My main goal from this place was to learn Portuguese and i definitely learned A LOT during my month there mainly because of the fact that most of the staff members don't speak any english, and even with the language barrier i felt welcomed. My only problem was the volunteers room which was super moldy but they started to renovate it literally on the day that i left so not sure about it now. Working in the kitchen was fun and very easy if you have some kitchen experience. All in all would recommend, the island is amazing and the atmosphere and the hostel itself as well!

This volunteer experience was incredible! This is the biggest hostel I have stayed in. An incredible space in the middle of nature, and at the same time the center of the city where everyone can find their own cozy place. I met many amazing people and learned a lot of new things about work, perception of life, and languages. The island is very beautiful and feels good energy, but the people undeniably make this place magical. Special thanks to Gerson and the rest of the staff! the hostel is in my heart ❤️ I'll come back for sure!!

All the magic you see on socials really happens here. the hostel structure is incredible: you can do yoga classes, chill by the pool during the day and enjoy the night at the local bar. It's located in the heart of Ilhabela, with easy access to many beaches and waterfalls. Staying longer you may have different and amazing experiences like boat trips and a journey at Bonete. Last and most important point: people. There are many other volunteers there at the same time and this helps a lot elevating the whole experience, plus the hostel staff and all the guests you'll meet. Thanks!
