At PuraVida DiveHouse in southwest Portugal, a white cottage with blue shutters glows warmly beneath the night sky, framed by tropical leaves.

More than a hostel – a home for divers

Sleep where you dive
Wake up and walk straight to the dive center while we prep the gear.

Dive sites proximity
Cliffs at our doorstep and shipwrecks just 5–10 minutes away by boat.
Sustainability is our jam
Every piece of furniture, except for a few quirky ones, was lovingly refurbished.
House of good vibes
Shared spaces and a social atmosphere without chaos – community over crowds.
The great village of Sagres
Sandy beaches, a charming fishing port, local restaurants and surfers’ pubs — all within easy reach.

Cozy Appartement, there is a heater so it is fine in winter. The garden and surrounding area is super nice, the kitchen is well equipped but even if you are missing something, there is always the main kitchen in the hostel. We really appreciated the volunteers working in the hostel making sure we always had everything we needed!

Die Unterkunft war wie beschrieben. Es ist alles da, was man für einen Urlaub braucht. Charmante Einrichtung. Bücher für Leseratten in allen Sprachen vorhanden. Eigene kleine Terrasse direkt vor der Tür. Der Check-In verlief unkompliziert. Das Appartement ist auf der Schattenseite der Anlage gelegen. Im Winter ist das etwas von Nachteil (nicht so hell und feucht) - im Sommer aber sicherlich eher von Vorteil wegen der Hitze. Wir haben uns aber auch im Winter sehr wohl gefühlt und würden jederzeit wiederkommen. Anmerkung: Man sollte Katzen mögen beim Besuch von Sagres. Davon gibt es dort sehr viele. Und man bekommt auch garantiert täglich tierischen Besuch ;-)

Your Home Away from Home

Pura Vida Divehouse, our main house, has two dorm rooms, a fully equipped kitchen for your culinary adventures, a cozy living room, and a shared bathroom. Feel free to whip up your favorite meals, kick back, read a book, play games, or even tickle a Beethoven Symphony on our piano or Santana’s song with the guitar. Haha just kidding, no pressure!
Outside, chill in the sun on our veranda, swing in a hammock, or lay out on the lawn with yoga mats for your daily workout.
And that's not all - For those seeking a more intimate space, check out our two private studios in the garden, each with a kitchenette and a private bathroom. It's your personal oasis right next to the main house!
