Just 6 miles north of Ensenada, in the small town of El Sauzal de Rodriguez, the clean and comfortable Hostel Sauzal is a quiet garden oasis overlooking the ocean and the Todos Santos Islands. Whether you’re looking for an economical get-away from Southern California, or you’re a serious globe trotter, you’ll be sure to feel right at home.

Enjoy the views & catch a fresh breeze right off the veranda that each bedroom opens up to. With only 4 beds in each tidy room, you’ll be sure to get a good night’s sleep. Each bed is equipped with a comfy, extra-long mattress, bedding and blankets, and a nice reading lamp for the night-time bookworms. A hot shower with ocean views followed by a fresh, homemade breakfast will be the perfect way to get your day started, plus it’s included in the price.

There are bountiful activities in the area; surfing, hiking, fishing, mountain biking - just to name a few. Or follow the lead of many a weary traveler and just enjoy a relaxing day at the hostel daydreaming in a hammock while catching stunning ocean views. A homey and spacious well-equipped kitchen is available for cooking your own meals, or if you prefer, walk down to the neighborhood taco stands. And Ensenada is only a short ride up the highway where there’s plenty of shopping, a plethora of restaurants: from taco stands to fine dining, and vibrant night life in the local clubs.

The hostel’s location in El Sauzal gives surfers access to 3 of the 5 waves that have recently been listed in La Bahía de Todos Santos World Surfing Reserve: San Miguel, Tres Emes and Stacks.

For foodies and wine enthusiasts, El Sauzal is right at the crossroads to Baja’s famed Ruta de Vino (Wine Route) showcasing the Guadalupe Valley’s extensive vineyards, wineries and restaurants, all a short 15 minute drive away from the hostel.
