„Pomalo“ is a local word that means „take it easy“ (hang loose) and describes our lifestyle. As a traveler who was born and raised on this amazing island, our mission is to present you with essentially local Hvar style providing our guests everything that the island has to offer.
From the moment you wake up to the sound of crickets and view of Pakleni "Hell" Islands to the moment we take you on a tour of the most hidden Hvar spots, lagoons and historical villages and finally partying in local bars, you will feel the local vibe. Experience Hvar through the lifestyle of islander and do it our way.
Island hopping, windsurfing, scuba, sea kayaking, hiking, rent-a-bike boat car scooter, blue and green cave excursions, rock climbing, sailing, fishing, island tours, local cooking school, local summer events (Ultra Music Festival, For Hvar festival), plenty of nightlife, pub crawls, party boat trips, is how we roll' and you will be a part of it.
Hostel features a spacious seaside view outdoor terrace with BBQ, where you can meet other guests, listen to music, read a book from book exchange or grab a beer from our bar.
We are ideally located within walking distance to all major hot spots of the city, Hvar center, local beach, market, restaurants, bars, banks, the post office. It is a tranquil neighborhood where you can have a peaceful night sleeping after night out.
To make you feel as comfy as it gets all of our comfortable dorms and private suite have bathroom, air conditioning, clean linen, blankets and towels, balcony overlooking the sea. Each dorm has safety individual locker with key - these are free of charge to use.
We've got free WIFI and Internet access, pick-up from downtown, small GYM and kitchen. All your valuables we can put in safety box and those of you departing later in the day we also provide luggage storage.
Every night there are usually happy hours in our bar to warm up, after you are welcome to tag along on our nightly pub crawl and get free shots and discounted drinks in Hvar's best bar.
Your stay comes with a friendly atmosphere, funky hosts and friendships that last a lifetime.
The Shaka hostel is like your own Hvar home with a 24/7 local friend that will make sure you don't miss a second of your best vacation ever!
