House Of Surf Hostel for Women

We are a women’s only hostel trying to create safe spaces for women inside and outside the ocean and hence do a lot of slow travel retreats whenever possible and if you can help hold a safe and healing space for women , our house is for you :)

I’m a solo traveler turned digital nomad turned retreat host- I have adhd and so naturally am working on guiding guests , curating retreats and handling marketing for our surf house and other festivals I handle any day. Most of the experiences and retreats are co-hosted by me with experienced professionals and Ancy my front desk manager will always be present at the hostel 24/7 to help guests and anyone at the hostel with their everyday activities. Then we have staff and volunteers who help us with cleaning and other logistics . I am available online to help any guest or volunteer any time as the house is a personal passion project of mine above everything else- and the peace of the people who visit the house is very important for me. Ancy , my manager is not very fluent in English but she is learning the language and building her own confidence communicating with people at the hostel and if you face any difficulty communicating with her - I’m always available as a mediator as we are committed to employing local women as staff to give eveyone a fair chance at life and healing :)

My 1st experience volunteering at House of surf was THE BEST!
Aparna managed very good the activities where I had to participate and create content …
The manager of the hostel, Ancy , show me everything around the hostel and the neighbourhood make me feel at home all the time, I got such a good memories in this stay.
I did so little in comparison whit what I got ! I hope coming back next year.

My time at the hostel was very nice! I arrived during the off-season, but there was still plenty to do around the area. The hostel has a great location far enough from the busy areas to be peaceful, but close enough to restaurants if you need them. Aparna is very flexible with the work, and I really enjoyed creating content during my stay. The place itself is lovely, and the balcony is amazing for doing yoga, relaxing, or watching the sunset. If you’re looking for a more relaxed side of India with opportunities to practice yoga and surf, this is the place!

Dear Mayra

We had a lovely time hosting you and you genuinely helped us create some quality content of the hostel and especially of the international surf festival- we are so excited to see more of your content and we wish you get to find and nurture more travel communities across beautiful coastlines. And please come back anytime you miss the hostel and our waves here :)

Thanks so much for adding color to our life and the hostel - a part of you will always remain here, everytime we pass the beautiful mermaid you have left for us. Wishing you loads of cool surf shores in your life ahead :)

Unfortunately, I was only able to stay for one week but I had the best time!
I felt very welcomed and can tell the place is very special. When I stayed there, there wasn’t too much work to do, accordingly I had a lot of free time and was able to enjoy the beautiful nature in Varkala.
Hope I can come back one time and stay longer.

Dear Alexandra,

Thank you for staying with us, even if it was for a short while. As we were in between retreats, you caught us at a very peaceful time and we are so glad you had a wonderful time staying with us as well. We wish you can come back another time for a longer stay- but until have loads of fun slow traveling Thailand. 🤍

What a pleasure been part of this beautiful project! Aparna is super flexible, has a huge warm heart (so try to enjoy this project in the best way and not just be another volunteer), is always willing to help you and clarify things of work. She will allow you to be free to explore and activate your creative side. Just do it! My days in Varkala were quiet/chill and with the company of Ancy (manager) I could understand more the local culture and live beautiful experiences! Thanks for having me, Aparna! You rock! And I can't wait to be back one day to see this project still strong and bigger! =)
