays and major festive seasons.
…or bag a last-minute Arona hostel deal.
Last-minute booking can be a bit of a gamble, but it can work in your favor. Some stays lower their rates close to arrival to attract bookings, especially on quieter days.
Flexible on dates? Say hello to better rates
A little flexibility goes a long way when searching for cheap hostels. Choose weekdays over weekends, or go during shoulder season instead of the most popular months.
Where to base yourself in Arona
Travellers who find the best hostels in Arona often end up in Los Cristianos, the resort area along the southern coast. A ferry port here connects you to La Gomera, so day trips are easy to plan. The beach is a short walk from most accommodation, and casual restaurants along the promenade keep food costs down. Bars stay open late, making it a good spot if you want evenings out. Up in the hills, the old town of Arona has a slower pace and real local character. Narrow streets lead to a small church square with cafes serving affordable food. Bus routes connect the old town to the coast, so reaching the beach takes little effort. It suits you if you want quieter evenings away from the resort crowds.
