The Best Party Hostels in Nicaragua
Even the quietest souls want to let off some steam at some point, and there are plenty of opportunities to do so in Nicaragua. Here are some of the top party hostels in the country for you to enjoy.
Big Foot
Hostel
Famous for the sand-boarding tours to nearby Cerro Negro, this hostel is also known for its wild parties. Plus, Leon is a beautiful city to wander around in the daytime as you battle your hangover.
Pachamama
Hostel
Close to the beach in San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua’s premier seaside town, this hostel is part of the legendary Sunday Funday party. If you’re looking for a good time, this is the place to be.
Latina Hostel
Hostel
With cheap dorms, group activities and a big outdoor bar, Latina Hostel is a great spot for those on the hunt for fun. It’s better for a daytime session than a late night, but the atmosphere really is spot on. Perfect for solo travelers.
Gigante Bay
Hostel
Surfers looking to ride the waves at Playa Gigante should check in here for post-surfing fun. It’s a slice of beach paradise and well-located for all of the local amenities in Tola.
Naked Tiger
Hostel
Another hostel that is a major reason for San Juan del Sur’s reputation for debauchery, Naked Tiger is a firm favourite on the backpacker trail. Rooms are set in a Mediterranean-style villa that offers great views over the town.
Hostel Lazy Crab
Hostel
A purpose-built party deck gives great views over the island and Lake Nicaragua, while the reggae theme makes for a chilled out party vibe. It’s in a great location and the staff are known for welcoming everyone with open arms.
Ruamoko Hostel
Hostel
You can party and chill out at this new spot just five minutes from a famous surf beach. The staff also organize party boat trips if you get bored of drinking on land.
