Pichilemu Surf Hostal

Middle Chile


Attic-style lookouts with incredible sea views top most of the rooms at this unusually designed clapboard hostel opposite Infiernillo beach. Each room has firm beds, pale linens and huge framed photos of the nearby waves. Expert wave advice is provided by Pichilemu Surf Hostal's windsurfing Dutch owner, Marcel.

Perks include free bikes and chairs to watch sunset on the beach. There's also a restaurant and bar, El Puente Holandés. A new, more luxe property was under construction next door at the time of research.
