Pura Vida Hostel

Pura Vida Hostel is the only hostel in Rio de Janeiro with the charm of a medieval castle.
We are located in the best spot of Rio, only one block from Copacabana beach, about 15 min walk to Arpoador and Ipanema beach, and a 2 min walk to the public transportation of your choosing (bus or metro).
Here we do everything with Pura Vida flare and that includes our parties, always frequented by Cariocas looking for a fun time with live music, DJs, and good people.

Built in the beginning of the last century as the Polish embassy of Brazil, the house of Pura Vida Hostel preserved its initial architecture, which is rarely seen nowadays. The castle-like house was influenced by designs that hold a classic sense of European beauty and decor. With stained glass windows, chandeliers, and amazing woodwork, the house is a fascinating fusion of Art Nouveau style and medieval European construction. These are just some of the details that make Pura Vida Hostel the only one of its kind in the state of Rio de Janeiro! The last highlight of our beautiful house is our ‘Taverna’, the medieval bar of Pura Vida Hostel. The ‘ragers’ we hold at the Taverna are always frequented by Cariocas (Brazilians born and raised in Rio de Janeiro), other out-of-state Brasilians, and tourists from all over the world. Our parties feature the best Carioca DJs Rio de Janeiro has to offer as well as live rock, jazz, samba, and cultural shows. The space of the Taverna has also been used in various films (including a film on famous Brazilian singer Tim Maia) music videos, private parties, and even weddings. ‘Pura Vida’ embodies fun and our ‘party house’ is already recognized as one of the best nightlife options in Rio de Janeiro as highlighted by numerous popular newspapers and magazines like ‘O Globo e O Dia’ and ‘Veja e Época’! Pura Vida is a greeting of good energy. Just like the expressions: tudo bem, aloha, carpe diem, and tamu junto, the expression Pura Vida conveys a sense of well-being, happiness, and enjoyment! All of this is the style of Pura Vida Hostel. Come live the Pura Vida experience as a Worldpacker here!

I just finished one month at Pura Vida. I had a lot of fun, met so many beautiful people and saw so many cool places! As for work, I cleaned for 6 hours a day, 4 days a week. The work was definitely doable and not extremely hard. The other staff is also always open to questions and help you where needed. Besides the work, you get a lot of benefits as a volunteer when it comes to discounts on party’s, drinks and food. The hostel is a really easy place to meet other international people but locals as well. Dalton and Felipe are great owners who really want you to have a good time, so BIG LOVE!!

My experience at Pura Vida was simply unforgettable. I loved every part of my stay, from the vibe of the hostel to all the amazing people I met. I was part of entertainment group and honestly, it was the best job. It allowed me to explore the city every single day in a fun way.
I totally recommend this place especially if it's your first time volunteering. The team, the activities, and the energy at Pura Vida make you feel at home from day one
I truly wish I could’ve stayed longer but unfortunately, I couldn’t due to personal reasons. Still, Pura will always have a special place in my heart.

Pura vida fue mi primer voluntariado y en la mejor ciudad del mundo Rio de Janeiro, va a ser difícil que otro voluntariado supere este y el mejor puesto que pude tener, fotógrafa! Fue un placer Felipe y Dalton y a todos los chicos que ahora son amigos 🙌🏻 Me sentí parte del staff completo, vou a ficar com muita sdds da comida da Lulú! Fue como una madre para mí, y pura vida una casa! En un mes se viven más cosas que en un año de vida, nunca se deja de venir a RJ 🇧🇷🌟💓 Brigada!!

A experiência no pura vida tem que ser vivida pra entender, só posso recomendar a todos que querem ir pro Rio, se rodear de amigos e aproveitar a cidade. O Dalton e o Felipe são solícitos e atentos às necessidades dos voluntários. Os horários de trabalho são respeitados e não são excessivos. Não é por nada que a maioria dos voluntários e hóspedes voltam, vale a pena!

I loved my time here at Pura Vida! All of the full time staff and other volunteers were kind, accommodating and felt like a family :) I really respect Felipe’s organization and flexibility. The job was exactly as described with expectations and hours clearly outlined each week. The volunteers are well compensated here and I felt like what I did mattered. I had an amazing time meeting lots of people within the community and practicing languages. I recommend Pura Vida highly and can’t wait to come back :) Obrigadaaaaa
