This is the first and only hostel in Tarrafal. We offer clean and quiet rooms at low prices. We do not have bunk beds ! We make sure the bathrooms are always clean and have toilet paper ! We have an amazing staff that will answer all your questions about Tarrafal and help you plan the rest of your trip in Cape Verde. We are located in the center with only a 4 minute walk to the beach ! Some of our profit goes towards social programs, like our children's dance school. The choice is a no-brainer ! Come stay with us !
** The prices you see here will be cheaper than what you will find on Booking, Expedia, Hostelworld, Airbnb, or other channels/travel agencies. If you have a large group, please email us directly for a group rate proposal. **
We want to take away any unnecessary anxiety about transportation so
here are your transportation options, starting with the cheapest:
COLLECTIVO OPTION
600 CVE per seat taken
Available only between 9:00 and 17:30
In Praia, walk, take a bus, or taxi to Sucupira, more specifically the
"Paragem de Tarrafal" (Central Minibus Station) on Av. Cidade de Lisboa in Praia:
https://maps.app.goo.gl/RPzZGLjYbjKbtbug6
From there, you will get in the van marked "Tarrafal" that is in the
front of the line (closest to the rotunda). You will need to wait there
until it is full (usually takes 0-45 minutes). Once you leave, you will
be on a 90 minute journey through the interior of Santiago passing
through Assomada. Make sure you do not get off at Assomada (which is
about half of the way). The road material switches right about where
the Tarrafal resistence musuem (concentration camp) is. At this point,
tell the driver that you will be stopping at "ponto de encontro" also
known as "meeting pointy"
TAXI OPTION
Starting at 5,000-6,000 CVE during the day and 7,000-8,000 during the
night
Available anytime
Take a taxi from anywhere in Praia and tell them that you want to go to
Tarrafal. Since many taxi drivers are not familiar with the hostel,
once you get to Tarrafal, ask them to take you to the Correios (it's a
red post office). The hostel is beside the post office. We're between
CV Telecom and Farmacia Tarrafal, facing the Parque das Merendas and
Mercado Municipal.
RENT-A-CAR
There is a Hertz rental car kiosk at the airport. They require a
driver's license, major credit card, and you will need to buy
insurance. You will have to return it back to the airport. The rates
vary but keep in mind it will always be more expensive than what it
would cost in Europe due to a smaller risk pool. There are also other
rental car companies in Praia. The route to Tarrafal is pretty simple
but make sure you get a map anyways as GPS does not always work.
