Ocean nomads hostel

Because it’s more than just a place to stay — it’s a lifestyle. Nestled in sunny Los Cristianos, Tenerife, our hostel offers a unique mix of beach vibes, international connections, and creative energy. 🌴🌊

As a volunteer, you’ll be part of a tight-knit team where your ideas matter and your personality shines. Whether you're helping with daily tasks, co-creating events, or contributing to social media, your input helps shape the atmosphere here.

💛 Perks? Of course: – Just steps from the beach 🏖️
– Daily sunsets and good vibes 🌅
– A coworking space full of digital nomads, creatives, and travelers from all over the world 💻🌍
– Plenty of free time to surf, explore, dive, hike, or just chill
– A community that feels like family

You won’t just volunteer here — you’ll grow, connect, and maybe even stay longer than planned (it happens more than you’d think 😉).

We’re a small, passionate team that believes a hostel should feel like home . Our team is a mix of locals, long-time travelers, and creative souls who genuinely love what we do. You’ll find us organizing beach cleanups one day and dancing barefoot under the stars the next 💃🌴

As for how volunteers are treated? Like family.
We know that great energy comes from people who feel seen, valued, and supported. That’s why we take the time to get to know each volunteer personally, listen to their ideas, and make sure the experience is fun, balanced, and meaningful.

✨ Volunteers here can expect: – Clear communication and fair schedules
– A supportive, positive environment
– A chance to contribute in creative ways (not just cleaning!)
– Lots of shared meals, laughter, and unforgettable moments
– Freedom to explore the island, rest, and grow

We don’t just “use” volunteers — we build with them. Many of our best ideas, most epic nights, and strongest friendships have come from the amazing people who joined our team along the way ❤️

Estuve en el hostel Nomad un mes, y mi experiencia fue muy buena, los voluntarios y Mati super buena onda, y con todos tuve muy buena relación. En cuanto a mis tareas, yo estuve en la parte de Social Media, asi que podía manejar mis horarios y tambien fue muy buena la experiencia. Por ultimo, la ubicación del hostel era muy buena, estaba a 10min caminando de la estación de colectivos por si quería recorrer otra parte de la isla, y sino el hostel está ubicado en pleno centro de los cristianos, en frente a la playa! Excelente experiencia, y si venis vas a conocer personas de todo el mundo!

My experience at the hostel Nomad was truly incredible. As my first volunteering experience, I honestly couldn't have asked for anything better. I ended up staying for more than a month thanks to the amazing and motivating environment I found there. Sabela and Mati are fantastic. They may be demanding, but they always make you feel comfortable with the tasks, even if it's your first time doing housekeeping, and they're super flexible. the hostel Nomad is one of the best hostels I've ever stayed in, with a stunning the hostel view and the most beautiful sunsets. Don't miss this opportunity

I had a great experience at the hostel!🌊 I worked in social media and marketing, It's a great opportunity to grow, meet people from all over the world, and join many fun activities that you can organize with the other volunteers. Sabe and Mati are really nice and funny people, and they always try to make you feel at home. The location is perfect, just in front of the beach, the atmosphere is welcoming, and I felt at home from day one! I would recommend this to everyone ☀️🌴✨️

I originally planned to stay just one month at the hostel, but the experience was so special that I ended up staying over two months, and every day was unforgettable ✨ The location is perfect, with the beach just steps away, and the shifts are super easy and relaxed, leaving plenty of time to explore the island and enjoy every moment. What truly makes this place unique is the connections you make with people from all over the world. I want to thank Mati and Sabe for all their kindness and trust 🩵🌊, they make me feel completely at home. I highly recommend this experience🐬🌅🐚🩵

I really liked my stay at the hostel while helping out at the reception, organizing and leading group activities and creating content for Social Media. I liked socializing with so many guests and volunteers from all over the world. I was independent and you have to be flexible with shifts and content to create. Basically I took stories of the Hostel, activities and trips. The reception work was fun and sometimes challenging, but I liked to take on some responsibility. The experience is basically what you make out of it. Even though it was a bit chaotic sometimes, I can highly recommend it!
