Arica Surf House  

In downtown Arica, a surf hostel just a short walk from Laucho and Chinchorro beaches. The Arica Sea Museum and Arica Casino are within about 10 minutes on foot, and San Marcos Square and Plaza Colón sit roughly 1 km away. Close to famous breaks like El Gingo and El Buey, this spot is ideal for surf-minded, family-friendly stays.

Quiet, surf-focused vibe with a laid-back, safe atmosphere. Choose private or shared rooms, including family rooms; some rooms have kitchen facilities. Rooms come with flat-screen TVs, showers and hot water; bed linen and towels are provided. The property is small and social — it was ranked top 3 for best atmosphere in South America (2010).

On-site restaurant and a coffee shop/café. Free Wi‑Fi across the property. Book excursions, surf trips and tow-in sessions from the tour desk, or rent bicycles for local exploration. Extras include laundry and dry cleaning, airport transfers, a ping-pong table, book exchange and luggage storage — plus concierge and safe-deposit services. Wake up to sea-breeze mornings and head straight for the waves.

Complimentary wireless internet and a public computer station keep you connected. A 24-hour front desk and concierge services help with bookings and transfers.

Enjoy meals at the on-site restaurant or grab snacks and coffee in the café. A complimentary continental breakfast is served daily from 8 AM to 11 AM.
