Pinguins Hostel  

Perched on the edge of Lagoa da Conceição in Florianópolis, this lagoon-front, budget-friendly hostel sits steps from Santa Catarina Island. Walk to Joaquina Dunes and Praia Mole in minutes, or head a short way to Galheta Beach and the lively Centrinhos da Lagoa. The city centre is about 11 km away.

Rooms run from four- and six-bed dorms to two-bed private rooms with lagoon views. Décor is warm and simple, with ceiling fans and private bathrooms or shared showers depending on the room. The vibe is social and friendly—staff greet you with a typical Brazilian drink and help you plug into the island scene.
