Everything you need to know before you come paddle out as a Lobito.

🏠 The stay
We've got dorms and private rooms across all three houses. Dorms come in 4, 6, 8, 12 and 14 beds — and every room is named after a surf destination somewhere in the world. Privates range from double to triple to quad. At Lagoa da Conceição the privates have their own bathroom; at Barra da Lagoa and Campeche, bathrooms are shared. Every room has air conditioning, and bed linen is included.
Check-in is from 3pm. Roll in earlier? Drop your bags at reception and start enjoying the place right away. Check-out is by 11am — and you can leave your bags with us afterward so you can squeeze out one more day before you go. 😊
Not in the standard nightly rate — only in the surf camp packages (Lobitos Surf Camp, Adventure Camp and University Surf Camp). All three houses sit close to bakeries, cafés and markets, so you can build your morning however you like.
Towels can be rented at reception for R$ 5.00. We'd bring your own if we were you — especially a beach towel.
Yes! Every room in all three houses has air conditioning. There are set usage hours to keep everyone comfortable and save energy.
Sadly, no pets at the hostel — it keeps things comfortable for the whole crew.
🏄 Barra da Lagoa — right on the water, with trails, nature and good waves at your doorstep. This is home base for the Sea Wolf Surf School. The pick if surf is your whole reason for coming.
🍹 Lagoa da Conceição — in the heart of Lagoa, steps from bars and restaurants. Home to Lobitos Bar, a pool, a coworking space and the best night-time scene on the island.
🌊 Campeche — backed onto one of the most beautiful, unspoiled beaches on the island. All ocean, surf and trails. Our newest house, opened in 2025.
Depends on what you're chasing:
Surf + nature: Barra da Lagoa or Campeche
Nightlife + pool + the scene: Lagoa da Conceição
All of it: book a few nights in more than one house! Not sure? Hit up the crew on WhatsApp and we'll help you choose.
Sea Wolf welcomes guests of every age. For families with kids, we'd go with a private room for a bit more space and privacy. Kids can join the surf lessons too — talk to the crew and we'll tailor the experience.
Absolutely! Sea Wolf loves hosting digital nomads and long-stay travelers. For longer runs, check out the custom Surf & Stay package →

Depends how much you want to explore. If you're sticking around Lagoa and Barra, Uber does the job. To roam the south of the island (Campeche, Lagoinha do Leste, Guarda do Embaú), a car makes life a lot easier.
