Los Destiladeros Beach Tours

Selina Hostels at Playa Venao The hostel is new and not finished yet, but it has a great design, is located directly at the beach and the staff is really cool. A con is that there is only one shop which has basically nothing and is really expensive; so you either have to bring your food or eat at the bar in the hostel. The beach itself is good for surfers, but you can also enjoy the waves without a board. There are only two (or maybe three; nobody knows) buses from Pedasí to Playa Venao: once in the morning (I think at 7) and once at 12 o'clock. It takes around 1.5 hours. Keep your eyes open and when you see the sign of the hostel, shout "(la) parada, por favor"

Once you've ticked this stretch of coastline in Punta Mala off your must-do list, why not make your way to Playa El Toro? It's close to Los Destiladeros Beach and is one of this area's highlights.

9.8/10 Exceptional! (60 reviews)
We stayed one night and it exceeded our expectations. The owners were incredibly friendly and easy to contact, making us feel right at home. Everything was spotless, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The homemade breakfast was a highlight—absolutely delicious and full of flavor. We will stay again longer next time.

9/10 Wonderful! (1,002 reviews)
The beds and bedding were bad. The duvet wasn’t clean, the pillows overstuffed and hard and the bed was squeaky. I’d say the beds were a 2 star hotel level.
