Longboard Paradise Suites  

Perched on Rio de Janeiro’s Praia do Pontal, this surf-forward hostel sits steps from sand and crystal-clear water. Walk to Tijuca National Park or hop a short drive to Recreio dos Bandeirantes and Barra da Tijuca for more beaches and city vibes.

Think laid-back surf culture with individually decorated rooms, a sunny terrace and a garden to chill in. Expect simple comforts—blackout drapes, irons and daily housekeeping—plus a communal kitchen and a common TV area for easy socializing. Sunrise beach yoga and trails through nearby mountains and forests add an adventurous twist.

Beachfront access to multiple surf spots for all levels, yoga on the sand, bikes to rent, a library and a tour desk to book local excursions. Complimentary Wi‑Fi on the grounds, pet-friendly rooms, airport transfers available for a surcharge, and a 24-hour front desk keep things effortless.

A business center and meeting support plus complimentary wireless internet make remote work and small meetings straightforward.

An on-site restaurant serves local flavors and a daily continental breakfast is available (7:00–11:00 AM for a fee). A communal kitchen is also on hand for DIY meals.
