Ashavana Nest Hostel

El Médano | Tenerife

🌊 Just a step from the sea, with the best wind in Europe and a rooftop you won’t want to leave.

Ashavana Nest is literally right by the sea, in El Médano: the chillest and most bohemian village in southern Tenerife. You walk out the door, and in less than a minute, you’ve got your feet on Playa Chica (yep, just 60 meters away). Want to hit the big beach in El Médano? It’s just a 3-minute walk. 🏖️

The wind blows almost every day, making this the mecca for windsurfing and kitesurfing in Europe — whether you’ve been riding the waves for years or you’ve never stepped on a board. And the rooftop is the heart of the place: tables for remote work during the day, bean bags for chilling out, and when the sun sets, it’s the perfect spot for outdoor dining (bring your drink) and watch Montaña Roja turn orange.

What’s the best way to get here? The Tenerife Sur airport is just 4 km away. You land, grab a short bus or taxi, and before you know it, you’re dropping your backpack by the sea. 🎒
