La Ventana Azul Surf Hostel
Our place is fun, directly at the surf spot, sunny most of the time during the year. The island has a lot of micro climates, you can enjoy hiking in mountains, different types of sport, socialising with guests, find new friends.
We always make sure volunteers have everything they need to feel at home and spend some good time with the rest of the Team and Guests. During our weekly meeting we try to coordinate, support and motivate eachother to reach our goals. We also schedule activities for the following weeks.

About the experience in: Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain

My experience at La Ventana Azul was my first one with Worldpackers, and I couldn’t have asked for more. The hostel and the city feel like a happy island, with a warm and cheerful atmosphere from day one.
I built incredible connections with the other volunteers, and together with Paul’s kindness and energy, everything felt truly magical.
Between surfing, the ocean just steps away, and the amazing vibes, it was an unforgettable stay. A memory I’ll carry with me forever! Thank you so much!!

I stayed from late June to mid-August and had an amazing experience. Meeting guests, spending time with volunteers, and enjoying fun moments with Paul, the manager, especially while surfing, made it unforgettable. Making friends is easy thanks to nearby hostels, great colleagues, and friendly guests.
The location is perfect for surfing, and the island is easy to explore by bus (though renting a car is more convenient). The work is straightforward, leaving plenty of time to enjoy your stay. I’d definitely recommend this hostel for a fun and memorable experience.

First proper experience volunteering at a hostel and couldn’t have asked for a better time! Other volunteers and guest you meet are always lovely. The shift schedule and work involved is exactly as described and very fair.
Paul is an excellent manager! I would recommend this hostel to anyone, especially if it is your first time volunteering :)

My experience at La Ventana Azul was amazing. The hostel is really nice. The location is amazing! The atmosphere with the other volunteers and guests was very social and open. There were lots of opportunities to practice my Spanish with guests. The manager is amazing. He really makes the volunteers feel appreciated and valued. The hours and tasks are very reasonable and you still have plenty of free time to explore the island :)

My experience at La Ventana Azul has been my first WP experience and it couldn't have been better! Unfortunately I could only stay for a short time, but if I had the chance, I definitely would have stayed longer.
The tasks are very manageable (mostly cleaning and helping with check-ins). They don't take up too much time, which leave plenty of room to enjoy everything else, hanging out with guests and other volunteers, exploring the island and surfing. Paul the hostel manger is very nice and welcoming, and the atmosphere at the hostel is just great. I really recommend this hostel!!
