When planning a trip to the magnificent Canary Islands, finding the right Tenerife surf accommodation can easily make or break your entire holiday experience. You want a place that perfectly fits your budget, matches your unique travel style, and most importantly, puts you as close as possible to the best waves the island has to offer.
At Tree House, we know from years of experience that every traveler is different. Some seek a quiet retreat to work remotely, others want to learn how to surf from scratch, and some just want to enjoy the vibrant Spanish nightlife after a long day in the water.
That is exactly why our community has grown to include three different, amazing concepts across the south of the island. Whether you want a laid-back bohemian town, a bustling coastal city, or an immersive surf school environment, here are the 3 ultimate options to help you choose the perfect base for your next adventure.
1. Tree House Hostel: The Social Hub in El Médano
If you are looking for a highly social, flexible, and affordable Tenerife surf accommodation, our original Tree House Hostel is the perfect answer. Located strategically close to the charming town of El Médano, it is the ultimate base camp for independent backpackers, digital nomads, and experienced surfers who want to explore on their own terms.
The El Médano Experience:
You can rent a comfortable, clean bed (starting from just 20€ a night) and build your own daily schedule without any pressure. We provide a dedicated coworking space with high-speed internet, making it ideal for those who need to balance work and travel. With our huge chill-out areas, sunny terraces, and fully equipped shared kitchens, it is incredibly easy to make new friends from all over the globe.
Furthermore, if you love wind sports like kitesurfing and windsurfing, the world-famous bay of El Médano—which regularly hosts international competitions—is just a few minutes away from your dorm room.
2. Tree House Surf Camp: The Immersive Vibe in Callao Salvaje
If your main goal is to purely focus on improving your surfing skills while living the authentic, dedicated surfer lifestyle, our Surf Camp in Callao Salvaje is exactly what you need. Located on the beautiful and rugged west coast of the island, this property offers a much more structured and immersive package.
The Surf Camp Experience:
At the Surf Camp, you will be surrounded 24/7 by people who share your exact same passion for the ocean. The camp focuses heavily on daily, intensive surf lessons led by certified, professional instructors. This makes it the ultimate choice for absolute beginners catching their first foam, or intermediate riders wanting to finally level up to green waves.
Staying here gives you access to a completely different set of waves and uncrowded spots, which you can track daily on professional forecasting sites like Surfline. After the lesson, you can relax by the pool, review your video analysis with the coaches, and enjoy a family dinner.
3. Ocean Nomads Hostel: Right in the Heart of Los Cristianos
We are incredibly thrilled to introduce the newest addition to our growing family: the Ocean Nomads Hostel, located right in the bustling, sunny heart of Los Cristianos! This is the ultimate choice if you want to be within walking distance of the most famous and consistent surf breaks of Playa de Las Américas (like the legendary “La Izquierda” or “El Medio”) while still enjoying the vibrant city nightlife.
The Los Cristianos Experience:
At Ocean Nomads, you get the classic, welcoming Tree House hospitality you expect, but set in a more urban, energetic beach-city environment. It is the perfect spot to surf all morning at the famous volcanic reef breaks, grab a delicious cocktail at a beachfront bar at sunset, and explore the lively streets, clubs, and restaurants of the south coast until late at night.
Which One Should You Choose?
The absolute beauty of our family network is that you do not necessarily have to choose just one! Many of our smart guests love to hop from one hostel to another to get the full Canarian experience.
You can start your trip learning the basics at the Surf Camp in Callao Salvaje, move down to Ocean Nomads for an exciting weekend of nightlife and reef surfing, and finish your trip at the Tree House Hostel to enjoy the relaxed digital nomad lifestyle and visit Montaña Roja.
